We met Chip when we were boat shopping ; he showed us a boat he was brokering and impressed us with his sailboat knowledge, and because he truly listened to what we were looking for. He didnt pressure us or try to hide the flaws of what he showed (or disregard if it didnt tick our wish-list checkboxes) and was genuinely more interested in making sure we found the right boat for us—even if it wasnt one of his.Naturally when we listed our boat for sale, we asked Chip to be our broker.We just closed the sale of our 1987 Gulfstar Hirsch 45 sailboat and could not be happier with him as our broker. We think that Chip Cramer is an awesome broker and human being. We trusted him completely and he proved his worth by selling our boat in a timely manner for a very good price.We also believe that Chips delivery service for buyers makes it that much easier to sell boats in a market full of out-of-state buyers who often want to moor the boat somewhere other than where they bought it.You will have our business if we ever decide to buy another yacht and we will recommend Chip wholeheartedly to anybody we know who may be looking for a boat or a broker.Thanks!Wayne Seitz

I contacted Jack Malatich at S&J on one of his listings during my offshore cruising boat search. When I came to Annapolis he listened carefully to my cruising parameters, showed me the boat, and answered all questions directly without any hard sales embellishment. I shortly afterwards purchased a boat listed from another brokerage that better matched my needs, but I will always remember being impressed by Jack’s overall marine industry expertise as well as his specific model knowledge of the listing.

Didnt buy the boat but S&J represented her faults honestly and the staff is knowledgeable about sailboats. Theyre searching for our next boat so were hopeful that well be seeing them again.

A great team of people from start to finish. From Jim Ireland in the search and subsequent find of our dream boat to the closing team - everyone was extremely supportive, helpful, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking to join the lifestyle of a cruiser.

The word that comes to mind concerning both Jack and Sharon Malatich of S&J Yachts is integrity. They made our buying experience enjoyable for us, from finding the right sailboat, through negotiation of the deal, closing the purchase, and subsequent sale of our old boat. My wife and I would not hesitate to purchase our next boat through them (IF there is another boat, perhaps a trawler).
