Testimonials

I was referred to Chris Carney of NorthStar Yacht sales when time came to sell my Jeanneau 34.2. The vessel being registered in Canada, Chris began his work by recommending the right people to look after the US custom issues. Throughout the selling process, he remained focused, dedicated, easy to reach and always pleasant to speak to. He also stored some electronic equipment at his office and kept an eye on the vessel by paying regular visits to the boatyard. After finding a good buyer, and with the border being closed (COVID19), Chris handled everything on my behalf, making sure the new owner was satisfied, being present for the survey, taking charge of the paperwork, the cross-border transfer of funds and more. Impressive work. Thank you very much Chris.

I just found the “perfect” boat. How does that happen? It starts with the right broker, Craig Nann at Northstar Yachts. We worked closely together to make the tradeoffs always facing a boat buyer. Faith is my third boat, so I had a good idea what I wanted, just needed (a lot of), help finding it. Craig and I worked together and found a great fit, and were able to get a deal done. After the transaction, I’m also using Northstar’s service coordination capability and have been very pleased with that too. If you’re looking for a turnkey partner for your boating needs, I’d recommend Craig, and Northstar Yachts.

Craig Nann was our broker and I cant express enough the over the top customer service he provided. Craig kept us in the loop of progress and guided us through the process above and beyond what I would have expected. We will surely be going back to Craig for our next yachting adventure! I would 100% recommend Crag Nann and the NorthStar team to any one of my friends in the in the market to purchase or sell.

Craig was a huge help when we bought Nemetona (a 2003 Beneteau Oceanis 473). I’ve got years of experience sailing boats in the 30′ range, but this was a big step up for us. Craig was well-informed and helpful throughout the process, and also went above and beyond standard “sales”, e.g. providing timely guidance on backing her into a tight slip w/ a breeze on the beam. I’m completely comfortable at the helm now, but Craig was instrumental.

I am proud to have the privilege to recommend NorthStar Yacht Sales as a highly professional and experienced broker, upon purchase of my 2018 Dufour 360 at the Annapolis Boat Show in the fall of 2017, Craig Nann offered to assist in the sale of my PDQ Catamaran, the process was seamless and found the closing on my existing vessel and the closing on the new Dufour 360 to be less than a week apart, he diligently walked the paperwork and all the inspections through step by step. He took my many phone calls and explained each concern and question I had with dignity and professionalism. one thing that I have been made aware of is that not many people take the time to visit the factory and see the build of an individual boat, I wanted that experience so I had an intimate knowledge of each component going into my new vessel, he arranged every detail and could not be happier with the outcome, the factory is one of a kind and highly recommend that. I have come to call Craig a close friend through the process and would and have recommended him and his firm to many others. He has accepted my offer to race with us this year and with all good luck and fair winds will have a Dufour on the podium of the Block Island Race Week, thank you again for all you have done.

Sincerely, Chester
