Testimonials
From Boat & Yacht Sales Professionals
"Closed my first $1,000,000+ yacht last week and I couldn't have landed that deal without the skills I learned from Yacht Sales Academy. Thank you Vincent Finetti!"
Gordon Bennett
Yacht Broker, Annapolis Yacht Sales
"I have been in sales for over 30 years and boating for more than 45 years. I have to say that you have enlightened me to the 'new age of sales' and prospecting for business. Your program is one of the most complete that I have ever participated in! I am most impressed that you are so young, yet so business savvy! Thank you for providing so much Value!"
Tony York
President, Oceans Adventures
"I just wanted to thank you again for the most recent training. It was excellent. I found your insights into the psychology of clients, when it comes to convincing them to list their boats at the right price, to be invaluable. The detailed 'to do' list and step-by-step instruction on how to implement your system is also extremely helpful. Easily the best value training that I’ve undertaken in a long time (and I sign up for a lot of courses!)"

Shaw Newman
Delta Boat Sales
"I’ve been following Vincent for a while and have been consistently impressed by his marketing and boat sales insights. I would consider myself a fairly successful boat broker, but I’m always keen to develop my skills and my business. I decided to reach out to Vincent for his advice on how to increase the quantity and value of the boat listings that I am working on.
On our coaching session it became apparent that he speaks from experience when it comes to listing and selling high end yachts. He is generous with his time and the information that he provides. I picked up lots of actionable techniques and strategies that I’m confident will lead to increased listings and sales for my business in the coming months.
No matter what stage you are at in your career as a broker, Vincent will be able to provide you with highly valuable and up-to-date information and strategies to allow you to improve your sales results."

Vincent has great insight into the buyers of today and there are so many great lessons and insights that if implemented, will boost your business to the next level.I've already tried some of the lessons and last week got two accepted offers on brokerage boats.
I highly recommend this course to any new or seasoned yacht sales professional who wants to understand the current yacht sales atmosphere. This is well worth every bit of the investment. I am enjoying implementing the lessons into my daily practice of moving prospects into owners."

Joe Hemberger
General Sales Manager at Chicago Yacht Works

Steven McPherson
Manager at Skull Creek Boathouse
"I also had a listing appointment with a client immediately following the training and was able to get them to list their boat at the correct price right from the start. They said, 'There was no way we would have sold our boat for your suggested asking price let alone list it at this price, but your listing presentation made it clear that this was the right thing to do.'
There is no fluff; there is no pressure to sign up for additional training, there is just useful actionable information that will immediately improve the quality of the service you provide."
