Ron Silvia, JBYS vice president of sales, says, "Returning business is, without question, our biggest compliment. While no company is perfect, our testimonials speak volumes about who we are. Our customers go out of their way to recognize and thank everyone from sales to service to members of our business office. This is pretty special."
" Kevin McNally recently helped me purchase a 1999 Sea Ray 370 Sundancer. He represented the seller and also represented me as the buyer. He handled both roles with professionalism and care.Kevin made certain every concern I had about the boat was fully addressed before closing. He took the time to answer questions, arrange inspections, and explain findings in clear terms. That preparation gave me real confidence heading into the deal.Kevin also captained the vessel during the sea trial. He put the boat through its paces and showed how she performed under different conditions. As a USCG licensed captain with decades of experience on the water, he demonstrated both the boat and his own skill. The trial left no doubts about the vessel or about Kevin’s ability.The entire process felt organized and straightforward because of his attention to detail and genuine interest in a good outcome for everyone involved. I would work with Kevin again without hesitation and recommend him to anyone buying or selling a boat. "
" The transaction was fast and smooth. This was an exceptional boat in immaculate condition and the value received was reflective of the quality. "
" A trusted charter captain recommended Kevin McNally to us when we were considering selling our vessel. I can honestly say, we could not have been more pleased with the experience! Within minutes of reaching out, Kevin returned my call and started the process. Literally, within 24 hours of listing our boat, we had a full price, cash offer. We closed a few days later. Throughout the process Kevin was knowledgeable and attentive. Extremely professional. We could not have hoped for a better experience. I would give Kevin my highest recommendation without reservation! "
" 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.

" I recently worked with Kevin McNally at Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales on my first large boat purchase, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Although there were a few hiccups in the beginning, Kevin’s guidance and support made all the difference. He walked me through every step of the process, answered my questions, and helped make the experience as smooth and manageable as possible. Kevin’s responsiveness was exceptional. He consistently answered my calls and texts immediately, which gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the purchase. His knowledge, dedication, and willingness to help added tremendous value, especially during such an important investment. I’m incredibly grateful that I found Kevin and would highly recommend him to anyone seriously considering buying a yacht. His professionalism, communication, and commitment to his clients make him an outstanding salesperson and someone you can trust throughout the entire process. "
" For years, I thought the main reason I continued doing business with JBYS was Ron Silvia and his incredible 24/7 support of my boating addiction. While I still greatly value Ron and everything he does, I can honestly say that Charlie is the reason I will remain a loyal JBYS client. After more than 20 years of boat ownership, I have worked with countless mechanics and technical support professionals. Charlie stands out as one of the most knowledgeable, dedicated, responsive, and genuinely caring people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Most recently, I experienced a critical electrical issue and Charlie was my first call. Within 24 hours, Charlie had new batteries secured and a team ready to help, ensuring I could take a large group of clients out on the boat tomorrow as planned. That level of service is invaluable, and I am incredibly grateful for the support. Charlie, Thank you for everything you do. Just when I start to think boat ownership is creating more headaches than enjoyment, you step in and remind me why I keep at it. I truly appreciate your commitment, expertise, and willingness to help whenever needed. "
" It is my pleasure to write this review for Kevin McNally of Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales. While Kevin represented the seller and we had our own buyer's broker, he treated us as though we were his own clients from start to finish.Purchasing a boat is a major investment, and as first-time owners of this beautiful Sea Ray 380 Sundancer, there were many moving parts during the survey, repairs, closing, and final delivery. Throughout the entire process, Kevin worked side by side with our broker, the surveyor, the service department, and the marina to help ensure everything was completed as smoothly as possible. He was always available, quick to respond, and genuinely committed to finding solutions whenever questions or challenges arose.What truly sets Kevin apart is that his commitment didn't end when the paperwork was signed. He personally served as our captain for the trip from Chicago to our home port in Saugatuck, Michigan, making sure we felt comfortable and confident during the journey.Before we even left the dock, Kevin noticed that the boat had become dirty from sitting at the marina. Without being asked, he picked up the cleaning supplies and washed the entire boat himself. That simple act spoke volumes about his character. It wasn't part of his job. He did it because he genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in the boats he represents. It was an incredible gesture that my husband and I will never forget.Kevin's professionalism, integrity, work ethic, and attention to detail are second to none. Even though he was the seller's broker, we always felt that he wanted the very best outcome for everyone involved. His honesty, knowledge, and willingness to go the extra mile made what could have been a stressful transaction into a positive and memorable experience.If you're looking for a yacht broker who truly cares about people, not just selling boats, I wholeheartedly recommend Kevin McNally and the team at Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales. Kevin exceeded every expectation we had, and we are incredibly grateful for everything he did to help us purchase our dream boat and safely bring her home to Saugatuck.Thank you, Kevin. Your extraordinary commitment, kindness, and professionalism made all the difference, and we will never forget everything you did for us. "
" We purchased our first boat through Kevin McNally and can’t say enough good things about Kevin and the entire process with JBYS. I’m a jaded attorney with little trust of people and processes, yet Kevin instantly gained my trust from his first showing of the boat through the entire due diligence and purchase process. And even after our purchase and closing - when Kevin could have moved on to other sales - he went out of his way to spend an entire day with us to orient us on the boat and give us valuable safety lessons. Kevin has proven himself as highly knowledgeable and trustworthy, and I couldn’t imagine buying or selling another boat without him. "
" I was super satisfied. My boat went up on a Monday and the following day an offer was made and money was in my hands the following week. Great company to work with. "
