3/25/24- I considered several different yacht brokerage options when I decided to sell my 42’ Grand Banks Classic. I selected Yachtfinders and I could not be more pleased with that choice. In working almost exclusively with Captain Kevin Graffagnino, I was totally cared for through the entire listing, surveys, and sales procedures. Captain Kevin partnered with me through the entire process and was extremely kind and considerate in using his extensive knowledge of boat operations, maintenance, sales, and the boating brokerage environment in general. His professionalism and knowledge were the key elements in getting my boat sold.  In the future, if I have a need for yacht brokerage, or am asked for a recommendation, I will immediately call Yacht Finders and ask for Captain Kevin Graffagnino.

10/23/23- My wife and I are grateful to the work of Spencer (and his spouse Cathy) for their very professional brokering of our 33 foot , year 2000 Mainship.  We had 2 other attempts by other brokers neither of whom came on even one showing of the boat, while Spencer came on all 5

showings.His soft sell, and his sincere enthusiasm attracted our  most  recent buyer, resulted in an all cash no survey or seatial transaction witht the buyer  resulting in a trusting process, which I don't think would have happenedwith another broker.  And Spencer was there not just through the sale,but also through the delivery!!!

 Thank you Spencer for your good work!

8/4/23 - Kevin and Keith, brothers, as boat brokers running a family-type business are quick to respond and answer all your questions. We all know how stressful it can be buying a boat, but their quick responses and their overall knowledge of boats puts you at ease. They both followed through to accomplish the sale which is a win, win for all. I recommend them highly if you're buying or selling your boat.

7/26/23 - Working with Captain Kevin Graffagnino at Yacht Finders was an easy, pleasant and quick transaction. Captain Kevin is knowledgeable in all different types of boats/yachts, their features, price points and more. We were biting the tip of our fingers about the selling process, But he made the decision-making process a breeze. But what stood out the most was the level of service provided by Captain Kevin. He provided an exemplary balance of professionalism and approachability, making him incredibly easy to collaborate with. His broad knowledge of yachts, with his undeniable passion and unwavering patience, made the whole process easier than I could have ever expected. I highly recommend working with Captain Kevin at if you are buying or selling a boat.

5/31/23- I’ve had a bug in my system for many years to step up from an older 19’ day boat to a something with size, comfort and horsepower! Between taking my time to find exactly what we were looking for and the boat market going crazy due to Covid19, my search went from months to a couple years. Every time I called on a boat, it was completely misrepresented and overpriced. Thankfully, I came across a listing from Yacht Finders and connected with Kevin. The entire process, from the first phone call to organizing the shipment from New York to Texas, Kevin was professional, knowledgeable, transparent and had excellent resources for making this long-distance transaction possible. My wife and I took the time to fly to New York for inspection of the vessel. Kevin’s contact, John with Sound Shore Marine Surveyors was excellent. It was obvious Kevin new the quality of this vessel and between the two of them, I felt completely comfortable we would be proud of what we were buying. I would recommend Kevin and Yacht Finders to anyone, especially if you are buying a boat halfway across the country! Kevin – Thank you for your patience and support. We are so excited about our Formula. I’ve already mentioned to my wife, when it’s time to trade up, we will be contacting you to manage both sides of the transaction!

5/10/23- I had my boat listed with another New Boat Dealer for 8 months without a sale. I gave the listing to Yacht Findres and within 3 weeks boat was sold and delivered, No baloney, absolutely gets the job DONE with no drama!

4/25/23- Now that the purchase of my boat has been completed I want to thoroughly thank Spencer for his professionalism and hard work. There were a few administrative hurdles to overcome due to one party's lack of communication. Spencer worked tirelessly to complete the deal and remained professional and polite throughout the process. I am very thankful that I worked with Spencer in my boat buying process and I would definitely recommend Yacht Finders to anyone looking to buy or sell a boat.

4/21/23- My 1983 sailboat had been listed on a sailing website for a few years.The inquiries had not been efficacious. Discovering Yacht Finders in a TV commercial was the effective solution. Spencer Fuchs set up all vital information on their site and inquiries started coming in. Everything was discussed and arranged in a very organized manner which led to a successful sale of my beautiful boat. The buyer and I were very happy to have found each other thanks to the efforts of Spencer. I am happy to have found a good home for the boat that gave me so much joy for many years. Thanks to all!

1/31/2023 - We were randomly browsing BoatTrader looking at boats and there was one that caught our eye right away. Reached out to Yacht Finders and had the pleasure of speaking with Kevin. We told him we were interested in seeing the boat and he accommodated the viewing for us on a Sunday (We were driving from MA). Right from the get-go, Kevin was upfront and honest. Every little detail was disclosed and he never tried to hide anything — you don’t meet many people like that. He never rushed us either. He knew the boat inside out and explained all the systems to us (we have a boat, but some of the systems on this one were different than ours). Two weeks later, we sent him an offer on the boat and the seller agreed on a price. We got our surveyor to drive down with us and we spent the entirety of the day testing the boat.. and the boat was great just like Kevin said. He got all the closing documents done quickly and he made the process feel effortless. We also asked him if he’d be willing to run the boat up to us in MA from NY and he said he would. Got the whole thing set up and he ran the boat up the next day by him and his nephew. Anyways, if you’re looking to purchase a boat, Kevin G @ Yacht Finders is your guy. He’s honest and will work with you every step of the way!

11/10/2022 - Captain Kevin and his crew are a very honest bunch. Being from out of town, I bought the boat sight unseen based on the listing description and the opinion of Captain Kev. The boat was in better condition than he described, and he helped me get it to the marina it needed to be hauled to. Overall it was a great experience. He was extremely helpful to keep the deal finalized and keep the seller happy as my bank delayed closing. I will definitely check out Yacht Finders again when I am looking to upgrade!

10/31/2022 - Capt. Graffagnino made the process of purchasing a boat painless. His responsiveness was very timely and he went above and beyond to make sure all my questions were answered. I would recommend him and Yacht Finders to anyone looking to purchase or sell a boat.

9/29/2022 - I am so impressed by Spencer's professionalism. He was honest with me as the seller, and honest with all potential buyers as well. He offered excellent suggestions and was consistently "right on top" of everything. Thank you again!

- Diann Russo, 1990 Blackfin 29 Combi
 

9/8/2022 - This is not the first boat I have bought through, Kevin, nor is it the second or third. I don’t think people understand how important it is to be represented by a professional, like Kevin, when purchasing a boat. He has always steered me to the right boat for me and has helped me negotiate a fair and reasonable purchase price when buying or selling. This guy is simply the best!

- Joe Salvi
 

6/27/2022- I wanted to share my recent boating purchase with Kevin from Yacht Finders… From the first phone call through the closing Kevin was always accessible, open, honest, and truly professional. I was in need of a boat after having already purchased a slip when the original boat I was looking at fell through. I happened to hear that another boat at my marina was for sale and Kevin was able to give me all the details and show me the boat and be ready for the survey and then close all within a week! I would highly recommend using Captain Kevin G for your next purchase or sale and he even does lessons which I will be taking advantage of! Not too often do you meet honest, open, professional salespeople and Kevin is one of them! Super knowledgeable, professional, and gets the job done making, you feel like a priority the whole time! Thank you, Kevin!

4/12/2022 - I wanted to give Kevin G and the Yacht Finders LLC team a great big thank you for all of his assistance in purchasing our 2010 Sea Ray 220 Sea Deck. It's our second boat and the process was straightforward and seamless. Kevin was a great advocate for us, the buyer, and we appreciated his honesty and prompt attention to details and boat matters. He is very knowledgeable about the selling/buying process and boats. I would recommend his services to anyone.

9/9/2021- My experience with Kevin from Yacht Finders was a pleasant one. He is well knowledge and has many years of experience under his belt. It showed when he was showing and pointing out features on the boat that I happily now own. When corresponding with him, he returns messages in a timely manner. If I needed answers from him about the boat or if the answers were addresses to the seller, he was quick to get them. He is friendly, knowledgeable and has a good network of outside resources that can help you if you choose to use them. Overall: Are you looking to buy or sell a boat? You will be in good hands with Kevin and his team. Thank you Kevin for helping me get into a beautiful boat.

7/6/2021- We met Kevin through our father several years ago and he has become not only our go to “boat guy” but close friend and fishing buddy. When we decided to sell our custom 32 H&H Downeaster Kevin was the man we needed to help. Kevin brokered a deal to send our boat across the country to California, making the deal smooth and painless. We thought a buyer from so far would make the deal difficult but kev got it done! Thank you for always having our backs and working us through the process of selling our first larger boat! To many more smooth transactions in the future! Thanks guys!

6/22/2021- Kevin,Thanks again for helping me find the boat that I’ve been looking for, for years. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with you on both sides of this deal, which is to say helping to sell my boat and helping to get me into the new boat. I realize this is the height of your season and juggling many things at once, but I very much appreciate your responsiveness to me at each step of the way when most others simply ignore and help alleviate the stress of these transactions.

I’ve told you this before, but quite honestly I don’t know how you keep track of everything and keep things efficient, but you did. Great Job!

I’ll be sure to share your name and your company to anyone that I know that is either looking to buy or sell a boat.

04/29/21 – Andrew – 2004 SeaRay 420 Sedan Bridge – It was a pleasure working with Kevin and Yacht Finders. He was helpful in all aspects of the purchase. Being over three hours away, it was good to have someone local to assist in identifying services so the boat was in the water and ready for the season. Very responsive to answering questions. Participated in sea trials and helped me with all of the necessary paper work for the sale and documentation transfer. When its time to move up, Kevin will be my first call.
 

4/19/21- If you're in the market to buy or sell a boat you have to use Yacht Finders! Capt. Kevin has now sold 2 of my boats and has assisted me with the purchase of another. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone more knowledgeable on boats than Kevin! I also love his professionalism and availability. Any time I've reached out to him with any questions, he always responded immediately. His passion for boats is amazing, and I will always use Kevin and Yacht Finders for all of my boating needs.

2/27/21- Kevin has been my “boat guy” for many years. He got me into a great new boat this year even during this scarcity of available boats. There is nobody more knowledgeable or well respected in the industry. He always walks me through the process and leads me in the right direction. He will Always be my only “boat guy”.

5/11/2020- 2006 SeaRay 32 Sundancer- My wife and I were casually browsing at boats online. We came across one of interest, Capt Kevin Graffagnino had the listing. He was readily available to assist us and answered any questions we had. He was very professional knowledgeable and helpful and courteous. He met us at our convenience, answered all our emails and phone calls even on his scheduled days off. Kevin went above and beyond to make our experience and easy 5 STAR one for us. It was a pleasurable and professional experience, as well as stress free. Highly recommended ! Highly recommended to anyone working with him. Thanks again!

4/14/2020- Purchasing a boat with Yacht Finders was an exceptional experience. Our transaction was not exactly standard but Capt Kevin ensured all aspects of our purchase and delivery of our vessel were timely and accurate. Additionally, communication with these folks was also exceptional. We did not purchase a million-dollar boat, but Kevin and his personnel certainly made us feel like it was. I would highly recommend Yacht Finders and Capt Kevin’s services for anyone in the market for any type of vessel. He is an honest, upfront individual who took care of us throughout all stages of the purchasing process. We are extremely happy with our boat and appreciative for everything that these folks did for us from purchase to delivery.

3/11/2020- Kevin from Yacht Finders in our opinion is one if the best marine salesman we have ever used. Kevin has been our salesman for many years now.

He has a strong passion for boats and is extremely knowledgeable about how the vessel should function.

Our experiences with Kevin have been flawless. From him getting a buyer for the boat we were selling to the purchase of the boat we own now.

We went to Maryland twice to purchase our current 40ft boat, and Kevin was there at 430am to go for the ride both times. He was willing to captain the boat back to Long Island for us.

Kevin can advise on all repairs a boat will need, from canvas to fiberglass to mechanical work, to getting the best prices on fuel on the water.

He is willing and able to give you lessons on driving your boat if needed.

My wife and I not only have a business relationship with Kevin but we now have formed a wonderful friendship.

We strongly recommend Kevin at Yacht Finders. He is a honest great guy that will deliver and will definitely get the deal done.

Five stars hands down!!

- Frank and Rita Ragone, 2006 SeaRay 40 Sundancer
 

10/3/2019- Kevin was FANTASTIC!!! He did everything he could to make our buying experience over the top and it was not easy for him. Dealing with a divorce sale was tough but he did the right thing for both sides, We love our 26 Cutwater.

- Tom, 2016 26 Cutwater

2/2/2020-Bruce Parker and Yacht Finders are the best in the business! White glove service all the way! Bruce helped my find my last boat which I have enjoyed for 3 seasons. Now we are searching for the next one! Going bigger! He has driven to Maine a back twice to look at a boat with me! I don’t know where you will find better service then that.

2/21/2020- Kevin is the best. I have done multiple boat trades with him. The guy did great by me every time.
