It is interesting to note that most of our sales continue to be previous satisfied Sea Lake clients and the referrals they send us. After all we have been in business for over 20 years. Still many sales are just from walk in traffic, as we are still widely known as the place for quality boats. And of course our newest source of buyers are coming from our website. www.sealakeyachts.com


As everyone knows, the web changed everything, but after 3-4 years of most everything in the world being on the net, most of our clients know now that the web is just a research tool. You still need a broker to represent you in a sale. You need someone who knows the ropes and the ins and outs of this business.  If you have been searching for a boat, why not let me help you, after all I am looking at boats everyday and might just find the one that is just what you have been looking for. Just call or email me with the specific criteria (i.e. size, use, manufactures, budget, etc..) and allow me to the searching for you.

 

Thank you to all of you that have let me help you with your boat purchases over the last fifteen years, I look forward to helping you again in the future.

Looking forward to seeing you all at this year’s In The Water Boat Show

As always, I am willing to help you in any way I can.

Thank You,
