I just completed th epurchase of a boat through Smith Yacht sales. My broker Steve B. who, from my first call to the completion of the purchase, couldn’t have been more helpful. Steve is polite, considerate, knowledgeable, very easy to reach and truly enjoys what he does.
If I asked Steve a question he couldn’t answer, instead of BS’ing me he said he’d find out and get right back to me, and he did. I’m in my 60’s and have owned many boats, and have dealt with many yacht brokers. Steve was as good a broker as I’ve encountered, and much better than most.
I also had the pleasure to meet Eric, the owner, as well as Connie, who handled the transaction paperwork. Both of them, like Steve, couldn’t have been nicer or more cooperative.
Smith Yacht Sales is a quality company owned and staffed by quality people. I wouldn’t hesitate to do business with them again.

Everyone I worked with at Smith Yacht especially Steven Buccella was awesome to do business with. I can’t emphasize enough how much they helped me feel good about the process of being a first time boat owner!
I have been a Smith Yacht Sales customer for the past six years.
Year 2023 Eric Smith and Matt Riley managed the sale of my 32’ twin diesel flybridge cruiser and purchase of my 42’ twin diesel flybridge cruiser.
The services provided by Eric and Matt have been excellent:
1. Sale of my 32’ boat.
2. Comprehensive evaluation of numerous boats for potential purchase.
3. Selection of my current 42’ flybridge boat.
4. Management of all services for purchase: Boat survey, purchase and ferrying from Florida to Massachusetts.
5. Continuing assistance in preparation for the 2024 boating season.
I highly recommend Smith Yacht Sales for both sales and purchase of boats. Customer service has been outstanding.

Hingham Shipyard Marina
I have been admiring Southports in the Hingham Shipyard since we moved to the area 3 years ago. More importantly, my wife, who is not quite the boating enthusiast I am, had always said “well, if you ever do get a really nice boat, that’s the one you should buy”. And that was based on looks alone. When we researched Southports online and couldn’t find one comment that wasn’t absolutely glowing about the ride and quality of fit and finish, we both knew Southport was our perfect boat. I decided this Spring it was time to “go for it” and enlisted the help of Dana Brandt at Smith Yacht Sales. Little did I know just what a hot commodity slightly used Southports were, but Dana became a great partner and friend in the process of acquiring our 26. Over the course of doing so, Dana joined me in traveling to NJ for the sea trial, working out the shipping details and connecting me with local experts for maintenance. It’s been over a month and we still find reasons to stay in touch. We are thrilled with our new Southport Center Console (planning to name her “Mellow”) and even my wife asks me when we are going out next!
Leisa, Eric and Kyle- Just a little thank you for your exceptional customer service in selling our 260 (Sea Ray Sundancer) and purchase of our new 340. All of you went above and beyond! Smith Yacht Sales truly exemplifies how the purchase and sale of a boat should be. Looking forward to working with you again in the future!
Eric and Scott, just wanted to say thanks for the help with selling my Pursuit Walkaround. Scott did a great job presenting the vessel, and I received a fair price after all was said and done. I had mixed feelings about selling, but it was the right move as I needed to downsize a bit. Scott, if I ever sell another boat, I will look you up-appreciate your efforts.
