When in the middle of the covid pandemic, I decided I would like to finally purchase a boat, I contacted Tony for his thoughts and guidance. Not only was Tony a great and experienced instructor, but through his stories and lessons he imparted a tremendous passion as a sailor and for life on the sea. I first met Tony when he instructed me on a week-long skipper course in Desolation Sound in the summer of 2019. So, work with her while you can! You won’t regret it. She told me that in a few years she plans to head off to sail around the world with her husband David, and she wouldn’t likely be available to help me at selling time. I told her when I sold Sea Zen that she would be my broker, and I would recommend her to anyone else. She was easy to work with and always prompt, always reinforcing my day-one impressions of her. Over the next couple of months, she appropriately dealt with all sorts of commissioning and delivery issues. That day I came to appreciate Trina’s special talents as a person and a boat broker: knowledge of boats and boat processes, understanding of my situation, assessment of what I needed, persistence, conviction about her recommendations and course of action, all brought together with an engaging personal approach. I started to develop a hands-on feel for her and conceded that there was a path I could see to coming to love the boat. I did come look at it, she gave me the tour, and I gradually recalled the reasons we had ordered the boat. In the next hours she worked with others to resolve the administrative glitches, took pictures of the offloading and forwarded them to me with commentary about what a beautiful and delightful boat she was, and later convinced me to drive the hour required to come back and visit the boat. Hence, I was frustrated, confused, and not sure I wanted to even see the boat, let alone be responsible for owning it.Įnter Trina! Rather than have me stand in the cold outdoors for a boat I wasn’t sure I would ever be able to claim, she advised me to go home to wait. Standing in the parking lot, I was told that there were newly revealed administrative hurdles with importing and keeping it in Canada. It was a cold, foggy January morning, and we were to take a tugboat to the ship to see them offload the Helmsmans. I was awaiting arrival at Port of New Westminster for an oft-delayed ship from China carrying my boat. A special shipping cost levy had to be paid, there had been luxury tax, sales tax, and duty confusions. We bought a new Helmsman 43E, but delivery was delayed and confused by Covid-induced issues. My wife Valerie, with whom I had ordered the boat, had passed away within the last month. When first we met, I wasn’t even sure I wanted to remain a boater. Four months ago, I didn’t know her, but she was my newly appointed Calibre boat broker. Sincerely Michael H Wright, sailer, veteran, satisfied client.Ī story from the heart that, we just had to share with you on this Monday morning. The outcome ensured everyone was happy: Im glad they handled the deal. The whole process was smooth and enjoyable. Yes, you pay, but the relief of not dealing with buyers and sellers who can be particular and have expectations is well worth it. If you want service either buying or selling Caliber brings a whole new professionalism into the market. The documentation deposits and conditions were executed on time and in order. Justin Mede handled the various would be purchasers professionally with no unnecessary incursions onto the boat. I was kept well informed and there was always plenty of coordial communications between myself and the broker. Then they spent the time to get the boat ready and offered suggestions that increased the likelihood of success. They made an up to date marketing plan for my older but well kept sailboat. Not Calibre Yachts: It's a whole new ball game.
