Happy Buyers and Sellers
2009 Catalina 445
Jack, I want to take the time and personally thank you for your assistance and encouragement during the purchase process of my new Catalina 445. Frankly, without your help I would have had a difficult time completing the acquisition not to mention your assistance in helping me get the boat here to its new home in San Diego. Lastly, your follow-up attention to detail has eliminated needless worry as you were always on top of things and for that and the others described above you have my upmost gratification and appreciation. Scott Spiering, President

Dea Allen was our broker during a somewhat difficult purchase. With her help in diligently searching for just the type of boat we wanted we found one in the San Francisco Bay area. Dea was very helpful in establishing a good working relationship with the selling broker in Benicia, Ca. She set up appointments for viewing the boat, the sea trial and also recommended a good surveyor since we were completely unfamiliar with San Francisco Bay. She worked closely with the other broker through the purchase process and made what could have been a very difficult time the most pleasant and easy boat buying experience we have had. Dea didn't stop there, she kept in close contact until we had hired a delivery skipper and my husband accompanied him on the trip and boat and all aboard arrived safely in San Diego. We can't say enough about her personal touch and extreme professionalism in everything she does. We would recommend her to anyone wanting to buy or sell a boat.
Peter and Susan Dodd's new Chris Craft 42 sold by Dea Allen, testimonial from buyer coming soon!
Dea is a pleasure to work with, creative, caring, honest, patient, persistent, and, best of all, a model of integrity. She helped us find our dream yacht after a long search and came up with innovative ways to track down what we were looking for. She also gave us excellent advice when it came to negotiate our deal. She has very good instincts, too. I highly recommend Dea as a yacht broker.
Dea is very professional and knowledgable in all aspects pertaining to the purchase and sales of boats and watercraft. We appreciated the fact that she was not pushy or aggressive in her sales approach. She was a pleasure to work with and we both appreciated her personal attention to what we were looking for along with her vast knowledge of the boating industry. I have already recommended Dea Allen to several of my friends who are in the market for boats and will continue to do so in the future. De Allen is an asset to your company and is highly recommended by both my husband and myself. We will most certainly use her services again should we ever need them in the future. 
Dea Allen sold us our first boat and she made it a great experience. The thing I like about Dea is that she will follow up and provide assistance on any matter at any time. I will certainly go back to her for our next purchase! 
Dea helped me find and buy the boat I currently live on. I was impressed with her commitment to finding the right boat for me and making sure everything went smoothly - from the survey to signing the papers. She is extremely professional but also sensitive to her clients needs and wishes. Her knowledge of the market and her attention to detail make her an invaluable broker for anyone buying or selling a boat.
Dea is simply the best Yacht Broker I have ever met. Furthermore, everyone I have met who knows her thinks the world of her both professionally and personally. I have been lucky to have her on my side in all transactions and negotiations. She always goes beyond the call of duty without ever being asked. It's as if she reads the minds of her clients coming up with fabulous ideas even in seemingly dire situations. She has done this while representing me and as a dual-agent. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
I have worked with Dea for several years - she sold my sailboat and she helped my buy my first powerboat. She was an invaluable asset in both transactions, and is very competent, reliable and personable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to assist with buying or selling a boat.
To any/all prospective yacht buyers! Dea was the perfect yacht broker to lead us through the purchase of our first live-aboard home afloat. Not knowing what to expect, she immediately put us at ease with her PERSONABLE approach. After tirelessly showing us several possibilities, she helped us close the deal on the ideal motor yacht for us, even though we were out of town during the final transactions--GREAT RESULTS! Finding a live-aboard slip became a challenge, but Dea went the extra mile for us when she could have simply walked away after the sale--HIGH INTEGRITY! You cannot do better than Dea! 
Dea helped me in the purchase of my yacht. Dea is very punctual, trustworthy & has great knowledge of the boating world. Dea gets my vote as the #1 Yacht Broker!
My wife, Ellen and I couldn't have been more impressed with the depth of knowledge, experience and level of professionalism that Dea Allen with So Cal Yacht Sales demonstrated to us in our search and ultimate purchase of our 42’ Navigator Yacht. She was a huge resource in not only patience when answering our endless questions, but also navigating us through the buying process in a way that was easy to understand. When appropriate she worked with a sense of urgency to facilitate the transaction and her follow-up and follow-through was outstanding. We would recommend Dea and So Cal Yacht Sales to anyone who is looking for your first or your next boat. Dea is consummate professional. She is extremely knowledgeable and has an easy going personality. She works to understand what you need and provides the right solution. She is a hard worker and an advocate of her customers. We look forward to working with Dea again.
Dea Allen recently helped me sell my Tartan 3800 in San Diego. I was very pleased with her professional handling of the boat’s marketing and sales transaction. I would certainly use her services again to either buy or sell a boat and wholeheartedly recommend her services to others wishing to do so.
We had an outstanding experience with Dea as our yacht broker. We have since recommended her to many of our friends and colleagues. We trust Dea completely to be trustworthy, reliable, knowledgable, and professional.
"I had at least four brokers representing my boat before Dea. They were all gruff old salts who were looking out for themselves. Take it from me, you sometimes need a woman's touch. Dea has the personality and conscientiousness that guides buyers through the positive points of your boat. She even steered me away from bad deals at her own expense. Top notch sales person from one who knows many."
