Testimonial

"My husband and I would like to say what a marvelous job our broker, Brian Nopper, did in handling the sale of our boat. We had worked with Brian a few years ago when we bought our first boat and he helped us tremendously as first-time buyers. Several years later, when it was time to for us to sell, we of course reached out to Brian at HMY to handle the sale for us. Brian is a very seasoned yacht broker who has a keen understanding of the market, is very patient and methodical in his approach, and is just so easy to work with. Additionally, Brian’s communication was just phenomenal. He always kept us in the loop when the boat was going to be shown and he provided us with valuable feedback after potential buyers had toured our boat. It gave us the opportunity to make improvements that enabled us to find the right buyer. Whether you are buying or selling, Brian Nopper is the yacht broker you need to call! Thanks again for all of your help, Brian. We really appreciate it!"
