Patrick Gilot

A very professional company, well represented in the Australia/Asia region. Patrick Gilot made the difference and had a more human, less commercial approach that made the experience enjoyable. Thank you.

Patrick, I just wanted to drop you a line to say how great The Yacht Sales Co. was throughout this process. As you know, it was not the simplest purchase and you’ve assisted us through every stumbling block, day after day. Without you I do not believe we would now be sitting in New Caledonia! It was an excellent, professional service and we are very thankful. Many thanks to The Yacht Sales Co. team!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your help with our purchase of the Perry 59. You made it all such a smooth and painless process. We are so happy with the boat and with the purchase price you helped us to secure.

It was a very happy experience and I would highly, highly recommend you to anyone who is wanting to buy or sell a boat.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank The Yacht Sales Co. for the recent sale of Island Buoy.

My experience with The Yacht Sales Co., with the purchase of Minx Fusion 40 and the sale of Island Buoy have far exceeded my expectations.

The Sales Representative who was directly involved in both these transactions conducted himself in a very professional manner ensuring his full attention and made himself available at all times.

Accordingly I have highly recommended The Yacht Sales Co. to a number of my friends who are in the process of buying/selling their vessels.

Once again thank you The Yacht Sales Co. for making this experience as stress-free as possible.

Dear Mark & Patrick,

On 9th July I will be departing for France to finally take possession of my new boat. I would like to take this opportunity to say how much I have appreciated all your efforts, advice and assistance, which you have given me during the past few months with regard to the purchase of the boat. I have come a long way since sailing along the Mediterranean coastline on Geoff’s boat last August to actually owning such a beautiful boat. I consider this to be not only a personal achievement on my part, but also a realisation of a dream come true.

Again, my sincerest thanks to you both for helping me turn my dream into a reality.

We have just sold our Astrea 42 in Greece and are very happy with the process and the results. For us, this is the 4th purchase or sale of a catamaran through your company – in Australia and Europe – over nearly 10 years. We obviously have been very happy to continue the relationship!! From purchases through Mark and sales via Patrick, all in the company are a pleasure to do business with. Everything is handled pleasantly and professionally. Well done guys! You have added substantially to our sailing life.

Hi Patrick,
Thank you so much for all your efforts and hard work. You have done a wonderful job and been very thorough; I hope the buyer is as happy as I am with your attention.

Over the past 25 years we have bought and sold several vessels and employed various brokers to assist with the process. Our recent experience with The Yacht Sales Co. has been by far the most professional.

During the process of selling our vessel we personally dealt with Patrick, Brett & Christina and have been extremely impressed with the prompt responses to our correspondence, the proactive manner in which we were provided information about enquiries and the outcome of inspections carried out by prospective purchasers. 10/10 Team TYSC!

We first met Patrick 10 years ago when he showed us a Catana 581, which was not for sale. Over the years I have sought his advice many times and I’m glad that finally we were able to purchase a boat through Patrick and The Yacht Sales Co.

Patrick, with 60 staff and a hundred major sales a year, I think I know what I am talking about. The Yacht Sales Co. has done the impossible – a miracle -and twice in a row.

Not only was my Helia 44 NOT for sale, but you put together a deal and sea trial, and survey, and delivery all as smooth as silk when my Helia was not even for sale!!! Then, when we had decided we were pretty much out of boating now, you did another miracle and has put together a deal on the SABA 50 Serenity. Again, it has gone smooth as silk, you were the MAN on the spot that negotiated the whole thing and made it happen.

I am not sure you could get a better sales team. I get nothing out of this, no reason state other than the truth. You get the job done, not by being a pushy salesman, as I detest that approach. He puts together the scenario of an ‘œopportunity’ that you just cannot resist. We did not intend to either sell the Helia, OR buy the SABA 50, but we just could not resist it. He matched the buyers and the sellers to make an opportunity for both, without being a pushy salesman. It takes a special kind of person to pull that off.
