Manatee Pocket Yacht Sales, Stuart FL

Excellent buying experience with Chip Cramer at Manatee Pocket Yachts. Chip was knowledgeable, super responsive, directed us to mechanics/surveyors and made the whole process easy with us far away in Boston. Chip went from boat broker to friend! Highly recommend!

Manatee Pocket Yacht Sales is the real deal! They made the process easy and comfortable. Captain Lee Bowden’s service is impeccable. He really goes above and beyond. Thank you so much for the great experience!

John was amazing. He went way out of his way to help us buy our boat. They were always available when we needed a question answered. I would definitely recommend this company.

I highly recommend Manatee pocket Yacht Sales for your next boat purchase. They were very helpful throughout the whole purchasing process. They were very thorough with the inspection in water testing of the boat prior to purchase to make sure you are happy with the product. Call John for any boat questions or purchasing. He is spot-on and make sure the process goes smoothly. Thanks John

Not your average Yacht sales group These guys Turn and Burn as we used to say in the Navy. If your selling or Buying they can make happy customers either way. A big High Five on the SEA FOX!

Tom Whittington and the Team at Manatee are top notch. I trusted them to hold my money for several months while a boat was in storage. They did everything the said and I would highly recommend them. I really like my boat and I'm super pleased with the whole purchase process!

I listed our 33 foot trawler with Lee Bowden of Manatee Pocket Yacht Sales. I was very pleased with Lee’s service. He was always enthusiastic about the boat and worked hard to make sure that I got a fair price. One of the many things I liked about Lee was the fact that he often included me in the sales process. I knew the boat very well and Lee understood and appreciated that. I participated in many of the showings. I believed that helped us sell the boat as buyers often have questions that only the owner can answer.

Ultimately, Lee was able to sell the boat for close to the asking pricing (after we made a few price adjustments during the listing period). The closing went well and I believe the buyer is very happy with his new boat.

During the listing period, Manatee Pocket provided me with a monthly report of activity on my listing. I really appreciated that report and was able to use it, along with Lee's advice, to adjust the price as needed to generate the level of interest I wanted.

It is worth noting, however, that the buyer did not come from an internet listing. Rather, the buyer walked into the Manatee Pocket office where he met Lee’s colleague, Tom Whittington, who owns the brokerage. After interviewing the prospective buyer, Tom determined that the gentleman would probably like my boat. Tom referred hime to Lee who showed him the boat and ultimately negotiated the sale. I really appreciated the fact that Tom took the time to learn about my boat even though it was Lee’s listing. They worked together well, giving me the sense that I had a team working on my behalf.

Allan Goode is more than good. His last name should be Goodest!

Having been in the Boat Brokerage business myself, I can assure you that Al will arrange
to show only those boats that he believes will not only meet your desires but boats
that are seaworthy.

We purchased a 43 foot Motor Yacht using Al as our Broker.

Too many words usually define nothing.
I simply say that Al Goode is the man to work with if you want to go to bed without worrying about whether or not you are in good, honest
hands.

I used Allan Goode to sell my 43 foot cruiser. I've owned and sold boats for 40 years and Allan is the best broker/salesman I've worked with. He knows boats. He is professional. He is always available. He is honest. He works hard. You could not find a better man!

Allan is a fantastic broker, always making himself available and ready to answer any and all questions, and I have had many. I highly recommend Allan for buying or selling a boat.
