One of the most important things you can do to improve your trawler boating experience is to find a trained professional yacht broker you are comfortable with and engage that broker as your primary resource. It is very easy to fall into a trap and commit to a yacht broker too early. Take time upfront and do research about reputations and work ethic, negotiation skills and post purchase follow up, and you will quickly learn that your fellow boaters have very strong opinions about yacht brokers. There are hundreds of excellent, certified professional yacht brokers who are hard working. Not every broker is a “broker” and not every career veteran is a “professional,” so you need to do your homework and understand what your choices are. Remember, a certified professional yacht broker is a full time, commissioned salesperson who doesn't get paid until they close a deal. It's a very lucrative way to make a living, but there are definite cycles of activity.

His personal pursuit for delivering customer satisfaction has provided the values JMYS upholds. JMYS believes that quality, customer service and satisfaction depends on gaining product knowledge at sea, building long term relationships, and sharing knowledge with clients.
