G.P Tauranga

Many thanks for the level of service provided by your firm in the purchase of our yacht. In particular we found it helpful that you provided a comprehensive range of services from specialist surveys to valuation and insurance. This made the whole process very easy for us from Christchurch. Add to this the accommodation, restaurant and marine facilities all on site and the whole experience was stress free and pleasant. I would particularly like to make mention of Brett Eaton who could not have been more helpful to us and did everything he could to accommodate our requirements and get us underway. It was a pleasure doing business with Tauranga Boat Sales.

G.M & L.R Tauranga

Being a purchaser from out of town, it was not going to be easy to set up a haulout, inspection and sea trial in the 5 hours I had available in Tauranga. But Brian managed it! and it all flowed well without a hitch. Thanks

I can not remember recieving help on a purchase like we have from Brian and Claude ever. Our first yacht, what has to be for them a lower end sale and yet they have patiently spent time helping us with advice and training to ensure that our entry into yachting ia a pleasant experience. They are passionate about boats, highly competant, listened to where we are at and have made our entrance into yachting a great pleasure. Brian and Claude - Thank you so much for your help.

D & A M, Matamata

Very happy with the service and would have no hesitation in coming back to you. Thanks.

R B, Tauranga

The friendly and professional team at Tauranga Boat Sales made selling our yacht a smooth process. As out of town vendors, being ableto confidently leave the yacht for them to move when necessary made for a hassle free sales process. Thanks guys

Hi Brett

Thank you for your service in selling my boat.All matters were handled very professionally and I especially appreciated the use and effectiveness of your sales berth.

Bob Batchelor, Te Puke

The Staff at Tauranga Boat sales are fantastic. They are hard working, they find out what you are after and try there hardest to sell you the boat you want. If there are issues they go the extra mile to make sure there is a satisfactory out come. I have found in my dealings that they have a high degree of integrity and sincerity. The customer comes first with them. I fully recommended them if you are buying or selling a boat. After sales serviced has been exceptional, Brian truly went the extra mile to resolve a problem we had. The whole experience dealing with Tauranga boat sales has been highly satisfactory.

Sue and I were most fortunate making contact with Brian Kent when we were looking to purchase our Launch, this was a totally new area of boating for us. Brian was more focused on our boating needs even before showing us any vessels, giving us the positives and negatives as he saw it. Right from our first visit Brian was very informative and always waited for us to make contact with him, rather than he chasing us. We were given plenty of options so we could decide what was best for us. This continued until the processes had to happen in an order which he explained extremely fully. His support was fantastic both before and after and during the purchase, with knowledge, support and information. We consider him a boating friend rather than a boat sales broker. After our purchase Brian organised some on the water tuition to aid our transition into the world of Launches, this was most beneficial. Even now he is most supportive and helpful with any queries we may have.

We are most appreciative of your support and friendship, thank you Brian.

Warren and Sue, Hamilton

I would like to thank you for the great service in our recent purchase of the Four Winns Cruiser. I appreciated the continuous effort and communication made by Tauranga Boat Sales staff to bring this purchase to a conclusion that suited both parties. I was impressed with the quick response times to emails and phone messages, something rare to see these days, and it was good to see the vendor was happy with the end result as well.

I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to others and look forward to being in touch in the future.

Chris, Wellington
