Brokerage Yachts for Sale

I just wanted to thank you and let you know how pleased I was with my overall yacht buying experience. Chris is a true professional, prompt, courteous, responsive and honest. Perhaps the highest level of praise I can bestow upon him is to say that when I am ready to sell my boat, Chris will be the only broker I will contact.

Once our Listing Agreement was signed, Chris immediately produced a professional brochure and showed our boat in an extremely professional manner, which resulted in several leads. He followed up on them diligently, produced a buyer, negotiated the price to every one’s satisfaction. As a Commercial Realtor, I would rate Chris’ skills and professionalism very highly.

Sell our Gulf Harbour N47 through Chris was as painless experience as can be expected. The boat sold in less than 6 months at a fair price. Chris has a keen eye and sound judgment recommending appropriate repairs and cosmetic improvements. Moreover, he solicited competitive bids and personally oversaw all work. He and his team professionally handled all aspects of the offer/acceptance process, sea trial, survey and closing—saving us a 1500 mile trip. He even packed and shipped our personal belongings. Chris simply goes the extra mile for his clients.

Chris I wanted to write and thank you for the first-class job you did making this deal happen. You and you alone were the driving force behind getting the sellers end of the deal done. The logistics of me being 1000 miles from where the boat was and where I live was a daunting task to coordinate all parts of the sale. You did it as quickly and expeditiously as humanly possible. You made certain the boat was serviced and clean when we came to bring it up the coast to Maryland. I hope in the future that more people get to experience how a professional works by hiring you as their broker.

Being new to the area and purchasing our first boat, we were very lucky to find Chris. His experience, attention to detail and follow-up helped us purchase a great boat- we couldn’t be happier. We will definitely ask Chris for assistance when we purchase our next boat.

Chris came highly recommended by his peers in the boat business - key words like: hard working, diligent, and professional - I was not disappointed!

Chris Cooke recently helped me get a Jupiter 31 and it was a great experience. He sent me several listings in the area which we narrowed down to one listing. He took the time to drive there and answer questions I had about the T-Top height. Then, we both went down for a visual inspection of the boat. After that, he scheduled a sea trial, which we both went on, and then I bought the boat. His process was enjoyable and he did a thorough job getting all of the paperwork and forms prior to the sale. Chris Cooke is a professional and you can't go wrong having him as your Yacht Broker.

Chris' integrity, experience and smarts about boats - combined with his calm perspective from service abroad as an Army combat medic and more than seventeen years as a yacht broker - make him the consummate advocate for his clients.

Over the years, I've owned eight boats (ranging in size from 19-56') and, by far, the easiest and most pleasurable transactions I've had were the two that Chris Cooke handled for me.

Chris recently sold my Tiara in this very low-priced and competitive market. This was a challenging sale since my boat was in Jupiter, which caused him extra travel time and effort. After weeding out the usual lo-ball offers, he found the best prospect and then organized the sea trial and survey. I feel that Chris got the best possible price for my boat with a lot of personal and professional effort.

After reviewing many brokers, I chose Chris Cooke based upon his reputation for achieving results. Thus, I listed my boat with him and we accomplished a sale within three weeks. Could I say more about success?

We worked with Chris in 2010 to sell a 32ft. Stamos. Chris went to work immediately on the project and within 2 weeks the boat was sold. Yahoo!

“I have bought and sold many boats and I have never seen a yacht brokerage company work with as much integrity and dedication as Christopher Cooke and the team at United Yacht Sales did with the sale of my last boat. During the sea trial, he made sure that the buyers had food and drinks so that they could just enjoy the ride. It was interesting to note that the other broker didn't consider his clients needs, which to me is the difference in his attitude and why the sale was successful in less than three months.”

“As a new boater, he explained the difference between a pod and a stern drive, the advantages of a bow thruster and the pitfalls of gasoline engines when compared to diesels. No one else would take the time to educate a “newbie”. He set me up with an entire stable of nice and reliable professionals: giving me a list of surveyors to choose from; a finance guy who actually got our deal closed on the day it was scheduled; a Captain to improve my level of comfort with my new 45’ vessel; introducing me to my current yacht manager and finding a hurricane safe marina which greatly reduced my anxiety as an absentee owner. So, do yourself a favor and use Christopher Cooke as your yacht broker. You will be glad you did.”

“There were three things that set Chris apart from his peers – first, he was willing to share his knowledge. Second, he was willing to share his connections and contacts in the industry. The third, and most important, was the fact that he truly cared.

I have been in the marine industry over 30 years and, as an owner of a boat dealership, I have high expectations. When I needed to sell a big boat in South Florida, T tried a couple of other brokers which only led to frustration and disappointment. When I found Chris, there was a big difference in his approach, from the initial writing of the ad and pictures all the way thru the final delivery. Chris stayed on top of everything and did a great job of communicating. No doubt, in the future, I will use Chris again.
