My reputation is built on my clients satisfaction and pride of their yacht ownership. (call me to have me put you in touch with my most recent buyers or sellers) This is the reason that I retain most all of my past customers to help them sell their boats when they are ready to move up or down in size or retire from boating.
When you list your yacht, I will advertise her in national and local publications such as Chesapeake Bay Magazine, Passagemaker Magazine, Latitudes and Attitudes Magazine, Soundings and Prop Talk and Spin Sheet and on my Yachtworld.com & Boats.com web sites, with over 100 professionally taken, beautiful, high resolution, digital wide-angle color photographs, detailed layout drawings and a complete inventory list of exactly what is included in the sale.

I will become your private broker and captain during the selling period, since all of my attention is paid to the effort of selling your yacht! I will inspect your yacht daily and will keep her clean and detailed, so she is always in top showing/selling condition. No other broker I know of offers such attention to selling "only" your yacht!

Call or E-mail Captain John Kaiser, Jr. (john@yachtview.com) for details and to list your yacht today! I am busy selling my current inventory and always need new listings to market and sell.

I am YOUR personal agent and work to ONLY sell your listing. I accept all Motor yachts including Express, Downeast, Trawler and Sport-fishing yachts or Cruising or performance sailboat listings which are well maintained and properly priced. Let me give you the full attention you and your yacht deserve!

Featured Boat 36' Atlantic Boat/BHM/Duffy Downeast, single diesel w/Bow thruster & AC/Generator 1999 US$ 225,500 *** Price reduced $25,000.00 on 6/20/2009 for immediate sale. "All reasonable offers encouraged" *** "Jewel" is a semi-custom, highly sought after Atlantic Boatworks/Duffy/BHM 36' Downeast cruising yacht, just arrived in Annapolis (on 6/12/2009) and is turn key for summer cruising! Her interior and exterior have been cleaned, laundered and detailed. She is powered with a very well maintained single 375 HP Volvo diesel with less than 1300 hours (oil to be changed on 6/2009) and a Northern Lights generator (oil to be changed on 6/2009) to operate her air conditioning, heat and appliances. She has a just replaced bow thruster for maneuvering into tight slips and has just had her bottom refinished and all mechanical's serviced and made ready for her next owners "turn key" summer cruising. Her current owner reluctantly has decided to offer her for sale and has written the following narrative to explain in greater detail his thoughts and experiences of cruising and his ownership of this high quality yacht. Notes on MV Jewel: Every boat has a specific purpose. My experience is that few boats “do it all,” and the compromise that everyone recognizes comes less easily when a boat’s purpose is extended beyond it’s nature. I’ve had a lot of boats….sailboats, outboard powerboats, cruisers, sportfishers…and have done a lot of boating…from Maine to Exumas in more than one kind of boat. As a coastal cruiser, Jewel is the best of the lot insofar as she fits her purpose so very well. She’s set up and operates perfectly for two people to cruise anywhere in comfort and safety. We’re in our 70’s now, and have taken her from New England to the Tortugas to Exuma and Abaco without a hitch. We’ve never been in danger, nor seriously uncomfortable. She’ll accommodate three guys on a delivery trip, or me and my wife (we can squeeze a grandchild in at times). It’s my prejudice that no boat this size with a single head can accommodate two women for more that a few hours. We say that Jewel “drinks 6, feeds 4, and sleeps 2.” That’s what I recommend, though others may feel differently, and she has berths for 4-5 if you want to make that happen. I do not. The boat has two cabins and a salon, a head and separate standup shower, plus a decent sized cockpit, and with us two folks on board, there’s always a place to read, nap, smoke a pipe, listen to music, snorkel, fish off the stern, dink to shore with only a moment to launch Trinket from her platform. We carry provisions for a month, plenty of extra bottled water, enough whiskey and wine for a couple of old people, and truly have never wanted for anything we’ve seen on larger boats. Her pair of cockpit Engel refrigerator/freezers and an interior refrigerator gives us a huge amount of flexibility regarding provisioning for up to a month without needing anything but fresh food. The water tank never runs out, so long as we refill in a marina every four days. That’s for all the cooking, cleaning, and showers for two every day, which makes her perfect for even the most remote areas in the Bahamas. She has no superior in the Chesapeake. Jewel has no flybridge. Some feel that is a necessity. I feel otherwise, having had boats with a flybridge and having cruised them extensively. On a lovely warm, dry, clear Bahamian morning…it’s a magical place to be, that’s for sure. But for a couple, driving an all weather boat from up top is to separate captain and crew, as my wife won’t stay up in a blow. It’s wet on top. And can be cold. Real cold. I prefer to drive Jewel from below at all times, and in my bedroom slippers, air conditioned in the humid summer heat, cozy and diesel heated in the cold wet Chesapeake Fall, or going South from Charleston in February. In addition, Jewel gets under all but about three bridges from Norfolk to Ft. Lauderdale….that makes a real difference when trying to make time on the ICW She handles well around a dock with her large prop and big rudder…just “bump” her forward or aft, toss a springline to the dock…she’ll nudge right up without a complaint. A touch of the thruster is a benefit, making it even look easy. Anchoring is done from the helm, and it just doesn’t get easier. In a blow, we have extra Fortress anchors, but they’re set after we’re “in” and safe. One of the really fine features of this vessel is that she’ll get up and get out of her own way. We can cruise at a leisurely 8 knots…sipping under 4 gph of fuel and loving the trip, but when we have a four or five hour weather window to get home or across the Gulf Stream, she’s as comfortable at 15K as she is at half that, and by the time the trawlers have struggled in, we’re safely on the hook or in a marina slip with none of the “issues” that we’ve had in the past. I brag that I’ve made my last macho boating statement, and Jewel allows me to make good on that promise. Her six cylinder VolvoPenta diesel is easy to maintain, uses a modest 14 gph at 15K, uses no oil between oil changes, and has been babied since we’ve had her, with religious attention to oil changes, filters etc. The Northern Lights genset provides power for AC, and cooking. On one occasion I had to reset it…we had both ACs, the electric stove operating and used the microwave at the same time. It’s never happened again. There’s a lot of interest in cruisers like Jewel, in that it’s a rare day on the water or in a marina when someone doesn’t call or visit to compliment us on our Jewel. Modesty precludes my telling the tales specifically, just say that many experienced yachtsmen have commented that she’s the Perfect Boat, and we agree completely. Its’ been clichéd that “a man’s best two days on a boat are the day he buys her, and the day he sells her.” I disagree. Jewel is a wonderful boat, and we’ll be very sad on the day she gets a new owner. We truly hope the new owner will love her and honor and enjoy her as much as we have. * Current owners purchase survey available for inspection on request.
