Dear Mark
and Stephen,
We wanted
to drop you a note and let you both know how pleased Carla and I were with the
service you provided us. As well we thought it appropriate that we give you a
letter of recommendation for others that may be wanting to use the services of
a quality broker.
Buying a
sailboat thousands of miles away from your home port can involve a lot of risk
and stress unless you are dealing with honest, trustworthy and professional
yacht brokers.
My wife and
I were fortunate to find the right yacht, in the right place, listed by the
right brokers.
In December
of 2012 we answered an internet ad for a Moody 425 listed with
Williams&Smithells Ltd in Lefkas,
Greece. The
listing broker was Mark Ellyatt and
he was stationed in their offices in Great Britain.
Mark
was wonderful to deal with and very enthusiastic even though many brokers would
not have wasted too much time on an enquiry from Canada, halfway across the world.
All our questions were answered in a timely fashion and no detail was over
looked. Mark was able to gain our trust almost immediately and that went a long
way when we sent a substantial deposit on the boat subject to viewing it.
When my
wife and I arrived to view the yacht we were introduced to Stephen McIntosh the
local broker in Lefkas, Greece. Stephen went out of his way
to ensure that all the last minute loose ends were tidied up and did a wonderful
job of explaining each and every detail that we would be dealing with.
My wife and
I came away from the long distance yacht buying experience really pleased with
the whole process, it could not have been handled any better. It takes a
lot of experience to handle a long distance purchase and you'd have to look far
and wide to find a more capable team than Mark and Stephen.
Cheers,
Robert and Carla, Surrey, B.C. Canada

Despite the current economic situation in Greece, Lefkas, has proved to be increasingly popular for those looking to buy and sell their yachts in the Med, with more boats traveling from further afield to get a head start over other competing yachts on the market.
Having such a large collection of yacht for sale in one area allows our buyers to view several different vessels in one day providing them with a fresh perspective on each boat and giving them the ability to make accurate comparisons between each model ensuring the one they eventually acquire is the ideal boat for them.
