Southern Straits Yacht Sales Ltd.

The customer service that these guys give is world class!!!! We have been looking for 10 months for a vessel and Ken plus his team were always there for us. The endless hours that he spent educating us (we are totally new to this process of owning a boat), looking, curating what we liked, answering endless questions, going to far locations to preview vessels, helping us find what was best for us and then some!I can honestly say that they have been the most amazing honest company to deal with (which is a rarity in the boat world). You will not be disappointed with how wonderfully helpful, honest, trustworthy they are. Ken and his team go above and beyond. Their experience in the industry is a massive asset to all.Thank you for making our dream come true Ken. You and your company are more than a 5 star company. Looking forward to our new adventures in our vessel and future business with you by our side!

Dan was awesome. Not only that he is goes beyond of what you expect from a good, dedicated Yacht Sales be but way above. We were totally new to boating and he took care of us as like a father would. Even before we bought the boat he was very open about the industry , what to expect and shared multiple of his contacts. Now, 6 months later every time I have a question Dan is to the rescue. Time is valuable and he definitely proves every time that the relationship does not end at the sale it actually just begins. Dan anything you need.., if we ever can be at your service we are here.!

My family has just purchased our first boat from Ken. I cannot begin to describe the level of service and support we've received over the past few months, through all of the highs and lows of our buying journey. Ken has always been quick to respond, and always ensured that he was looking out for our best interest. I highly recommend Ken and the team at SSYS, and look forward to doing more business with them in the future.

New to boating, Southern Straits will steer you in the right direction! My husband and I bought our 31 Formula last fall through Ken Stewart who assisted us every step of the way!!! The weather is prime for boating now and we are ready for the season after a long winter of anticipation! If it wasn’t for Ken helping us out every step of the way with our many questions and concerns, we would have been lost. Ken went above and beyond the call of duty helping us out putting our minds at ease! Ken travelled to Vancouver Island a few times checking out our boat for us, FaceTiming when we couldn’t be there, he was there for inspections, always ready to answer any questions that we had in a timely manner. Ken is even a great Captain, he assisted us from Sydney BC to Vancouver and even came out a week later to give us some much needed lessons on our boat! Summer or winter, spring or fall, Ken will be there for you!!! My husband and I would like to thank Ken Stewart and SSYS for their knowledge and expertise in marine and yachting!!! A wonderful experience that we will have for the rest of our lives! Ken will make things happen!!! Give him a call today, he has a wealth of expertise and knowledge to share! Thank you!Keith & Lyndell ShefferPort Moody BC

We worked with our own broker on purchasing our 381 Meridian that was listed by John Zhang. John was great to deal with on the other end and we couldn’t be more impressed with his level of service, commitment and care throughout the process. He went well above and beyond every aspect of the transaction which has left a lasting impression. Please know that if you are dealing with John in any manor that you are in great hands.

To whom it may concern, I recently spent a day travelling from Courtenay via ferry to New Westminster and back to view a 1970 57 ft Chris Craft Constellation. The vessel was listed as a beautiful yacht" in "excellent condition" which was previously the poster yacht for Chris Craft sales brochures. The listing had 90 photos of a gorgeous yacht. The broker was Dan Greenwood. After reading all the good comments on the website I decided to check this boat out. I am not sure who wrote the ad but it is a total fabrication. The vessel is filthy dirty and smells of mold and mildew. There are signs of water ingress throughout the boat. Doors

These guys were great! got a good price. they trusted me on my word coming from nanaimo and held the trailer for me. helped me hook up . gave me a ride to insurance company so i didn't have to drive truck and trailer in city traffic. gave me good advice . didn't try to pull wool over my eyes . especially john deal with him safely any time TY:)

We have been dealing with Dan Greenwood over the years at Southern Straights Yachts regarding the purchase and sale of several power boats we have owned, and found Dan to be both knowledgeable and professional every step of the way. He is upfront, fair, honest, and keen to insure each purchase and sale goes smoothly in every case. Both my wife and I have been boating over 47 years and experienced many brokers along the way. Dan at Southern Straights has been our go to broker ever since we first met in 2014. In every instance in our search for the perfect boat, Dan has been thorough in setting out the details of each boat we looked at enabling us to make an informed purchase each and every time.

We’d like to thank you for all the work you did to find a buyer for the LeilaMerle. There was certainly a lot of ‘running around’ for you to get the job done. The fact that the buyer was from the USA and could not ( for his own personal reasons) come to Canada made the sale more complicated but you carried it out flawlessly.

Excellent Service. I sold a boat and bought a boat with Ken Stewart and I highly recommend SSYS' services. Ken used contacts beyond online listings and other brokerages to get what I wanted. Very responsive contact and communication; and Ken listened well and respected what I wanted; and I think I was not an easy client. His knowledge of and relationships with the boat/yacht business and marine support services were very helpful.
