I highly recommend working with Carr Yacht sales. He found my dream boat, which I didn’t think was out there, set up the surveyor and flew out for the inspection to represent me when I was not available. He was instrumental in negotiating a great price, and his after sales service has been excellent. Through it all we have developed a great relationship of trust and friendship. To put my money where my mouth is, I recommended him to my neighbor, who he successfully found a great boat for, and I gave him the task of selling my boat. He came out and did an amazing photo/video shoot and has done tremendous marketing. Colby Carr is one of the few trustworthy and hard working people in this industry.

Customer service and attention to detail were fabulous. I was never waiting information or what are the next steps. Colby was not a local broker but was highly recommended and didn’t disappoint. He flew down from Alabama to south Florida multiple times. The best compliment I can give was his negotiating style and diligence. Colby saved me substantial dollars off the listing price and got me a deal that was below market value.

I can’t say enough good things about working with this yacht broker. The level of professionalism, communication, and attention to detail is top tier. Every referral that’s been sent my way has been quality work, and it’s clear they truly care about the people they connect with. It’s rare to come across someone in this industry who consistently looks out for both their clients and the contractors they recommend, but that’s exactly what you get here. The trust they’ve put in me and my business means a lot, and it doesn’t go unnoticed. If you’re buying or selling a boat and want someone who actually delivers, keeps things smooth, and stands behind their network, this is the person you want in your corner. Looking forward to continuing to work together and building even more success.
