Travis Smith

" We couldn’t be more grateful for our experience purchasing our Carver 530 Voyager through Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales.From the very beginning, Captain Travis “Travo” Smith went above and beyond to make this experience everything we hoped it would be. Travo didn’t just help us purchase a boat — he helped us make a dream become reality. He was there every step of the way, from helping us secure the boat, to getting us moved in and comfortable, to continuing to check in and make sure we were happy long after the sale was complete. There wasn’t one phone call or text that went unanswered and he was always so patient and kind.His knowledge, patience, genuine care, and willingness to help made all the difference. We always felt like we had someone in our corner, and that meant so much to us.Jim Kehrig was equally incredible. He took the time to come out, offer guidance, answer questions, and help us navigate the systems of the new boat, He spent an entire day answering our calls and texts. (And became our weather man) The entire team at Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales truly went above and beyond.What impressed us most was that once the papers were signed, they didn’t simply walk away. They continued to help us, guide us, and make sure we were comfortable and confident with our new boat. They didn’t just sell us a yacht — they welcomed us into a boating family.We absolutely love our Carver, and we’re so excited for the adventures ahead, especially as we begin our Great Loop journey. We couldn’t imagine having better people beside us to start this chapter.Travo and Jim — thank you for treating us like friends rather than customers. We truly believe we’ve gained lifetime friends through this experience, and that is worth more than any boat purchase could ever be.If you’re looking for a yacht and want a team that genuinely cares about you and your experience, we cannot recommend Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales highly enough.

" Captain Travis Smith made the purchase process smooth and easy. He was a wealth of knowledge on the boat and much more on what to expect once we got on the water. Grant who was point of contact for credit was also responsive and easy to work with. The entire experience was a pleasure! I would highly recommend JBYS! "

" A big shout out and thank you to Capt. Travis Smith.! Capt. Travis sold two boats for us over the past few years and then assisted us with buying our newest adventure - 2005 SeaRay 390 Sundancer "Feeling Blue" through JBYS this year. We are very pleased with service and responsiveness that Capt. Travis has shown us over the years. He made the selling/buying process very easy and also supported us after our purchase. He is a true yachtsman and gentleman! We look forward to the summer and thanks for bringing us into the JBYS family. "

Jim | SeaRay 390 Sundancer

" It was a pleasure working with Travis Smith on the sale of our 1999 Carver 406 Aft Cabin. We made a decision to sell at the end of the season. The boat was barely on the market and received a reasonable offer after its first showing. Travis worked efficiently through the whole process, and we closed in November. I appreciate the assistance from Travis and the JBYS team. "

Curtis | Carver 406 Aft Cabin

"Everyone on the team was so helpful; From Travis, our salesperson, initial point of contact, through to Grant in financing who finalized our sale. Travis even took several hours after the sale to show us the basics as me and my wife are new to boating! Thanks JBYS for a wonderful, seamless, and enjoyable sales experience!"
