I'm proud to say I'm a very happy customer of Global One Yacht Sales, for several reasons. Having embarked on the onerous task of looking for a used boat before the summer was out, I contacted them regarding a center console. I had located it on one of the popular boating websites out there, only to learn the boat was already under contract. However they quickly tipped me off to a 2009 Mako 234 CC that hadn't even hit the listings yet that was coming in on trade. The timeline for that boat didn't match up with my needs so I looked elsewhere.
Long story short, 3 other deals I was looking into fell through – one of which even after paying for motor and hull surveys. If you've ever looked into purchasing a boat online, you can appreciate the unscrupulous nature of the folks and deals you can bump into. So I came back to Global One and as luck would have it the Mako 234 was still for sale. In hindsight, this is like learning I was about to be a Proud Father all over again.
They described the Mako as being in fantastic shape and coming from an extremely meticulous owner. This, as it would turn out, could not have been more of an understatement. We ended up finalizing a deal in an incredibly efficient manner, seemingly hassle-free and I wound up purchasing the Mako sight unseen from 1500 miles away.
They handled the entire process including hull survey, motor survey and ultimately the transport from MS to CT, and the entire process could not have gone smoother. When the boat arrived in Connecticut, I was beyond ecstatic and their description couldn't have been more spot on. Not a day goes by where I don't get compliments on the boat, which makes owning the vessel even more sweet.
If you are looking to buy a boat, they should be your first (and last) call, they will be mine when I'm ready to move up for sure!
