This is my 4th Sailboat purchase using Murray Yacht Sales. Michael James is one of the most knowledgeable Yacht Brokers in the business. He was always there when I had concerns, both large and small. I highly recommend him.

We had been trying to sell our Gemini 105MC for several months on our own and had been unsuccessful. I reached out to Michael James and Murray Yacht Sales and within two months their team had found a buyer.
Michael gave us great suggestions and pointed out specific things we could improve on the Gemini prior to posting it on their website.
After we received an offer Michael and his team took care of setting up the haul out, inspection, and subsequent closing. Everything went very smoothly with no problems.
I highly recommend Murray Yacht Sales and broker Michael James

I just had an amazing experience with Michael James and the team at Murray Yacht Sales! They were highly recommended, and they completely exceeded my expectations. Michael took the time to really understand what I was looking for, gave me personalized recommendations, and guided me through the process of buying my very first boat. I’m absolutely thrilled with the outcome!

My experience purchasing a new sailboat (Hunter 36′) was exceptional, thanks to the outstanding support of Michael James. From the start, Michael asked detailed questions to identify the perfect boat for me—not just in terms of price, but also considering my intended use, desired features, storage needs, and other specifics. He found the ideal boat and guided me through every step of the buying process, ensuring a smooth experience for a first-time buyer.

Michael was always available to answer my questions and offered timely, accurate insights on the boat, marina options, boatyards, insurance, and many other details. He was consistently kind, polite, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking to purchase a boat and seeking real expertise from a broker.

Murray Yacht Sales quickly found a buyer and made the sales process flow nicely. Appreciate the excellent experience.

Murray Yacht Sales fulfilled all my expectations on boat ownership. Michael and Stanton listened carefully to how I intended to use the boat and outfitted my Oceanis 35.1 perfectly! They recommended options I would of not considered, that have proven to be safer and more enjoyable under sail. The only equipment I have added in 7 years are solar panels that integrate into the bimini. When you are consulting with a manufacturer that has been around 140 years and a dealer that has been servicing the boating community for 50 years, there is a wealth of experience to draw from.

Our Broker Michael James of Murray Yacht Sales did a great job in helping us find our 40′ Hatteras Motor Yacht. His expertise in the whole sales process was outstanding. He guided us through the process and made the experience very rewarding. I would highly recommend Michael and Murray Yacht Sales to anyone looking to purchase power or sail.

MYS has now helped me buy three boats and sell two. Our most recent purchase went flawlessly. Their expertise and professionalism made the difference. I cannot endorse them higly enough.
