What are people saying?

I found him honest, pleasant, easy to work with , loyal, effiicient, but above all a first class seaman.

Sir Robin Knox JohnstonSailor
A big thanks to Dan. We are fairly new to sailing and buying boats. At the end of last year we found a 35 foot yacht we were interested in. We asked sailing friends who we should go to for help, advice and guidance on what to look out for in a boat. They recommended Dan. He provided some great help, advice, insite and technical knowledge on what we should look out for and the mistakes to avoid , what the pitfalls could be and what were the areas that could cost us money going forward.. We are very grateful for his help and are convinced he helped us to get the right boat for us at the right price.

Great advice from start to finish when I was buying my boat. Clear, practical and genuinely looking out for my interests rather than just ticking boxes. Gave me real confidence in the purchase. Won't hesitate to use them again.
