Testimonials from Satisfied Buyers and Sellers

• “Tom was fantastic! He represented Manatee Pocket Yacht sales with superior professionalism. He was honest, straightforward, and always curteous. He made appointments to show the boat and always showed up on time and was a wealth of information, he completed our transaction on time and flawlessly. We love our new boat. When it comes time to sell and upgrade, I’ll certainly seek out Tom’s help. Thanks again!” –Jeff.

• “Just a short note to hank you and your professional staff for all the help and assistance in purchasing a few good boats in Florida. We were very impressed with the friendliness, help and advice you gave us. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Also must add how much we appreciated your help in collecting, finding storage and transporting boats to the shipping terminal. All our boats arrived safely in Fremantle, Western Australia and were just as you had described them. We will be purchasing a few more again soon and would request your assistance again. Much appreciation and please thank the rest of your staff. We look forward to continuing business with you in the future.” – Bill Mills, Director, Mandurah WA, www.bluelightning.com.au

Your honesty regarding the boat, which is top notch and assistance to get the deal done is without question. Please have anyone call me for a reference. Thanks again.” –Timothy E.

• “Tom, thank you for all of your help with this. The House of Hope has to  be happy that the boat sold already. If I know of anyone looking to sell a boat or buy a boat, I will be sure to send them your way. Thanks again!!!” — Hank Meira Stuart, FL

• “Tom, thank you so much for selling the donated boat for The House of Hope. This will allow us to continue our mission of helping those in need here in our community. We sincerely thank you for your support.” –Maja Casson, Stuart, FL

•  “Tom, it has been an absolute pleasure working with you.  Your honest and professional approach is quite unusual in this industry.  I  found the perfect boat and Tom lived up to his word, the listing had a canvas package but at time of delivery there was none, Tom did arrange a new canvas package within a week and paid this out of his own pocket. This is what I call standing behind your product. I can without a second of hesitation recommend Tom to everybody and I know that I will be back when looking for another boat.” –Gert van Buren, Bonaire,  Dutch Antilles
