Since I would be taking the boat the same day as seeing it, it needed to be pre-payed. They assured me that the money would be wired back immediately if the deal fell through. Well, I saw the boat, negotiated a lower price, and took her home. The balance was back in my account within 48 hours. These guys are friendly and trustworthy professionals. They did not try to influence anything about the sale and purchase, just did the work to make it happen. Buy from them with confidence!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great sells peoplePosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t write testimonials, but John Merriam of Manatee Pocket Yacht Sales damn sure earned one . . . so here goes. I found John Merriam to be one of the most honest, ethical, conscientious, and courteous individuals I’ve ever dealt with in a sales transaction, of any kind. He is absolutely top-notch, and I recommend him without reservation. If you are considering buying or selling a boat, reach out to him. I am confident that you will immediately be impressed, and that he will bust his tail to meet your every expectation. To say that we were pleased with John’s efforts in making our boat purchase happen, or that the boat’s owner was well served and represented by him in a professional manner, is a tremendous understatement. It was an absolute honor and a pleasure dealing with John. If I ever need to purchase another boat, or sell the one I purchased, he will be my very first phone call -period. John Merriam and Manatee Pocket Yacht Sales scored a 10/10. Chris and Charlotte G. Marlargo 35Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
