Customer Reviews

“We just completed the sale of our 26′ Tolly. We had some ups and downs on the boat and would have been dead in the water if we had tried to navigate a sale ourselves. Steve and Bryan helped us and, more importantly, reassured us that we would make it through the final sale. Throughout the entire experience, we didn’t have just a sales guy helping us. We built a genuine friendship with the team. When we are ready to buy our next boat, it’s a simple decision to call Steve! Thank you again.”

“I had an all-round excellent purchasing experience with Everett Yachts … the key was full confidence that they were working diligently to arrange a compromise deal for both buyer and seller. Steve and others at Everett Yachts know what they are doing, the marina, the surveyors, the boat yard specialists… so there’s lots of help to get a good end experience.”

“A respected boater friend highly recommended Steve Dittoe, owner of Everett Yachts. We talked to Steve and explained our wants and needs. It was clear that Steve’s only motivation was to find us the right boat. He located three for us to travel north to see. Two were very acceptable. The third was on an inland lake in Canada, about five hours from the Pacific coast. Naturally, that was the perfect boat. Steve very expertly helped in negotiating our offer, which was accepted. He then arranged and attended the survey and sea trial. He coordinated and handled all the details for preparing the boat for transport, shrink wrapping, loading, and trucking to Bellingham, Washington. His documentation firm handled all the documentation details for a smooth and seamless transfer of title to the United States without any Canadian tax load. He counseled us and kept us informed every step of the way. There were several bumps in the road with a somewhat grumpy seller, but Steve very calmly and methodically worked them out. He then sold our 270 Sea Ray in about two weeks to a good and experienced caretaker, which was essential to us for our asking price. Working with Steve in the purchasing and selling has been a true pleasure.”

“We heard about Everett Yachts from a good friend. We wanted a broker who would understand our boat and that the experience would be emotional. We found that with Steve and Nick Dittoe. We would recommend them to anyone.”

—Sue Ostrander

“These folks were great. We bought our first cabin cruiser with their assistance. Bryan Dittoe helped us make sure the boat checked out and she went above and beyond at each step. Highly recommend.”

—Rob Smith

“Steve Dittoe took the time to take additional photos before my arrival. He also took me out on a test run and corrected the issues immediately that day. The purchase day was a little busy due to all the paperwork and repairs, but Steve came through on his commitment. I highly recommend Steve.”

—Sale’ Shull

“I contacted this company concerning a yacht that was advertised. We made an appointment with Steve to look at the craft. The brokers at this company really pushed they were a people-first company. We hear this a lot in any sales, but right off the bat, we could see that this was the case with Everett Yachts. They were very honest and forthcoming. We were like, “I can’t believe they pointed that out. We would never have seen that until after the purchase.” This was a big deal to me, being a new large-boat owner. It helped me feel very comfortable. We, on this day, have not committed. But we are getting close. I looked at this craft and had time to do all my homework, and Steve is still helping me get answers on updates the craft needs to keep us safe on the water. We recommend Everett Yachts, and will keep our dealings updated as we go on this journey to help other potential buyers feel the comfort we have felt.”

“Steve, while we have not purchased a yacht from your company, your willingness to go out of your way for virtual strangers is impressive and appreciated. Your knowledge of all areas related to boating has been appreciated. I’m sure your company’s attitude and perspective mirror you. With that in mind, we will call you and your company to represent our interests.”
