CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

In short order the sales team of Sean Fenniman and Nicole Drost convinced me Allied Marine was the best choice over all other brokers. Their attention to detail and prompt service outmatches their competition.“They literally outworked other brokers and secured me as a loyal customer.” What a relief to receive paperwork quickly and as promised. Would not hesitate to recommend this duo.

I have purchased two boats from Sean Fenniman and Allied Marine in Stuart, FL. Both experiences were handled professionally and with great attention to detail. Making such a large purchase is stressful, however, this team understands those stresses and allows the purchaser to go through the process in their time, without any pressure or judgement. I give this group the highest recommendation. They have made my family’s dream come true – twice!

I can’t say enough about these people. I’ve had 7 transactions (buy and sell) in the past 7 years on boats with them. Every promise made was kept with special help like … Sean Fenniman stayed up most of the night once working with a mechanic to address some survey issues that arose last minute to save the sale that would have fallen apart… Sean swapped a Garmin from his personal boat for my new faulty one so I could start my trip north once … he personally cleaned a boat prior to a showing due to the vendor canceling the last minute. His Wife Tina helped me totally renovate 2 yachts, coordinating countless vendors. Tina offered to run to the registry in Florida for me when I was having an issue renewing online and followed up after to make sure I was okay. Nicole Brova Drost provided painless closings each time, chasing down issues before I even heard about them.

I was in the market for a larger Sportfish and called Peter for additional information on his listing. Although the listed boat was under contract, Peter found one a little better equipped in the same price range. Sensing we should move quickly, Peter suggested we board right-away. We had only worked (together) a short while but Peter’s understanding of the build, attention to detail and professionalism made the deal come together easily. We worked with the seller directly and carved out a deal during the showing that made sense.

Living in North Carolina we did not have direct access to the inventory of listings found in south Florida. Peter Kurki maintained a vigil on vessels he thought we would like in the South Florida market, visiting them for us before endorsing. Peter’s knowledge and understanding of manufacturers, systems and performance made for a comfortable purchase. After a life-changing event, Peter then subsequently represented our vessel for sale and found us the buyer that was “meant to be.”

My career in Marine Patrol provided me with many years of enjoyment on the water. When it was time to purchase my personal vessel, we (Peter and I) subsequently had a great time finding the vessel that suited me. We saw a bunch of listings and worked with a strategy and a plan to secure what was best. Peter returned all my calls, was always present and accounted for through the survey and closing. Peter helped me bring the boat home and dock her for the initial time. From beginning discussions of ownership to securing the lines when home, Peter Kurki was an asset. Knowledgeable on boats and procedures and yachting culture, I felt comfortable with all his work completed. Peter is awesome, and I’m confident people don’t know how much heart he puts into making his clients happy!

You have been a pleasure to work with and look forward to a long & lasting friendship. You are a real credit to the company!

Hello and thank you again (Bill) for your kind service and attention in my last visit to Miami. You have been more than a broker; you are considered part of our family for all your help to find all the equipment necessary for our boat we bought from you last October. Always know you have a house here in Ecuador and a family.

~Santiago L.

Just a note to express my appreciation (to Bill) for all the hard work and time you devoted to my search for the “right” 53’ Hatteras. Most brokers would have given up not making a quick sale and large commission, however you were diligent in the search for the right boat and overturned every possibility.

~Jim L.

His tenacious pursuit to keep all parties on an even keel and help introduce logic and sanity, his ability to communicate with the various representatives. Bill’s understanding of the problems, his willingness to intervene on my behalf, sensitivity to the pros and cons of our discussions and his ability to follow through on details became the critical adhesive to keep everything together.

Bill understood that I was investigating and that I had to ascertain what I wanted in a vessel and that I had to feel comfortable in the purchase.

~Mark R.

Bill takes the time to listen – to stay in touch – to follow up – and to keep every ball in the air Truly remarkable in his ability to respond to the little things – a great asset to your organization – and, although I imagine that I’m not the first person to share this with you, I think he’s exceptional.

~Guy C.

Bill: It was a pleasure buying our boat from you. Thanks for the “Rock Star Treatment!”

~Donald & Lee G.

Bill Shewbridge is the finest sales/customer service professional I’ve encountered in my lifetime. If I were to ever purchase another boat, it would only be through Bill at Allied Marine.
