May I introduce, Mr. Sean Fawcett, who recently represented me as the buyer of an American Tug. After reviewing Mr. Fawcett’s qualifications and his vast experience in the field of yachting, I knew I could trust his recommendations and advice. As I was a first time buyer of a larger boat, Mr. Fawcett enthusiastically welcomed the challenge of guiding me through the entire process. Additionally, when he had shown me a boat I later rejected, Mr. Fawcett kept me encouraged and left no stone unturned to find the right boat. He patiently explained how the buying process worked along with the pitfalls and was always accessible when I had questions both big and small. Living 2000 miles away from the boat’s location was a challenge in itself but, Mr. Fawcett kept me updated during the entire purchasing process and I never had to ask, “what’s going on?” Furthermore, Mr. Fawcett also negotiated a very good price following the survey while keeping the seller happy… no small task. In conclusion, what more one could expect from a yacht salesman is beyond me, Mr. Fawcett checked all the boxes!
Are you reading this review to buy or sell a yacht? Please consider reaching out to the one I trust, Mr. Sean Fawcett.

Robert represented the seller in my purchase of a ECYS-brokered Grady White. The boat was properly presented and Robert was super professional. He helped expedite the process with the seller and the financing, encouraged a fair negotiation on terms and delivery, and had lots of good advice for me post-closing. I would be pleased to have Robert and ECYS represent me in a sale, and be assured of an honest broker as a buyer.

Robert helped us sell our 31’ sailboat. Did a great job of finding the right buyer and facilitating the transaction to make it convenient for everyone. It’s true that the other best day you own a boat is the day you sell it, but I’ll be calling when I’m ready to look for the next one.

Robert Thuss at ECYS blew me away with his hard work and professionalism. He found a buyer for my boat quickly and put in a ton of extra time to make it a great transaction for me and the buyer. Highly recommended. Can’t wait to buy a boat with him soon!

Thank you for everything Robert! I don’t think anyone had a better experience buying a boat than us. All thanks to you 😊

Super happy with my Axopar 28 purchase! Kevin McGettigan was phenomenal throughout the process and has been my go-to guy for any questions and advice since. Such a versatile, head turning boat and great support from Kevin and the team!

We worked with Kevin 13 years ago when we purchased our boat. He was so easy to deal with and helpful that when it became time to sell, there was no question who we wanted to work with.

I could not have been happier with Robert Thuss at ECYS. He helped us navigate both a purchase and a sale. We definitely appreciated his wise counsel and professionalism as he helped us close both deals on the same day! I could not have asked for a better experience from start to stop.

ECYS is simply phenomenal to deal with and a great network of yacht professionals. I’ve dealt with Robert Thuss on both the sale of our old boat and purchase of our new classic. Over 30 years of boat purchases and dealings, and I can say without hesitation, he is the best that I’ve met and worked with. His vast industry knowledge, quick response time, hands-on guidance, and thorough understanding of the customer’s needs is the crux of his success. He goes out of his way to ensure a smooth transaction from the paperwork and minute details, to the inspections & sea trials, and is present every step, engaging on behalf of the clients he represents. A true, caring professional!

I found the sailboat of my dreams and Robert Thuss being the listing broker helped me purchase it at my price and with no pressure. I then listed my old boat and he sold it within a couple of weeks. Robert is incredibly reliable and pays a great deal of attention to details. He.is much more than a sales person in that he has become an incredible resource for many of my marine and sailing needs and questions. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants to buy or sell a boat.
