“Hi Skip,

I want to thank you for the great job you did getting my much beloved old woodie GRAND CRU transitioned to a new owner. I have known John Baier since I bought the boat in 1999, so when it became time to sell I headed first to Oceanic, knowing that an old woodie, even one in the great shape this one was in, would be a difficult sale in todays market.. As you know we met through a mutual friend, another GB owner, so when I was ready I called you. You simplified a many faceted procedure and made it seem a lot easier than it really is. You put together a great listing for the internet complete with loads of pictures that showed off the boat to maximum effect. You even indulged me when I requested a higher asking price than you and Oceanic suggested. After a month with no action I had you reduce the price to a bit below your original suggestion, and the buyer interest appeared. The sale was actually closed while you were out of town and John Baier guided me through that critical period. I especially appreciated his experience based, thoughtful suggestions and recommendations.

Thanks to you and the whole Oceanic team.”

“We put our 1982 Grand Banks 42’ Classic for sale with Oceanic Yacht Sales in Sausalito in May of 2014. Skip Johnson was our salesman at Oceanic Yacht Sales. John Baier and Skip helped us determine an appropriate price that would make our Grand Banks attractive to buyers. Skip showed our boat at the dock of our home in Paradise Cay, Tiburon, which was very convenient for us. We were able to go on some cruises during the summer and Skip would show our boat after we returned to our dock. Skip was always prompt returning our calls and answering our questions. We got an offer on September 9, 2014 and after the sea trial, engine survey and haul out we signed the bill of sale on October 7. We received our check on October 9. The whole process was very easy and we give Oceanic Yacht Sales and Skip Johnson the highest recommendation. Skip became much more of a friend than just a salesman and brought his awesome dog Friday to visit us during some of the surveys on the boat which is docked at our home. Skip always went the extra mile and made the sale of our Grand Banks a very pleasant experience. We were amazed that our Grand Banks sold so quickly and glad we chose Oceanic Yacht Sales for the sale of our Grand Banks.”

“As novice power boat buyers, we met Skip Johnson when viewing one of his listings and we never looked back. We did not purchase that listing but were soon in contract to buy another. Skip listened well to our needs and guided us in the right direction without pressure. After closing, he has continued to provide a wealth of information and assistance. We highly recommend Skip to all buyers and sellers.”

“Hi Skip,

Just wanted to write a note to thank you for your help in the sale of my boat. You were very prompt in getting the boat on the market and kept me informed in terms of what steps you were taking to get as much exposure as possible. You were very sympathetic concerning the setting of the asking price for the boat. Once a buyer was found, the negotiations were handled professionally and an agreeable selling price was accepted. I also appreciate your after sale assistance in settling the odds and ends related to the buyers requests.”

Thanks again. -Dan and Sandie Alex”
