Buying or selling a boat or yacht can be stressful and exciting at the same time. I was fortunate to have John Kuony at my side before, during and after engaging in that process, and could not recommend anyone better. I first met John in 2010 while gazing at a 42’ Jeanneau DS from over the railing at Jack London Square. Although the boat show had not yet opened for the day, John invited me down to take a look. John knows his yachts and he made it his goal to learn as much about my needs before guiding me toward the perfect yacht. What I gained through my initial meeting with John was not only a great purchasing experience, expert yacht consultant and continuing resource, but more importantly, a life long friend.

My hat is off to Mr. John Kuony and all the good folks at Cruising Yachts. In particular Mr. Kuony is the "professional's professional", not only having vast knowledge in regard to all aspects of boats, he demonstrated extraordinary patience as I became interested in a variety of boats over a course of almost half a year. Never pushy and always understanding, I was pleased and even comforted to have him on top of every aspect of the boat buying process. Clearly John and the Cruising Yachts family have set the standard for brokerage yachts and I look forward to having John represent my boating needs for years and decades to come.
