Fun morning. Brett drove from Pensacola, with David’s help we did sea trail (rode great, but was a bit “sporty” at mouth of the port). After a year of research, Brett decided the Robalo Cayman Sky Deck is what he wanted, and this almost new boat fit the bill perfectly.
Thanks Russ for letting me help sell your boat and Tahnks Brett for your confidence in me. Big smiles of a new boat owner!
I would be proud to post YOUR photo with your new boat..call. Text or Pm and let’s talking about finding a “new to you” boat.

Pre Listing: 2018 Nor-Tech 340 Sport center console. Shaded by the lift canopy and river too shallow to get off the lift, we will try another day for more photos. The hull color is stunning, the gray powder coat sets off the color. Unusual for me to say “beautiful “, but this is without doubt one of the most beautiful center consoles I’ve seen.
Fast.. very fast. The steeped hull actually will run over 80mph! With trip 350 Mercs, cruise around 40 sipping just 1.8mpg. Full fish package with a livewell the size of a small swimming pool. Low $300’s and a customized trailer is available
Thanks David Brooks of the Bond Yacht Sales team for helping me today.

Pre Listing: 2023 Grady White Canyon 326. At just inches over 33’ (including the swim platforms) with a beam over 10’, this is a beast of an offshore fish catching machine. Cruise around 30mph burning 1.4-1.6mpg, a cost effective platform for the long runs to tuna town. (Electric outlets for deep dropping Tiles too).
Thanks Jonathan Bond for his help yesterday launching & loading on the 2023 triple axel AmeraTrail trailer as we did a photo shoot in preperation for listing for sale.
Call, text, pm or email for details or to schedule your private viewing.

New 12” mfd. Updated cushions. Trolling motor. The power pole just quit, but a brand new in the box can be installed for a bit more.. lots of fish landed on this excellent bay boat.

When you are visiting the British Virgin Islands, see these guys for a great time renting the 320DC World Cat. If you’ve been following the saga, I represented both the seller here in Fl and the buyers in the BVIs.
Jonathan Bond & I got it on its trailer, then it got wrapped, then to Ft Lauderdale..then it wouldn’t fit on the ship. So another trailer. Then upon arriving in the BVIs the government required additional paperwork.. yes, this week a couple trips to gather and trips to Fed X. (Yes, “after the sale service”, of course, taking care of our clients is what we do).
When you have a quality boat and would value a professional team to help you sell, please talk to me and the team

Whirlwind of a week - Sunday, just before the rains started Jonathan Bond helped as i drove this beautiful World Cat 32DC to the ramp and he towed to our office. Tuesday a crew from Miami arrived to gift wrap the boat for travel. And this morning transport team drove away, headed to the Crowley ship who will take her to her final destination in the British Virgin Islands.
If you have a nice boat and would like professional representation with an effective international marketing program to get your boat $old, give me a call.

I received this message today from a client been working with … made my day. A very complex deal and lots of last minute challanges (time zones, international rules, both buyers & sellers out of country).

“Good morning, John. I hope your day is going well. I just wanted to say thank you for all your assistance with our purchase of the Worldcat 32DC. I’ve been involved in several boat purchases in my time but this one was by far the most pleasant and you have been tremendously helpful. My sincere thanks for that - great job! It’s always tricky from a different country so the assistance is very much appreciated.

Regards,

Darrel”

So this is pretty cool. My first attempt to use AI to write an advertisement for a boat I represent for sale. i had written a somewhat wordy, rambling description - i guess because I have fished this boat many times, really good friend, i have an 'emotional' commitment.. So my ad was wordy and not all that effective. So here is the AI version of the ad. Let me know what you think.

Between the rains.. sea trial World Cat 320DC. Appreciate Jonathan Bond driving while I met with clients.
For Ryan, Susanna, Richie & Daryl (business partners) this is a long distance purchase. We have conducted a complete vessel survey, a thorough inspection of both engines and this week a sea trail. Still working to coordinate transportation as most likely this beautiful boat will be available for vacationers in the BVIs.
If you have a nice boat to sell, give me a call to discuss how marketing program attracts buyers from around the world. We can help you buy or sell a boat. Office in Port Canaveral, Florida
