A Referral is the Best Compliment.
“I had a wonderful experience with Norwood Yacht Sales while purchasing my 1990 53 Viking Convertible. I had a very limited time to get the deal done. Stew represented the boat with perfection, which was important because I was flying in from Michigan. Stew met my brother and me at his brokerage docks in May of 2018 and immediately took us for a sea trial even without a contract. The boat ran flawlessly. We shook hands on a deal, flew back home and in the next week Stew arranged for a survey, new name and hail, and a complete detail of the boat’s exterior to be done. We stepped aboard two weeks later, ready to head back to Michigan by water. The day before we left Stew even drove us around in his car to pick up groceries and some items at West Marine that we needed for the trip. The professionalism and service Stew and NYS provided was exceptional.” - Jeff H. Detroit, MI
“Let’s begin by saying I had little to no experience in buying a power boat. I fell in love with a 2002 35’ Silverton Convertible and was introduced to the boat while searching Yacht World and Boat Trader through Norwood Yacht Sales. I met Dan Quigley at his office with my family and he promptly got us aboard on a cold February day in 2017. Dan educated me to the facts that the boat had newer 2014 8.1 Mercruiser engines with less than 70 hours, new canvas, new upholstery and was a fantastic deal as the current owner was a two boat owner. Everything he said about the boat proved true. Two months later we closed on the boat and departed for Rhode Island on a day when the seas were 5 to 6 feet in Buzzards Bay. Everything held together perfectly and we made it safely home. I could not be happier with my experience with Dan and NYS.” - Peter S. Westwood, MA
“I have known Stew Roach for forty years, first having done business with his family’s Bertram dealership in Boston from 1978 to 1996, and then with Stew at Norwood Yacht Sales thereafter. I truly consider Stew to be “the” Bertram Yacht expert. Over the years I have purchased eight boats through NYS: (2) 28’, (2) 33’, (2) 37’ and (2) 46’ Bertram Yachts, including my current boat, a 1996 46’ Convertible that I purchased in 2017. NYS also has managed my boats in season with detailed monthly washes, handling small fixes and procuring captains on demand when I have needed the boat relocated last minute. In my opinion no one works harder than Stew Roach and his company.” - Peter M. Winthrop, MA
“I am a professional spear fisherman who has traveled and fished throughout the world. For six months I traveled throughout the east coast in search of a sailboat to be my future home and on which I planned to sail around the world during the next few years. After much research I purchased a 1984 37’ Beneteau Idylle through Stew Roach at Norwood Yacht Sales in the fall of 2018. Stewart’s knowledge and helpfulness throughout the boat buying process convinced me that I was destined to own this boat. Not only did Stew arrange for a mooring for me to use in Osterville, MA at no charge for a few weeks while I provisioned the boat, he also has let me store my car in his home driveway while I sail down the coast. I will always remember Stew and NYS as I set along my journey.” - Daniel (“Adventure Man Dan”) B. Argyle, NY
“My wife and I decided to list our 2001 56’ Navigator for sale in the summer of 2017. We originally listed with another broker on Cape Cod where our summer slip was located. Later that fall we moved the boat to Boston for the winter, and felt that we needed some representation with a broker closer to the boat. We met Stewart at the New England Boat Show in February of 2018. My wife and I were both impressed with his knowledge of the Trawler and Motor Yacht market and decided to list the boat with Norwood Yacht Sales. Although some brokers may hoard their listings, NYS was very co-broker friendly and offered the boat out in Multiple Listing, and presented a buyer through another broker from New Jersey. We all worked together in mid-March to coordinate and complete a haul out, inspection and sea trial for the buyer on a cold, snowy day. My wife and I were appreciative that Stewart was able to negotiate some of the survey items and at all times felt confident he was working for us. All and all a very nice experience. We wholly would recommend NYS.” - Pierre and Louise C. Boston, Massachusetts
