San Diego’s Preferred Yacht & Sailboat Marketplace

I had an awesome experience with Peter on my just purchased sailboat. The broker on the other end was not so awesome and Peter held the deal together. His communication, professionalism and mellow manner really impressed me. Thanks Peter!!! - STEVE

Tom Bossenger was amazing--sold my boat in under six months at a great price and provided outstanding service the entire time! Describing him as a professional yacht photographer doesn't do him justice. Our boat WHIMSY looked amazing, and I would've bought her all over again. He stayed plugged into the local boat shows and prompted us to do temporary price changes to draw the attention of boat show buyers.

Tom was a professional negotiator and gave us great advice as we moved through the offer/counteroffer/survey process. What seemed like an overwhelming series of steps to sell our vessel turned out to be so easy, all because of him!

All of it worked! How many people do you know that sold their boats for the same price or more than they bought them for? If you want to be one of those rare people, call Tom now!!! - DANA

Outstanding brokerage! — truly the best experience we’ve had purchasing a boat. From the first conversation through closing, Ian and the California Yacht Sales team demonstrated deep market knowledge, attentive communication, and absolute integrity. They went way above and beyond to ensure my wife and I were not only fully informed and at ease about the boat’s detailed requirements, but also personally assisted us with crucial cruising needs and international logistical arrangements. They explained pros and cons clearly, navigated inspections and negotiations flawlessly, and provided excellent after-sale follow-up. We will always be truly grateful — we’re not leaving them behind; we’ve gained friends and will keep them updated as our cruising lifestyle moves forward. Thank you so very, very much California Yacht Sales! - TYNA AND CHARLES

We recently purchased our Hunter 41 sailboat through Tom Bossenger at California Yacht Sales in San Diego, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Buying a boat is exciting, but there’s a lot that goes into it. Tom was fantastic throughout the entire process. He was patient, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and always willing to take the time to answer our questions. We never felt rushed or pressured. One thing that really impressed us was how well-connected Tom is throughout the San Diego boating community. He knows the industry, knows the people, and those relationships are incredibly valuable when you’re navigating a boat purchase. What we appreciated most was having someone we trusted to help us through the process. Tom was always approachable, helpful, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. We’re now out enjoying our sailboat and making some great memories on the water. If you’re looking for a yacht broker in San Diego, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tom and California Yacht Sales.

Thanks again, Tom! We really appreciate everything you did for us. - PAUL
