Fay helped my wife and I buy our dream sailboat. She was extremely professional and made the process very easy. I would highly recommend her to represent any buyer looking to purchase a boat, or a seller interested in getting representation. When we eventually step up to the next sailboat, she will be our first call!

I had the pleasure of working with Joe DeFusco as our boat broker for the purchase of our Bayliner yacht, and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional professional in his field. Joe’s knowledge and expertise in the boating industry were evident from the very beginning. He guided us through the entire process with great attention to detail and made sure that our needs and preferences were met.

Throughout the entire purchase process, Joe was incredibly responsive and always available to address any concerns or questions we had. His professionalism, integrity, and open communication made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.

Thanks to Joe’s in-depth knowledge of the market and his exceptional negotiation skills, we were able to secure a fantastic deal on our Bayliner yacht. We couldn’t be happier with our purchase, and we owe it all to Joe’s expertise and dedication.

If you’re looking for a boat broker who goes above and beyond to ensure client satisfaction, I highly recommend Joe DeFusco. His passion for boating, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to his clients make him an outstanding choice. Working with Joe was an absolute pleasure, and I would not hesitate to enlist his services again in the future.

Our broker Bud Mueller spent almost an entire year helping us fix and sell our 2013 Jeanneau 41DS sailboat. We were out of state, and he helped us with everything, including post Ian recovery and yard and contractor coordination. He was diligent, patient and honest, and extremely helpful and responsive. I would highly recommend Bud as a boat broker.

Fay Leuzzi was our broker out of Punta Gorda. She was fantastic to work with and a real go getter in helping get our boat sold. She was in constant contact with us and provided regular updates. Her excellent communication was appreciated. She is a fair and honest person, maintaining professionalism and dignity, being fair with both the seller and buyer. This is how business should be conducted, but hard to find these days. We have bought and sold boats and homes through the years, and this was by far the best experience. She is of the highest integrity. We highly recommend Fay!
