I decided to purchase an X yacht that was located in California and would need to get it back to Charleston. My broker Glen Appelbaum ensured there was continuity with his company from the time the boat was put under contract to the time it was tied up in its slip in Charleston.He contacted his counterpart Erik Mayol, who attended the survey, sea trial and offshore closing, as well arranged the logistics associated with shipping the boat to the East Coast. Once the boat was discharged in Ft Lauderdale, another counterpart within the company, Matthew Morrison, received the boat and moved it to a marina. He ensured the boat was secured for an impending storm, as well as oversaw preparations for the final delivery to Charleston. This included having batteries replaced and the engine serviced.Glen accompanied me to Ft Lauderdale to bring the boat to Charleston.What might have seemed a daunting task with potential for failure turned out to be seamless and smooth.Glen and Denison far exceeded my expectations of what a superb broker should be. We communicated daily through the whole process and he and Denison handled literally every part of the process. I did nothing. I can’t imagine using another broker. It’s not possible to offer a higher level of service than I received.

I wanted to share my experience as a first time buyer on a sailboat.After a long time looking I found the sailboat off my dreams, I contacted Jeff Erdmann a broker with Denison Yachting in Fort Lauderdale that I found online. I have to say if it wasnt thanks to Jeffs professionalism and honesty, would have not been able to close the deal. Jeff was very patient and helped us all the way to closing and even after closing he was available for great recommendations such as finding a slip getting supplies etc.....

Honest with integrity. Great experience

We can’t say enough about Max Murphy and the professionalism he has shown. His attention to detail and especially his follow through has been superb throughout the process. Max is extremely knowledgable in the yachting industry and he would put any prospective buyer or seller at ease. We are excited to have Max and Denison Yachts represent us in the sale of our beloved yacht.

My Wife and I have been boating for many years and we have purchased many boats.While at our condo in Fl early one Sunday morning we came across a listing from Denison Yachting.We called about the listing and within 10 minutes we received a call back from the listing broker Mike Kiely.We told Mike that we were interested in the boat and that we had a flight back home in the afternoon.Mike said he could pick us up and take us to the boat in about 30 minutes.This all happened before 9:30 in the morning.Who does this in south Fl?Mike took us to see the boat, he was very knowledge about the boat and the boat was exactly as described in the listing.During the entire purchasing process Mike was there to guide us and deal with any hurdles that came up.Even during covid when we arranged to have a captain bring our boat north, Mike was there to make sure everything went smooth. Mike met with the captain for the delivery.We would highly recommend Mike Kiely and Denison Yachting if you are planning to buy or sell a vessel.John and Tammy

Hats off to Jeff Erdmann. Super knowledgeable and kind sales rep at Denison. Im nowhere near ready to make a large sailboat purchase and he was still very gracious with his time and even gave us a boat tour. Cheers!

I have been looking to upgrade to larger boat for quite sometime. I have been working with Max Murphy for quite sometime in going over specks and options on multiple different boats including sea trials. His professionalism knowledge and years of being a captain have been invaluable. I will absolutely use Max to broker my deal on the upcoming purchase of my next boat

Mike Kiely is the Best yacht broker we have ever worked with. His ability to take top quality photos, videos and even drone videos will greatly increase our boat selling for a good price. We strongly recommend Mike and the team at Denison Yacht Sales.Chef Jimmy NadellOwner Hunter 49-ValkyrieMarathon Florida

Max Murphy is a boat captain having run many boats and specific Vikings for 20+ years. He thoroughly understands the workings of boats, the designs, the layouts, the maintenance and the mechanics, as well as customers needs for fishing or live aboard. He is personable, reliable, and. professional. He thoroughly answers questions and listens well to meet his customers needs in all ways possible. A pleasure to work with.

Meeting and doing business with Max Murphy was one of the best things that happened to my family in the boating world. He is probably one of the most knowledgeable brokers out there today. His advise, opinions, and guidance are spot on everytime. Not only does he know boats, he knows people, a lot of people, everywhere. Everyone whonmeets the guy loves him. When ever I had a question or a breakdown, he always had the guidance to direct me for help, no matter where we happened to be in our journey on the water.

My husband and I were very pleased when we learned that our captain of twenty years, Max Murphy, had joined Denison Yachting as a broker. Weve known of Denison Yachting as a professionally run business and know that Max is already a valuable addition to their team. He not only has the hands-on experience of running, managing and maintaining boats he also possesses the traits that we expect from our employees; honesty, dedication and a willingness to go the extra mile to make sure that the job is well done.

Denison Yacht Sales is one of the most professional, knowledgeable and responsive brokerage companies I have ever worked with. Mike Kiely is a broker who get the job done. I listed my 108 Westship with him. Mike knows the market, he knows boats, and he understands people. I am impressed by the Denison Yacht Team and highly recommend them.

Max Murphy combines the experience of a veteran broker and knowledge of professional captain that makes a real difference for his clients.

Max Murphy is represents the company and has handled our listing extremely professionally.

What a painful experience buying a boat here, starting to feel sorry for broker and closing agent, seems like the first day of school here. Cash buyer in escrow before they start trying to locate seller for documents, and you guessed it, late closing in breach of purchase agreement. Closing agent just completely outside of her skill level, still no title or registration started 31 days and counting. Promised full ownership over a week ago, but...... Just started the process today, ( I think), well see..... Now Im told trailer may not be registered because someone forgot to get I.D card from seller??? Ive purchased multiple real estate easier than this.

These guys are switched on! Very professional and responsive, the media and imagery they produced for marketing our boat was impressive. Boat sold in no time. Thanks

The best - bought a 39 Nortech -great job - Conrad all over it - from financing - to transporting the boat from Puerto Rico - to sea trial

Very Knowledgeable with Top Quality Service. Highly Recommend!!!!

This place is GREAT!!! Get all you yachts from this place, you wont regret it!!!

Great professionals indeed!

Beyond excellence!

Work there
