What Clients Say About Bo
From stem to stern, Bo Brown is the boat broker you want on your deck! Before our sailboat purchase, Bo never missed answering a question, never made us feel pressured and explained every step of how to make our purchase "smooth sailing" in terms of paperwork. Never easy to negotiate a purchase from 1,300 miles away, we never felt "abandoned" up North. I have bought previous sailboats from other brokers who leave you "high and dry" in a negative sense never following up after the deal is inked. Not Bo, he stays with you every nautical mile including transport arrangements. Kudos to you Bo — may our tacks cross again!

Beginning with our first encounter we were impressed with Bo's professionalism, communication and low pressure manner. He gave us great advice while listing our sailboat. We sold and closed in less than 2 months. Bo went above and beyond to help out the out of state buyer. We couldn't be happier with our experience and whole heartedly recommend Bo Brown and Preferred Yacht Sales.

What a great experience selling my sailboat with Bo Brown and the whole team at Preferred Yachts!! They did what they said they would, kept me in the loop during the process, and went above and beyond in assisting with the boat during the sales process, as I was out of town for much of it. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to sell their boat, and if I ever decide to buy another boat will no doubt engage them as my "buyers broker" to help in the process. Great job!!!

Honesty, integrity, and generally awesome brokerage to work with. Can't say enough about Bo Brown as my listing broker. They did what they said they would and always went above and beyond. Great people and they made it really easy and worth every penny of commission paid. None of the games you may find with other brokers. Highly recommend.
