We are writing to commend one of your brokers. We have worked with Don Kohlman in the purchase of two Nordhavns and the sale of one. In all of our sales and purchases of houses, boats and cars, we have never encountered a salesman with as much professionalism, thoughtfulness and creativity to close a sale.… Read more “Dear Dan, Jim and Jeff,”

Please allow me this opportunity to congratulate you on having Mr. Devin Zwick as part of your enterprise! What
an ambassador he is for you. Mr. Zwick was immensely instrumental in making our retirement dream of living on a Nordhavn 55” come to life.
Though technically he represented the seller, we felt as… Read more “Dear Nordhavn Friends:”

Dear Mr Streech, After several years of thinking and looking at what is available my wife Zubi and I bought a Nordhavn N4701. It was a difficult transaction and the seller had left the boat in Florida and gone to England. During this difficult time of discussions, deal making etc , two of your brokers… Read more “I wanted to say thank you to you for having such good people in you company as we personally could not thanked them enough.”

Linda and I just bought a house in Tucson and we were talking about the last year, selling Discovery, moving to a rental house and then buying and moving into a beautiful house in Tucson. What a year it’s been. We occasionally look at the Nordhavn brokerage site to monitor the 46’s for sale and… Read more “thank you once again”

A”A440″ departed in the wee small hours of the morning for our Alaskan adventure. Rich and I can’t thank you and everyone else at Nordhavn for the great care that was given to us the past several months. It’s been a pleasure being in Dana Point thanks to everyone at Nordhavn. Everyone’s efforts and friendliness… Read more “It’s been a pleasure being in Dana Point thanks to everyone at Nordhavn”

I wanted to share with you our wonderful experience working with Larry Gieselman as our Nordhavn sales agent. We decided to list our 43 Nordhavn with PAE after listening to Larry’s explanation of all the benefits of listing with them. There were other avenues we considered as well but finally decided on Larry and PAE.… Read more “knowledge of the business”

Our Nordhavn Purchase – How It’s Supposed to Work Yesterday was a great day and saw the delivery of our new N40. Having decided a couple of months ago to ‘move to the dark side’ and leave a lifetime of sailing for the comfort and utility of a passagemaking trawler, we met with Ted Robie… Read more “How It’s Supposed to Work”

Just wanted to introduce myself. I’ve been watching the messages for awhile now and wanted to post but have been a little tentative. This group seems very welcoming to new people which is great. That isn’t always the case on some message boards. Well, I live in Surprise, AZ and have been dreaming about being… Read more “My experience at the boat show was outstanding”

I wanted to write and praise the professionalism of Larry Geiselman in his role as PAE broker. I put my boat on the market less than 6 months ago, and despite the fact that  Larry was in the USA, I was in the UK, the boat was in New Zealand and the buyer was in… Read more “I wanted to write and praise the professionalism of Larry Geiselman in his role as PAE broker”

Well… it finally happened, I bought a boat. Nordhavn 50-20 “CONTINUOUS ” has now a new proud 3rd owner. My name is David Mayer. We recently wrapped up a great delivery from Fajardo, Puerto Rico to St. Petersburg, FL arriving at first light Good Friday (4/6/12). I would first like to thank Doug Danielson (2nd… Read more “Well… it finally happened, I bought a boat”

Do these two seemingly incongruous words go together? I think they do. Years ago, when all you had was the phonebook, all the businesses wanted to be first. AAA Plumbing was always top of the list. Now we have Google, Bing, Yahoo and Safari. The new technology is great but you have to buy a… Read more “I can’t say enough great things about Devin”

Dear Sirs, I am sending you this letter to let you know how much I have appreciated the services of Andy Hegley and my whole buying experience with him. He has gone above and beyond his role in the process, helping me out at every step of the way. I would highly recommend him to… Read more “Dear Sirs”

Having never purchased a boat in the States before, I was a bit apprehensive about the procedures and what we would have to do. I called the Rhode Island office and spoke to Ben Sprague, who very quickly assured me that he could act in our best interest and that he could guide us through… Read more “Hi there”

We are newbies to Nordhavn having purchased our N40 in February 2010. We were at Dana Point on vacation (we live in Florida) and we met Larry Gieselman. When he learned what we wanted and what our financial status was he put us in a gorgeous 2002 Nordhavn 40. We could not be happier and… Read more “We could not be happier and we highly recommend Larry.”

We wanted to let you all know that we visited the West Palm Beach Boat Show at the end of March and visited your yacht.   We were warmly welcomed aboardby one of your crew, Captain Paul Hutton.  He was a fabulous spokesman for your company and for your yachts.  First and foremost, he made us… Read more “Hello: We wanted to let you all know that we visited the West Palm Beach Boat Show at the end of March and visited your yacht.”

Hi Dan, I never thought it would come to this, but I finally have a bone to pick with PAE. Here I am in sunny, hot, relaxing La Paz and dealing with a few issues on the boat. So I email Dave Harlow in the late morning, my time. I then hear he is in… Read more “I never thought it would come to this, but I finally have a bone to pick with PAE”

Hi Larry, You did an outstanding job of representing Nordhavn and me in our transaction. You are: fair, knowledgeable, a very calm person, easy to work with, unflappable. You did a great job of communication with the team. From the guys who directed the boat, Mike to the guys who helped deliver the boat, Glenn.… Read more “You did an outstanding job of representing Nordhavn and me in our transaction”

Unless a broker is with Nordhavn, he won’t have the knowledge necessary to give a new owner the proper training these kinds of boats require. This is also very important for the seller. Nordhavn Brokers can articulate how these boats are built in terms of engineering and construction as well as the quality of the… Read more “Nordhavn Brokers can articulate how these boats are built in terms of engineering and construction”

I can whole heartedly recommend Larry as well. He is a super no pressure salesman. Unbounded enthusiasm. Harris

Just thought I might echo Jay’s comments. I am in a smilar situation to him and recently went to the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show. While there I met Peter Devers from the Australasin PAE office. He was more than happy to show us through the boat and discus ideas I had for a layout that… Read more “Hi all”

Hi Dan, As we finished our first year on the boat, putting on over 8300 nm and 1100 hours, I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the boat and the team at PAE. The boat is wonderful and was the talk of the Cubar Rally with more tours than I… Read more “I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the boat and the team at PAE.”

After looking at several other yachts, the timing, my personal needs and my expectation of quality led me to Nordhavn and broker Dave Balfour. If it wasn’t for Dave Balfour’s expert guidance through the sale and comprehensive knowledge of the boat, the sale would have never happened. Since my family and I will be splitting… Read more “Quality led me to Nordhavn and broker Dave Balfour”
