WHAT CLIENTS SAY

Stories from those who have already chosen to sail with us

“I cannot emphasize enough how pleased I am with the services provided. In particular, with Sara, a true professional. She will diligently work with you to find the best alternative for your request and the follow-up is incredible. At all times she is engaged and find useful solutions to any of your requests. I am particularly impressed with her response time. No matter what time or what day she will get back to you immediately. I wish the scale of stars will allow for more than 5 for those exceptional cases that exceed expectations, this will definitely be one. I strongly recommend her.”

Ricardo Ernst

Google review

“I cannot speak more highly of the service provided by Sara and Peter at European Yacht Brokers. They were pro active and professional and arranged the sale of my yacht exceptionally well. I would give them 6 stars if I could.”

Neil Burton

Client review

“This is only the second time I’ve ever written a review. But European Yacht Brokers truly deserve it for their comprehensive service. They guided us step-by-step through the entire purchase process abroad. Sara, in particular, provided us with expert feedback at all times and guided us through the boat buying experience. Whether our future boat needed an inspection, maintenance, or technical modifications, Sara and her team on-site handled everything efficiently and without unnecessary bureaucracy. We found European Yacht Brokers to be open and honest brokers. They offer everything from a single source, and we would gladly use their services again if needed.”

Thomas Knorr

Google review (translated from German)

“We have nothing but good things to say about Peter and Sara and European Yacht Brokers. We have felt really safe and well taken care of all the time. Due to a health scare we weren’t the quickest in our decisions but they were really patient and never pushy with us. As someone else said the response times have always been incredibly quick and the way they have communicated has been friendly, professional and clear. In addition their willingness to help has continued long after we finished our business together.”
