Specialty Yachts

Lawrence went above and beyond! In the course of buying our 27' Hunter, a few issues arose. Not only did Specialty Yachts promptly rectify them, they did so at their cost and more than satisfactorily so that our vessel was in better shape than before our sea trial. Lawrence spent considerable time answering our questions, going over the boat and lining up service providers for us.All around superb service and a very positive buying experience. When we are in the market for a new boat, we will most certainly turn to Specialty Yachts!

Bought two boats from Specialty Yachts. Could not be happier with my Hunters and the service provided by SY team. Really amazing customer care.

Lawrence is an outstanding professional. I was always satisfied with the sailboat he sold me and the after sales service. I highly recommend Specialty Yacht Sales. Stéphane B.

We just bought a 30-foot sailboat, a 2002 Hunter 306, from Specialty Yachts, and Darren was the agent we had worked with. From the first contact to date, even after weeks after acquiring our new boat, Darren has been so helpful in many ways. He educated us about our new vessel, including what we should be watchful for. He lined up for a mechanical inspector and a surveyor. He helped us to get a dodger and a bimini put on and he was there at 7am in the morning on the day I sailed her away to our slip in Blaine. Darren is extremely knowledgeable about the boats, the surrounding cruising areas, and boat mechanics, but the most importantly, he is very willing to provide the best experience he can acquiring a boat, this was the real value for us. After working with him through this transaction, we will not sell or buy another boat without involving Darren at Specialty Yachts !!!

Seamew, my new(ish) 1989 Hunter 30 from Specialty Yachts is the realization of a life long dream to own a sailboat. Through the process of defining what was realistic, lots of research, and walking through many variations of sailboats the Hunter stood out by far. I can honestly say my broker, Darren Marriott, went beyond any expectations in making the purchase stress free and focused on the end goal, sailing away every weekend to discover the coast anew. Through the offer, mechanical, sea trial, survey and final purchase this 30 year old boat is going to be loved, even with a few inevitable issues to work on over the next few months. Darren helped with everything from getting insurance, temporary moorage, picking the boat up for it’s inaugural sail, organizing a haul out for repairs etc. He remained positive, communicative and optimistic through the entire process, helping to keep everything in perspective, while offering lots of suggestions and alternatives. This will always be my first boat, but likely not the last. I would highly recommend Darren and Specialty Yachts.

Industry knowledge, fairness & service are the words that first come to mind. Lawrence, Darren, Amy & team have built a business and maintain a reputation second to none. I have owned four Hunters sailboats over the past 25 years and our most recent purchase was exceptional. Thanks to everyone at Specialty Yachts.

Thank you Lawrence, Amy and Darren who's experience and knowledge enabled me to purchase my dream retirement boat. Lawrence and his staff had been showing me Hunter silboats for years when I would pop by Granville Island.Finally when I decided to look for the" new boat

Lawrence and team are world class service professionals that also help people sell and purchase boats - he's unlike any broker I have worked with and will be the sole person I work with well into the future.

My wife and I just bought our first sailboat through Specialty Yachts. Darren took us through their sales process, showed us their inventory and although we were nervous and many questions, he was very patient with us. He was very knowledgeable about the vessels and his enthusiasm made the whole process a pleasure. I definitely would purchase another vessel again from Specialty Yachts. Thanks Team for helping make our dream come true. Brandi and Tyler.

Having done multiple transactions with Specialty Yachts, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend them for your purchase, sale or service. Their experience and expertise were a great asset with our latest purchase. My family and myself would like to thank Lawrence and the entire team at Specialty Yachts for making our west coast (and beyond) dreams come true.
