For buyers and sellers on Puget Sound — power or sail — the actual sequence, not the marketing version. With a broker who reads the survey like a yard manager.
Where we earn our long-term reputation. Market scan, shortlist, walkthroughs, sea trial, independent survey, escrow, closing. We'll tell you when the boat you love is the wrong boat — twice, if you don't hear us the first time.
Professional photography, a synchronized listing across YachtWorld and our own site, and direct, named outreach to qualified Northwest buyers — not autoresponder e-mail blasts.
With 40+ years on the repair side, Mark reads survey findings like a yard manager — so refit costs get estimated honestly and you negotiate from real numbers, not guesses.
Power and sail, Elliott Bay to the San Juans. Which yards to trust, which surveyors to call, where to keep her — three decades of Northwest answers, free with the relationship.
Grand Banks 42 · the kind of survey work we coordinate every weekWe retain only independent, credentialed surveyors. The boat comes out of the water, the bottom and running gear get inspected, the sea trial runs against a written checklist tied to your use case — and the findings often become the basis for a second negotiation. With Mark's yard experience, nothing in that report gets glossed over. That's where the deal is really made.
How you'll use the boat, where you'll keep her, budget, and the constraints you haven't said out loud. What you want versus what you actually need — we're honest when those aren't the same boat.
Five to ten vessels, listed and quietly available, each with a written assessment, the number we believe it should close at, and the questions we'd ask the listing broker.
We meet you on the dock, from Seattle to Anacortes. Sea trials are coordinated, documented, and assessed against how you actually plan to use the water.
Written offer with contingencies, independent survey and haul-out, then the second negotiation the survey makes possible — read by someone who knows the yard side.
Escrow, USCG documentation or Washington titling, and clean paperwork. No surprises at the table.
Yard and moorage introductions, the punch list, the maintenance plan, the next cruise. The relationship doesn't end at the closing table — it's why people come back.
If a boat is wrong for you — or priced wrong — you'll hear it. The fastest way to lose a repeat client is to sell them the wrong boat once.
No call center, no rotating reps. Paul, Bill, and Mark each work their own clients start to finish — the friendliest team on the water, and the most reachable.
Decades on the repair side mean the scary-sounding finding gets put in perspective, and the quiet expensive one doesn't slip past.
Elliott Bay to the San Juans, power and sail. Where to cruise, where to haul, who to call — thirty years of local knowledge included.
