Mike did a tremendous job for us and was there every step of the way in our purchase of a Grady White Canyon 336. He was instrumental in negotiating a good deal for us and handling logistics through the entire process. His contacts and references for all the key services required were great. He helped with everything from hauling logistics (from the East coast), setting up an LLC for the boat, survey work with local experts, registration, insurance, etc. He really was a one stop shop. We had such a great experience we are also listing our current boat with Mike and know he will do another great job. Thanks Mike.

Highly knowledgeable, very helpful throughout every steps of boat researching and purchasing process.I am extremely happy with my Swan 371. Getting a great broker is the key. He is really the best!

Mike Dorgan has earned the respect of a vast number of yacht owners, both buyers and sellers. He is knowledgeable, well-connected on the waterfront, experienced and credible. He accomplished the sale of our 1998 model Bayliner 4788 to the satisfaction of both the seller and the buyer. This was done under very difficult circumstances as the buyer was never able to personally inspect the vessel, but relied on Mike. The boat had to be shipped to Canada with a very tight schedule. During the critical last few days Mike had shoulder surgery but still managed to get all the issues resolved.

We partnered with Dorgan Yachts to select and purchase our new Beneteau First 36.7. From the first emails and phone call Mike helped to guide every part of our search, investigation, and eventual purchase of Pegasus. He is the ultimate Yacht professional, with terrific knowledge about yacht systems, performance, history, mechanicals, and the sales process. I could not be happier with the service and attention Mike offered to us, and the new boat continues to make the family happy.UPDATE: By the end of the first summer we have enjoyed countless day sails, plenty of nice evenings, a 2 week family cruise, and first place on a long distance race (DH). The boat checks all the boxes! Thanks again Mike Dorgan.

Mr. Dorgan assisted me with a boat purchase. He pointed out things I would have never have thought of. When it comes to engines, sails, bottoms, electronics, storage, transporting, racing, etc... he will steer you in the right direction, he saved me a lot of heart ache. As a new boat owner he really explained and educated me on the pros and cons of each potential boat. If you have any questions about yachting, boating, selling or buying, seek Dorgan Yacht’s advice first!

This review is long overdue. I entered into a charter/purchase agreement for a racing yacht back in July of this year 2020.Mike Dorgan brokered the agreement and handled all of the arrangements as I was an out of town customer. Mike was nothing short of amazing in his efforts to bring the deal together. His relationship with the Boatyard, Marine Mechanic, Rigging Service and Survey Company made this agreement easy and seamless. Mike if your reading this review, the experience was excellent, the boat is beyond anything I could have hoped for and your standing in the San Diego yachting community opened doors that have lead to relationships that would have otherwise never happened. You handled this transaction as the premier yacht broker you are. Keep an eye open for that GP42/TP52 we discussed, I couldn’t imagine doing my next boat through anybody but you. Having a Blast, thank you!

We hired Mike to assist in selling our 1988 Catalina 36 foot sailboat. He had it listed and sold within 3 weeks! It was the easiest process I could have imagined. He took care of everything and walked us through all the steps. We would highly recommend Mike and Dorgan Yachts to anyone looking to sell their boat! We plan on going through him when we purchase our next sea lady!! Thank you so much Mike!

Thanks Mike.My wife and I have purchased and sold several boats over the years and have had some good broker experiences and some others that were not so good. This experience with Mike was great. Mike clearly understands that taking care of all the small details during a purchase can make the process smooth and comfortable. Mike was responsive to our questions and concerns each step of the way and made the process fun. We would list for sale or purchase through Mike again.

My first time buying a boat and Mike did a great job making sure the whole process went smoothly. Very responsive to all my questions. I highly recommend Dorgan Yachts if your in the market for a new boat.

Only place I would go too! Mike is the guy!

Mike Dorgan, president of Dorgan Yacht Sales, handled the sale of our Peterson 44 that we have owned for over 30 years. Mike is extremely organized, personable and did an incredible job of advertising and getting the word out. In regard to boats and boating Mike is very knowledgeable and has had many years of experience. Whether you’re buying or selling a boat you can’t help but feel comfortable working with a person of his caliber. His hard work, attention to detail and follow up goes way beyond anyone else in in the yacht brokerage business. He definitely goes the extra mile and that explains his great success in helping both boat buyers and sellers, over the years. My thanks to Mike for his very professional manner in which he handled the sale. I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience

I have 100% confidence recommending Mike Dorgan to anyone I know. Mike recently represented us on our first powerboat purchase. He made the process extremely smooth and really went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable on our new boat. Mike was there at every stage to help and advise - from boat selection, to negotiation, to sea trial and survey, to legal documentation and transfer - his knowledge and assistance was invaluable. Mike adds even more value post-closing with his extensive boating industry network that he can access to put you in touch with the best professionals to maintain and make improvements to your new vessel. I will not sell or buy another boat without Mike.

Dorgan Yachts had a nice little powerboat I was looking for. I flew out to sea-trial the boat, it was as Mike described it, and its in my slip in Michigan now. Mike had the surveyor, the yard with the lift, and all the boat documents ready when we met, from 9-12 we ran through systems and checked the boat out, he dropped me at the airport same day.Mike helped me get a great trailer built, facilitated all the paperwork with ease and handed over the keys 28 days later. What could have been complicated and frustrating was easy and hassle free, Dorgan yachts is exceptionally professional.

Mike is the ultimate value add yacht broker. He seemed to pour his heart and soul into helping us purchase our first boat, a Beneteau 393. We were not the easiest buyers with lots of small (in hindsight nit-picky) issues that Mike never showed any irritation handling. No job is too small or too big for this professional. We also purchased the vessel while living in Seattle which added to the complexity. Could not have gone smoother and most importantly, we purchased feeling confident about the purchase having leaned on Mikes deep expertise. Thank you Mike and Dorgan Yachts for your terrific service.

Amazing! Mike is the best. Absolutely the tops in professionalism and just a great person in general. Almost makes it fun to sell your boat!
