Credible, honest, trusted, helpful, personable!

Kent,
What can we say that has not already been said? You have been so incredibly patient with us over many years in our ongoing search for the perfect live-aboard sailing vessel. You are a true professional, extremely knowledgeable, and willing to share your experiences to help guide us in our pursuits. You allowed us time to grow as we picked your brain for ideas and went from a pocket-sailor to a weekend sailor. Finally after many years of bearing with us, you listed & sold our Beneteau 331 when the economy was going down. You were fair on all levels of the deal (Jan2011). Having always purchased a new vessel you were there to guide us through the used vessel market as we searched for the live-aboard that will take us into retirement and the islands. Thanks for allowing us the time to find our “old gal” (Beneteau 44 CC) and sharing you network of trustworthy providers in the marine industry to help refit the old gal. You have become a trusted friend, appreciated for your honesty and steadfastness. We wish you nothing but success!
Fair winds,

Kent,
I want to thank you for all of the help you have given us in purchasing our dream. From the start you provided the information we needed to choose the right boat and then went above and beyond to gather details, get pictures, travel with me to inspect, etc. We have really been impressed with your “after sale” involvement, too, even to the point of helping us dock for the first time at the pump-out station! We appreciate all of the local professional references you have provided and your 28+ years of experience made our experience a lot of fun. You eased the stress of learning all the many things and people we needed to know. We’ll be referring any prospective boat buyers to you.

We listed our boat with Kent in December and in less than 30 days we had a buyer! Thanks for a job well done.

I want to thank Kent and his crew for such a Great job and listing and selling our sailboat. He was available whenever we needed him and even took the time to be available for the survey when we were out of town. Thanks for your service and such a pleasant experience.

Hi Kent,
Back in Nov. 2007 you brokered the sale of a Stamas 44 named “Gemini Dream” – I was the buyer. I’ve been out of the “loop” for a while cruising on that boat. The boat is now docked at Isla Xalaja (www.xalaja.com) on the Rio Dulce in Guatemala and is ready for more fun in Honduras and Belize this spring. I saw that you now have your own brokerage… that’s great. I hope all is working out for you there. I just wanted to drop you a note to wish you well and let you know that three years after purchase, we’re enjoying our boat to the MAXIMUM extent humanly possible… Thanks!

I’ve bought 2 boats thru Kent and sold 2 boats thru Kent and each transaction exceeded my expectations. Kent does a great job! Also he has an extensive support network that he uses to “help with the details” and get the deals done smoothly and right. Looking forward to the next Boat!
Also happens to be a great guy and good friend!

I Met Kent about 10 years ago when a buddy bought a new sailboat from him. Kent got my email address and has kept in constant contact ever sense. When it came time to buy our 65′ Marquis Motor Yacht I knew who to call.
We purchased literally the largest boat on Lake of the Ozarks with the intention of moving it overland to the Mississippi and ultimately to the Gulf. I’m going to really test Kent on this one. Oversize and overweight – this will be one to watch.
As a first time boat buyer, I needed a lot of hand holding and Kent was a real trooper. It was very important in this deal to have the experience and contacts that Kent provided.
Hopefully, I’ll be trading up in a couple of years and you can bet Kent will be involved.

Hi Kent-
I wanted to thank you for your assistance in our recent purchase of our Beneteau 311. As the broker for the seller, you exceeded my expectations as far as being professional, patient and fair.
I also appreciate your continued assistance in sharing your experience/knowledge in response to the many questions I seem to keep coming across in getting going on my “new” boat.
Kindest regards,

Kent,
I’m very pleased with the deal and I am very excited to have this boat (Albin 28). It is more my style than the sail boat, although I am happy to have had the experience with the Beneteau 393. It was a pleasure to work with you too Kent. I have confidence in your integrity and respect for your work ethic – although it took you almost four days from the sale of the Beneteau before you offered to sell me another boat (are you slipping)?
