Chris, with Simpson Yachts, provides a client with a professional and honest experience in selling their Boat !! After a poor experience with another yacht broker it was refreshing to work with Simpson Yachts. Chris got the boat sold !! I still remember asking Chris a question while signing my broker’s agreement, “I hope you’ll be able to sell my boat”, and Chris’s reply, “Oh, i WILL sell your boat” !!! It was reassuring for me to hear that and gave me the confidence of working with a confident and professional broker. It took a little while, but Chris never gave up and was finally successful in finding a qualified buyer. The usual steps of deposits, sea trials, and survey’s went smoothly and in a timely fashion and finally resulted in getting the sale completed. (I wonder how many deals “fall through” during these processes). Glad I went with Chris and Simpson Yachts, and would highly recommend him to any prospective seller !!! You will not regret working with Chris, and Simpson Yachts !!!

Chris and the team at Simpson Yachts provided an outstanding, seamless experience in selling our family’s wakeboard boat! With my busy schedule and personal commitments, I needed a broker to handle everything—from advertising to finalizing the sale. Chris came highly recommended, and he exceeded expectations!

He responded quickly, offered helpful tips to make the boat show its best, and leveraged his extensive network to sell it in less than a week. The best part? The new owner truly loves the boat, which means a lot to our family! 🙂

Chris and the entire team deliver first-class service, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone buying or selling a boat! When the time comes for our next one, he’ll be my first call. Thank you, Chris and Simpson Yachts!!

Chris Simpson was a pleasure to work with. Quick clear concise communication from first contact. Every step was smooth and on time. From first ride to picking up of the vessel. Made tax and title transfer hassle free. Special thanks to the Simpson young men for their assistance. I love my boat!

Reached out to Chris regarding one of the yachts he had for sale. After meeting him at the boat and viewing several boats, we decided on the right boat for us. Along the way, there was absolutely NO pressure from Chris, only excellent communication. We knew we wanted to work with him.

His website is excellent also. The boat we wanted was a more expensive and nicer boat. We needed to figure out how to make it work for us. We were so comfortable dealing with Chris as he's both extremely knowledgeable of boats and he instilled a confidence in us due to his straightforward and easy manner.

He walked us through the entire process and helped us to make an offer that was very fair to both the seller and us. Chris even met me at the boatyard after the marine survey and we went though the survey checklist together! Wow. He made sure that all of the paperwork was perfect and when I asked him if he could recommend a captain to help pilot our new boat to our marina, he made an excellent referral!

We might add that Chris is a very decent and honest person; and he took the stress out of the entire process for us!
As new boat owners, we're very pleased with the entire experience.

Contacted Chris about a Sea Ray 420 he had listed in California. We are from Maryland and buying a boat so far away was not a part of our plans, but worth a phone call. After speaking with Chris multiple times and making us feel comfortable, he asked if we wanted to do a FaceTime video call to show us the boat. He spent almost a hour showing us everything on the boat and wanted us to know everything before a flight across the country. After flying to the west coast to see the boat, it was exactly how he described. Chris assisted with all the logistics and communicated with us at least daily through the buying process. We purchased the boat and could not be happier with this experience. Chris is such a honest person and a class act!

We bought a cruiser from Chris 12 years ago. We had that cruiser for 12 years and were very happy with it. This month we bought a new upgraded cruiser from Chris and the experience was great again. Chris didn't have in his stock the boat we wanted so we hired him as the buyers broker and he found our dream boat in San Diego. We cruised with the new to us boat from San Diego to our home in Discovery Bay. We highly recommend on Chris and his team.

We were fortunate enough to have Chris Simpson as a resource for us when we went looking for our first large boat. We’ve always had boats, but nothing like the 2006 Sea Ray 44 Sundancer Chris helped us to purchase. He was also a valuable resource of people to help with training, service and detailing. He was also there for us when it came time to sell and helped to secure a buyer and manage the process keeping us informed along the way. We would use Chris again when the time comes for our next boat.

We purchased our SeaRay 420 from Simpson Yachts is early 2022 and the process was great! As a first time boat owner I was obviously a little nervous and had a ton of questions. Chris was very patient throughout the process and answered all of my questions and gave me some great pointers. 10/10 on the overall experience. When I'm looking to upgrade in a few years Simpson Yachts will be my first and only stop. Thanks Chris!
