Reviews from the buyers and sellers who have worked with our brokers, published as they wrote them.

  • Phil Moore and Ross Nasin were the dynamic duo helping me navigate through my boat purchase adventures. Their responsiveness and knowledge is second to none and helped me make the right decisions. I highly recommend the Moore Yacht Sales team to any mariner both green or seasoned.

  • I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jeff on the sale of my past two boats, and most recently on the purchase of my new Boston Whaler Conquest 345 — and I can say with full confidence that he is far more than just a broker; he’s a true partner throughout the entire process.

    From the beginning, he demonstrated the utmost professionalism, honesty, and market expertise. He connected me with the right buyers quickly and efficiently, and was instrumental in negotiating the purchase of my new vessel. He was always forthright about what was realistic and possible, which made decision-making clear and stress-free.

    What truly sets him apart, though, is how far he’s willing to go for his clients. Due to a personal family situation, I was unable to attend the survey for my new boat, which was located in Marina Del Rey, CA — not exactly down the street. Without hesitation, he stepped in and handled everything as if it were his own purchase. That level of dedication and trust is rare.

    When it comes time to buy or sell again, he will be the first person I call — no question.

  • Mike Thayer was excellent to deal with when we recently purchased our Grady White Marlin through him.

    Mike was thorough, courteous and professional. He worked with us every step of the way to move the process along at a pace that worked for us.

    We are very happy with the boat and very appreciative of Mike and the team at Moore Yacht Sales!

  • Couldn't be happier with Tyler's work in selling our boat. He was efficient, organized, and fully committed to the process. Highly recommend.

  • For first time boat buyers, the process of ensuring you are making an intelligent purchase can be daunting. Luckily we had the good fortune of meeting Jeff Jadul with Moore Yacht Sales. His many years of experience were invaluable and clearly evident. Jeff guided our family through the purchase process, negotiated a great price during a highly competitive boat buying season, made the process painless and most importantly fun.

    Beyond learning to actual pilot a new boat, there are several additional matters to consider when purchasing a boat such as surveys, sea trials, and transportation post acquisition. Jeff managed it all seamlessly. We are forever grateful for Jeff's service and highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy their first or tenth boat. We love our Boston Whaler 315 Conquest!

  • Jeff Jadul at Moore Yacht Sales is the best boat broker I have ever had the pleasure of working with. When it came time to get serious about selling my 51 foot boat, I knew I needed the right broker by my side, and I truly feel as though choosing Jeff to list my boat was the best move I could have made.

    He helped sell my boat for an amazing sales price, bringing in multiple offers well above my expectations. He is honest, trustworthy, hard working, and very knowledgable with handling the transaction from start to finish. Even following up post sale to make sure everything was handled properly. A true professional. Highly recommended.

  • I traveled from Long Island to buy a boat in Boston, and Jeff from Moore Yacht Sales couldn't have been more helpful. Some brokers refuse to start the engines, and are reluctant to demonstrate various systems, etc.

  • This spring, my wife and I decided to part ways with our 30 foot Boston Whaler conquest. We didn’t want to embark on the process of selling that boat by ourselves and decided to list with Moore yacht sales. We got connected with Mike Thayer through a mutual friend.

    Mike made this process unbelievably easy for us. Between listing, taking photos, sea trials and closing, I don’t think I needed to get my hands dirty once. I would highly recommend Mike and Moore Yacht Sales for any selling or purchasing options you may have. I know I will be again when we look for our next boat.

  • Mike was great to work with. He was extremely responsive and thorough in answering my questions. He also bent over backwards to make accommodations for a survey on a boat I was interested in buying. I highly recommend Mike and his team if you are looking to purchase a vessel.

  • Tyler at MYS was instrumental in securing the purchase of my Pursuit 328. The sale was from a private seller that threw a number of curveballs along the way. Tyler was right there through the whole process with comps, paperwork, contracts, etc. I can honestly say I would have lost the boat if not for Tyler.

    Post transaction, Tyler has been there as well. He has made an introduction for storage and been more than willing to help in anyway possible. He even offered to help this novice take the boat to storage in the off-season.

    Jay WilladsenPursuit 328
  • I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Jeff, Phil, Tyler, and Mike on multiple occasions, both as a buyer and a seller. They are truly exceptional professionals who consistently deliver top-notch service. Each of them brings extensive knowledge to the table and provides the kind of care and attention that makes the entire process smooth and stress-free. Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, you can trust them to go above and beyond to meet your needs.

  • I bought a used Boston Whaler 320 Outrage that was listed by Jeff at Moore Yacht Sales. He did a great job showing me the boat and walking me through the sales process. I never felt the need to secure a buyer's broker as he guided me through the process, and I never felt to be at a disadvantage. He even went above and beyond and found someone to fuel up the boat on the morning I picked it up to drive to back to Rhode Island through Buzzard's Bay. Lots of back and forth with the boat yard to coordinate a couple of repairs needed as part of the sale. He handled it all with a good attitude and willingness to help. I even met the owner on the first day when I saw the boat, and he was equally as professional and helpful. Thank you Moore Yacht Sales! I will definitely use you in the future if I need help buying up on my next boat!

  • Mike Thayer did an unbelievable job listing and negotiating the sale of my Center console. He was very knowledgeable, communicative and concise. They made a generally difficult process seem super easy. If you are looking to sell or buy a boat I would highly recommend reaching out to Mike to see how they can help you.

  • Jeff and the team at Moore Yacht Sales were exceptional. They made a very complex process easy to navigate. Naturally, with a lot of questions and the urge to sell our boat prior to the start of the season, we could have easily been overwhelmed, but Jeff made it happen. He was always responsive to our questions and was constantly updating us on the progress with various buyers. When it came to negotiations, Jeff was aggressive and advised on market conditions each step of the way - ensuring we were able to get maximum value. I highly recommend Jeff and the Moore Yacht Sales team.

    Scott Ludwig
  • Jeff Jadul and the team at Moore Yacht Sales are terrific. Jeff helped me purchase a boat during the pandemic when it was extremely difficult to find boats, and a very competitive market. He was super responsive, and moved very quickly to get a deal done, despite the fact that the boat was in Maryland and I was in Massachusetts. He also sold my old boat for near asking price. Both transactions were smooth and hassle-free, largely due to his expertise and guidance. I highly recommend him if you are looking to buy or sell a boat!

    Mike S
  • I was referred to Moore Yacht Sales by a friend who’s knows the boating industry very well. After working directly with Phil on the purchase of my new 39 Yellowfin, I understand why they are so highly regarded. Knowledgeable, responsive, professional and trustworthy. Not only did Phil help me with the purchase of the boat but he has been there for follow up questions even after the sale was complete. I would recommend Moore Yacht Sales to anyone who is in the market for a new boat.

    Andrew Wade39 Yellowfin
  • I worked with Tyler on the purchase of a 25 Regulator. His knowledge of the boat industry is unmatched. He is the consummate professional, was extremely enjoyable to work with, and provided assistance in getting my boat ready for the season well beyond it's purchase. I had an A+ experience working with Moore Yacht Sales and Tyler Noveletsky and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a boat.

    Matthew DiFrancesco25 Regulator
  • We recently worked with Captain Jeff Jadul @Moore Yacht sales as our buyer's broker, for the purchase of our second boat. In addition to his warmth, professionalism and clear, effective communication, Jeff brings to the table deep and impressive expertise from a lengthy career in the marine industry. He knows it well- boat sizes/classes, market trends, existing inventory, reputable dealers, etc. He is incredibly well-networked, connecting us with other experts (surveyors, mechanics, etc.) with whom he has strong professional relationships. Jeff went above and beyond the duties of a typical broker to assist in our purchase - he researched/troubleshot our survey fundings and made phone calls to the factory for possible solutions, all while respecting our priorities and budget, and constantly acting as a trusted advisor and advocate. We are happy to provide our strongest recommendation of Jeff Jadul @ Moore to anyone interested in purchasing a boat.

    Matthew LaMarche
  • My wife and I searched and interviewed many a buyer broker when we decided to buy a larger sportfish and settled on Phil at Moore Yacht Sales and I can say we definitely did not "settle" but rather received exceptional service, probably greater than we anticipated. Phil did a great job helping us narrow the features that were most important to us even if we didn't know what those were at first. We saw many boats from the Maine coast down through Florida and never felt rushed and even when we might settle Phil would say "well we will keep looking" and we are glad we did and felt we found the perfect boat for us in the end. I think the best endorsement I can give is that we have chosen Phil to now sell our boat and help us with the coming one.

    Norman Bessette
  • Jeff Jadul at Moore Yacht sales was able to sell our Pursuit 325 DC boat within 3 weeks of taking our listing. He was extremely professional, reliable, and communicated with us throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend him for someone looking to buy or sell a boat in the future as our experience was fantastic.

    Bobby MacDonaldPursuit 325 DC
  • Jeff was very easy to work with and helped along every step of selling our boat. His knowledge of boats and the industry helped the process go a smoothly as possible. I would recommend Moore Yacht Sales to anyone looking to buy or sell a boat.

    Morgan Johnson
  • My husband and I were offered a great deal on a larger boat this past Summer, a 'step up' so to speak. Of course we had to get our 1st boat sold as soon as possible. We tried a general broker online and nothing happened. Luckily, Jeff reached out to us via email. We spoke over the phone and set up our boat sale with Jeff. He took photo's, checked the boat over himself where we had it moored and before we knew the boat was proudly listed for sale on his various websites. Within a few weeks he had a buyer and before we knew, the boat sold! Thank you Jeff

    Carla Gordon
  • Phil at MYS was a great partner through my entire boat upgrade process. He helped me spec out my dream boat acting on my behalf as a buyers broker. He covered lots of details I would have never thought about and he was great in dealing with the local dealer and Viking. He also did a great job selling my precious boat.

    David Butler
  • Tyler is one of the most knowledgable brokers out there. Most importantly this is more than a transaction for him. He genuinely cares about not only finding you the best deal but finding the right boat for your needs. I bought my boat using Moore Yacht Sales 7 months ago and Tyler is still helping me out with things on my boat. Incredible service all around with one of the best people in the industry. I will use Moore Yacht Sales for all of my boating needs moving forward. I am a customer for life.

    Garrett Kanter
  • Very much enjoyed working with Phil. He was very patient when we were deciding whether or not to get back into boating, and helped us find other makes and models that were similar to the one we liked. As we started to look at boats in person, he was very responsive, candid in his assessments and respectful of any concerns we had. During the closing process he was there with us every step of the way and, even after purchase, Phil continues to be a great source of info! Would highly recommend Phil Moore!

    Michele Streton
  • Just recently purchased a 2015 Formula 45 Yacht from Jeff at Moore Yacht Sales. I feel he very ethically represented both sides of the transaction. Jeff was very responsive to phone calls, text messages, and emails. He has also gone above and beyond, even after closing on the boat, to help with coast guard documentation and the transfer of ownership. I would for sure use Jeff again. It was definitively a good experience!

    Todd McNair2015 Formula 45 Yacht
  • Great experience. They priced my boat fairly, helped ensure my boat was in sellable condition, and had a buyer in place within days. Was a smooth process, transaction went well and I received my payment promptly. I recommend Moore Yacht Sales and will use them again in the future.

  • Phil and his team at Moore Yacht Sales assisted me in purchasing a boat from an out of state seller and they were flawless in all aspects of the deal from negotiating the price, through due diligence to arranging delivery on Labor Day weekend. Phil was highly knowledgeable, thorough in all aspects of the transaction; and, he and his team were courteous, professional and responsive throughout the process. High marks across the board and thanks for a job well done!

  • Phil and the team at Moore Yacht sales made buying and selling a boat easy and stress free. Phil’s knowledge on center consoles and fishing really helped me find the right boat for what I do. Phil also assisted in getting my boat ready for sale. I highly recommend Moore Yacht sales there knowledge and service is top notch. 🎣

    David Pereira
  • In September 2021 I set out to purchase a new Viking in New England only to be told that due to COVID supply chain issues there would be a three year wait (if all went well). I was working with Tyler at Moore Yacht Sales who took me to see a private party boat that was not for sale. The day we were looking at the boat that was not for sale, Tyler got a message that the Viking model we were looking for with about 100 hours on it was just listed for sale in Ohio on Lake Erie. He got the boat under contract that afternoon, flew out the following week for a survey, and had it on a truck later that week to Rhode Island where he had arranged for indoor storage for the winter. Over the winter he arranged to have various upgrades taken care of and had the boat in the water the following spring. I can’t overstate just how important Tyler and Moore Yacht Sales was in my ability to get the boat I wanted during a period when there were none available. Just a class act all the way around and I could not recommend them more highly.

    Jay Hachigian
  • We purchased a boat through Phil and the process was easy and professional. We were about to list our boat with someone else and because of working with Phil on our purchase we decided to list our boat with Phil. It was a great decision. I highly recommend Phil and his team.

    Kristy Miller
  • Want to make a stressful experience of buying, selling or building a boat an enjoyable one? I have dealt with Phil for several years buying and selling a few of my boats. Most recently this past winter/ spring . The effort( during pandemic) was over the top and exceptional. The phone calls the showings the paperwork and all details were done so seamlessly and professional I would never search for another boat broker. Don't belive me, give them a call and see how quickly you feel like there #1 customer. 6 STARS!!!!

  • Tyler Noveletsky totally exceeded our expectations during our recent purchase of a 2020 Regulator 28. He is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about boats, yachts and fishing. He is very organized, an excellent communicator and takes great care of his clients. Tyler is a total pro, I highly recommend him and will be the first person I call whenever I'm back in the market for a new boat.

  • Phil helped me buy my boat in February 2021 in Baltimore! He was the best person I could have had to help me. He guided me easily through the process including the survey and sea trial. He has a wealth of knowledge as a licensed captain. If you need a boat he is the man!!

  • Have had the pleasure of working with Jeff Jadul at Moore Yacht Sales several times now. Great experience and tremendous service. Even travelled to Florida for me to sea-trial and then arranged for all of the transport service to get the boat home. No one better in my opinion.

    Michael O'Leary
  • Jeff Jadul is a true professional, knowledgeable in all aspects of the sale. Truly one of the best as he went above and beyond to coordinate our purchase as we travelled and was indispensible in arranging the shipment of the Regal to FL. We could not have done this sale without Jeff's expertise

  • Jeff Jadul made our boat buying experience absolutely exceptional! From the moment we started looking, he went above and beyond to help us find the perfect vessel. His knowledge and patience during the search process were outstanding.

    What truly sets Jeff apart is his commitment doesn't end at closing. He's continued to be an invaluable resource as we learn to operate our new boat, always available to answer questions and provide guidance. It's rare to find someone so dedicated to their clients' long-term satisfaction.

    If you're in the market for a boat, I can't recommend Jeff highly enough. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for his clients makes you feel comfortable in a experience that was completely foreign to us!
