Dominant Seller Strategy

"Justin , Elizabeth and I want to thank you for all the exceptionally hard work you did on behalf of our acquisition of Oculus. Your choice of Yachting Select as your company name is accurate. You provided Concierge level service in not only the purchase but establishing all the proper Insurance, Charter documents , legal ,accounting and you went the extra mile by delivering the Vessel to Nassau in the Middle of the Palm Beach boat show! Please feel free to have any prospective client contact me for a personal reference. I’ve been boating for over 50 years and dealt with many Brokers, your honesty accuracy and transparency throughout this transaction was first class."

"Just to let you know that the original relationship building done by Nereus in Marin del Rey relay laid out a solid foundation for our business relationship. He is a really good operator and should be commended. A true gentleman and extremely rare in this day and age!

The Denison Yacht Reputation precedes our meeting as it is a solid foundation on which to build. Nevertheless, I have previously had some terribly bad business relationships which have seriously hurt me from companies who have been in business longer than Denison.

I was really glad to come across Nereus by chance and this feeling of trust was compounded when I met you and Justin. Especially in these times of GFC and recession, it can be difficult to initially establish, build and maintain a business relationship. Especially half way around the world.

"I am really very happy that we have met and I feel hopeful we will continue to do business for quite some time. I am not sure it will be huge business (The Australian Market is not huge) but it should be enjoyable. Despite one or two setbacks (no ones fault) Justin has persevered and remain professional and thorough throughout.

Over this time I believe I have developed a friendship with Justin and his efforts are really appreciated.

All I can really say is that you have a great team of professionals of the highest integrity within your organization. I could only wish that when I was in business, I had individuals of the same caliber but they are extremely hard to find.

A simple “Thank You” seems insignificant, yet in today’s world it is often spoken too little. I am really happy I have met you all and look forward to continuing firstly our new found friendship and secondly our business dealings.

It is clear to me that with the team and relationships you guys have, you cannot fail to succeed.

Many thanks and I look forward to our continued business."

"I live in Australia, and a couple of years ago I started exploring the possibility of purchasing a particular model Cabo Motor Yacht that I have always wanted and that is not available here in Australia, and I came across Justin Onofrietti, and so our story began… Justin understood my brief exactly, and after that initial contact, we both decided to refine our search in Europe for this model, so it would easily suit our Australian voltage requirements.

As a result, over the past 2 years Justin only presented to me the boats that he himself was happy with and that he thought were up to my standards, that were in different parts of Europe. It was evident to me in those very early stages that Justin’s passion, honesty, direct and quick communication was second to none, Justin is a true professional and so easy to work with [even though I may not be], and nothing is ever a drama to him at all, he has a very settled manner and a ‘can do’ attitude. When we finally decided on the ‘one for me’ [after a few others beforehand], Justin flew to Europe and was personally present at the Survey with our registered Surveyor & during the Sea trial, his experience and knowledge throughout this process was exceptional."

"It is very special when you have the trust and total confidence in someone, when I am on the other side of the world. For me to not even personally see the vessel throughout this whole process let alone touch and feel it, was something I have never done before in my life, but it was such a comforting experience with Justin and is very hard to explain to people. Justin has gone over and beyond with my purchase and has been there every step of the way and guided me all the way from back-and-forth Communications, Purchase, Survey, Sea trial, Holding at Marina, and Shipping, not to mention the language barriers and different cultures that he helped me navigate thru, plus much more – I just cannot imagine doing this with anyone else.

He is such a precise person and his attention to detail is nothing short of amazing, without Justin I would not have found the correct boat for myself, as I am a very particular person – he has always had my best interests at heart regardless of the deal. I look forward to my next purchase with Justin, also introducing my boating friends to him, and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Justin to anyone who is after a trusted sincere person that will give his all on a deal, and will tell you how it is, and will make any part of the required detail happen. Thank you Justin for finding my fun boat and putting up with me, together we have been on a journey with this purchase, and I now have a friendship that I value greatly. I look forward to one day having a relaxed beer with you [and of course some fishing mate!]."

"I owe this to Justin Onofrietti who quickly understood what I was looking for and quickly presented a number of boats that he thought might be suitable, pointing out various areas where he felt they had shortcomings.

Justin contacted me early in November 2009 to say he had found what I was looking for in Bay Harbour Michigan and that should I decide to go ahead that he would deliver it to Fort Lauderdale a distance of some 1,700 miles for the costs of fuel and outgoings, I think it was one of those adventures we all intend to do but never get around to.

I found Justin very easy to get on with and that he came across as a very sincere and honest person so I decided to put my trust in him and decided to go ahead with the sale following a successful marine survey by a qualified naval surveyor.

Justin went out of his way to bring every thing to a successful conclusion after a lot of very hard work that must have stretched his patience to an extreme at times.

Justin had the boat slipped again in Fort Lauderdale for me and prepared for shipping to Australia, this included cutting a good deal on the freight rate well below other Brokers.

Justin has become a firm friend and I take this opportunity to recommend him to anyone seeking out his help in what ever venture it may be."

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much for all your help Justin Onofrietti, and extra input, on the purchase of my Carver Yacht. You will be highly recommended as my yacht broker on any local inquiries."

"In our quest to find a Kadey Krogen 42, we spent many-a-month online window shopping before we honed in on two boats we wanted to see. Both boats happened to be at Solomons Island, Maryland and within striking distance from the Annapolis Boat Show. The day before we were scheduled to see this boat our yacht broker, Justin Onofrietti, called to remind us..."

"I recently sold a 55’ Azimut that I had listed for sale with your company, through Justin, in October of 2010. The boat had been sailed from Connecticut to Florida and, prior to its arrival, I was aware of several problems with the boat including gel coat discoloration, excessive vibration and non-responsive electronics.
The boat was delivered to Marine Max in Dania to correct these problems. Subsequently, it took almost 6 months to correct the defects which precluded our ability to actually market the boat.
During that time, Justin was there, checking on the boat on a regular basis. He sea trialed the boat several times and was extremely helpful in communicating with Marine Max in view of the fact that I was in Connecticut at the time.

Finally, in early April most of the work had been competed and we began to actively market the boat. Within a month Justin was able to secure a buyer and negotiate a great purchase price. He subsequently coordinated the survey and the paperwork throughout the closing process.

I can’t say enough good things about Justin. His professionalism, compassion and efficiency are second to none and I would definitely engage him in the future. I thought it appropriate that such good work be commended."

"Being from out of state, I was concerned about using an unknown broker. However, Justin did a great job. From the initial showing through the sale, he represented all parties fairly and was very accommodating. He is knowledgeable about the products and did his best to find answers quickly when he didn't know them. Even after the sale, he continued to provide assistance and was always very responsive. I would highly recommend Justin Onofrietti for any power boat sale."
