“Rob, now that the dust has settled & we have sold our Jeaneau 29.2 and the money is in the bank  I wish to thank you for making it happen & coming up with a good outcome. Some two & a half years ago I decided to sell our yacht as we had purchased a new cruise boat & moved into an entirely different boating experience. I tried unsuccessfully for nearly 2 years to sell it myself & like many people with an emotional attachment, wasn’t able to convince anyone of its value. When I placed the boat with you we immediately had interest & opportunities to sell it. Sometimes it hard to accept that the commission paid to someone else is justified but the reality is that you had the right connection we sold the boat & the net price was fair & reasonable. You worked very hard to make it happen & did everything you said you would do.”

“Rob Robinson was professional and a pleasure to work with in selling my boat. I had my boat listed with another dealer for 14 and a half months with very little interest. After listing it with 38 South Boat Sales my boat was sold in less than two months. Rob’s extensive network, large number of associated websites for advertising and professional approach to selling my boat makes him the ‘go to man’ for selling a boat in Adelaide.”

“Hello Rob… I know that you are first and foremost linked to the seller, however you provided assistance to me  that was invaluable to someone purchasing a boat from interstate. Your suggestions for inspection personnel, repairer, hardstand facilities and boat loading to truck locations was excellent. This all made for a fairly stress free time. I would be happy to endorse this recommendation if you so desire. Thank you once again for your professionalism and courtesy.”

“Thank you Rob for your courteous attention and professional advice. A pleasure dealing with you.”

“I am ‘tickled pink’ with the new boat. The first time I saw it unwrapped I was almost overwhelmed with its beautiful lines and fine fit out. As I said to Rob at the time, I thought I had died and gone to heaven such was the ecstatic state I was in! It is all very exciting.”

“Thanks a lot for your efforts Jason. The detailing was excellent, as was the quick sale. Very impressed!”

“Hi Chris, Thank you for all your efforts in the sale of Trim the Ohlson 35 yawl.

The time and effort you put into showing potential clients the yacht more than justifies the commission paid on the sale.

Making the sale was very pleasing but more importantly securing the right custodian for the boat was a stroke of brilliance.”

“Great support from Rohan, Chris and the team. Really helped us get used to our new a Jeanneau 349 and make the most of it in the bay.”

“Just wanted to say thanks to the team at 38 South for helping us get into sailing with our new Sun Odyssey 349. From planning, through delivery and commissioning, helping us on the water and for all of the little extras since then … the advice and support, especially from Rohan and Jordan has been fantastic and is very much appreciated.”

“I met Rohan while in the process of buying my boat. Rohan demontrated a vast knowledge of sailing and he provided key information to me in the process. Rohan’s attitude was and still is very professional, friendly and extremely helpful to me.”

“During negotiations and since, Rohan has displayed professionalism and an after sales relationship that could not be faulted, always helpful and ready to give practical, hands on advice above and beyond expectations.”

“Hi Chris, I wanted to personally thank you for the very high standard of service and advice you provided to us throughout this process. We were inexperienced in the boat buying business and you helped overcome our ignorance. The quality of your work could not be faulted. You brought back the old fashioned concept of ‘integrity’ to the sales process.”

“We spent many months searching for a boat to buy. We viewed quite a few boats in Victoria and made many enquiries interstate. To our surprise it was very hard to get a return phone call from many boat brokers. We found a boat in Melbourne that we liked, the broker appeared very honest with us from the very start-there was no hard sell, just honest boat talk. The broker was very knowledgeable about the boat and also about charter boat rules as the boat we were interested in had been a charter boat a few years previously. All in all the broker was very honest with us throughout the whole process and nothing was really too much trouble for him. We are very happy with our boat and have recommended this broker to many of our friends-mostly people who were selling boats. The broker was Rohan Veal and we would recommend him to anyone considering buying or selling a boat. A fair broker-whether buying or selling I don’t really think you can go wrong.”

“We made initial contact with Chris earlier this year whilst looking for our next suitable yacht. After much consideration, looking at designs and confirming our criteria we came to a point where Chris offered us the next step. His considered and measured opinion confirmed our final choice. It was reassuring to have a person listen, respond and act in an ethical way to suit all involved with our purchase. The ‘extra yard’ springs to mind with making things happen and we look forward to involving Chris in our next purchase. We would consider Chris a friend and will at some point enjoy a sail and a few cold ones together. Sincere thanks for the great service.”

“We have bought and sold two boats using Rohan as a broker. Rohan’s expertise in the boating market place is second to none, he has a professional approach to all aspects of both a purchase and sales, giving us a realistic appraisal in the current marketplace. He kept us informed on a weekly basis during a sale and is prepared to go that extra bit when looking for a vessel. We would not hesitate in recommending his services to anyone who is looking for, or is selling. When it comes time to sell our current yacht, we would not hesitate in using his services once more.”

“Hi Chris. I just wanted to say that I was totally impressed with your services and the way you carry out your business. I have no hesitations recommending you to anyone who wishes to list or purchase a vessel from you. Thank you for keeping me up to date with everything and making the purchase seamless.”
