Bob Vinks

We recently purchased our new family cruiser through The Yacht Sales Co., and were impressed with the experience from start to finish. Our agent Bob Vinks was on hand to assist with all aspects of the purchase, and we felt confident dealing with an experienced boating industry agent, rather than dealing direct with the seller.

I would be pleased to recommend the Yacht Sales Co to any prospective boat buyer or seller, both for their outstanding customer service, and for the reassurance you will be dealing with an experienced and knowledgeable boating industry team.

Bob, it has been a pleasure dealing with you as a Broker in the purchase of the Dufour 520 Nishi. You had a keen buyer and seller, so the sale was transacted quickly and professionally.

You have been very helpful during and post the transaction and have been very generous with your time and contacts, including getting competitive quotations on Insurance.

I am glad we have met and I am sure our relationship with continue which I look forward to.

I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to Bob for the professional manner in which he ran the sales process for what was a specialised yacht appealing to a small targeted market.

Bob’s long term background in the yacht brokerage business came to the fore. Not only did he know the Buyer of old, he worked through the negotiating phase efficiently with your ‘˜Offer to Purchase’ document in place, with the pre-purchase survey booked and confirmed within a matter of days. As one would imagine with a yacht of this quality, the survey went well with only a couple of items to be resolved. Bob, stepped up and bought all parties together on the day and negotiated a financial settlement that was satisfactory to all.

There were several complications with the sale, due to the seller being a party to a Deceased Estate, with three beneficiaries and Solicitor to satisfy. Having introduced Bob to the principal Solicitor, he took over from there, arranging for the various parties to sign all of the relevant contractual documents within the time established by our Buyer. No mean feat!

Seasoned, professional Brokers are a scarce commodity in today’s boating industry. I would like to take this opportunity to compliment you on the professional service that your group of companies offer and in particular the professionalism and depth of experience exhibited by Bob Vinks.

A big thank you to Bob Vinks and The Yacht Sales Co. team for their help in selling our boat.

From the first conversation with Bob he was very helpful, professional and transparent about their selling process.

Bob provided regular updates on his communication with potential buyers and his 40 years of knowledge and expertise was clearly evident when he secured a sale quickly at a great price.

We also appreciated his smooth handover to the new owners and ensuring that they also had a positive customer experience.

Without hesitation, we highly recommend Bob and The Yacht Sales Co. to anyone considering buying or selling their boat.

Bob has been great throughout the process. His quick response times to my questions even though on holiday, general knowledge, and help with the boat beyond just the sale have been exceptional.

After what seemed like forever looking for a particular boat that would suit our family, we contacted Bob Vinks from The Yacht Sales Co.

Bob was so helpful and really listened to what we were looking for. We were always kept in the loop with the progress, checking in weekly to let us know how everything was travelling. Once we had finally secured a boat Bob walked us through the entire process and was always available to answer any questions or assist in any way.

Bob and The Yacht Sales Co. team were so professional and experienced, that we always felt we were in safe hands, and we definitely wouldn’t hesitate to utilise their services again in the future.

Thanks so much Bob for helping us find the boat we always wanted! We really appreciate all your hard work and efforts to get the sale across the line.
