What Our ClientsSay About Us

I just completed the purchase 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.

Jon did an excellent job helping us get this done. Very professional and easy to work with at all times. Knowledgeable, responsive, no pressure. I'm sure I will call on him for more insight and help as we get up to speed. Thanks again, Bill and Carolyn

In late October 2025 my wife and I saw a listing for a boat we had been looking for. This time in Elliot Maine. In his first reply to our inquiry, Evan Beals was very prompt and thorough. Our first impression continued thru the entire process of introduction, viewing, answering questions and to the closing. He made the process comfortable as we were doing this remotely (except the viewing which was done in person). He went out of his way to help us get necessary services completed so that the boat would be ready for transport to Pittsburgh. We always enjoyed our conversations. Evan is a special person to work with and comes highly recommended by us. Sincerely, Nick and Barb Lathrop

I want to extend my sincere thanks to Smith Yacht Sales—especially to Matt Reilly—for his exceptional effort in showing me the boats and guiding me through the process. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I truly appreciate all the time and attention he gave throughout. Thank you! John

Jon, You really were so professional and terrific. Seriously, you did a GREAT job. I'm sorry we had a few obstacles in the beginning, but you really turned it on and I am forever grateful to you and to your team. Thank you so much. Sincerely, Elizabeth P

This is a uniquely talented, knowledgeable and trustworthy group of Yacht Brokers! Over six years ago we sold our boat through Smith Yacht and it was an effi-cient, pleasant experience in every way. Eric leads his group by example, is so well-connected in the industry, and operates the rare kind of business that people return to over and over! We are now looking for another boat and appreciate the extensive time and effort this group puts in to help us find just the right fit.

Excellent boat purchase experience. I worked with Dan, and he was fantastic. They took the time to make the entire process stress-free. I recommend Smith Yacht Sales to anyone looking for a new or used boat in the New England area.

Excellent boat brokerage firm. Eric & Tori are both "top shelf"; professional, knowledgeable and precise. Highly recommend this brokerage firm if you're in the market to buy or sell. Finest Kind!

These folks are solid! I had my boat with another local broker who never generated any interest and basically did squat to move the boat. Dana and his team got me to an executed P&S in about 33 days at very close to my asking price. Good work!

Smith Yacht Sales helped me sell my boat. It’s the second boat I sold through Eric Smith and team. Steve Bucella in particular was great to work with. They were all very professional and provided great service.

I've been doing business with Smith Yacht Sales for more than 20 years. Top notch dealer and industry leader. From principal Eric Smith and including the entire staff, they hold your hand through the entire process making your buying or selling experience second to none. Having been on both sides of the equation I can attest to the fact that you won't find a better or more consciensous dealer anywhere. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed!!

Eric Smith and his team are extremely trust worthy and know everything about setting up a new boat owner better than anyone around. They also can sell your boat or get your boat serviced now too. Ive known Eric for a long time and have met dozens of his customers that understand his level of service and will never go to another broker. If you are on the fence, you won’t regret a call with Eric to talk about his approach. Many customers end up becoming friends of Eric’s and meet him out in Boston harbor to connect a few yachts and swim with his family.

The team at Smith Yacht Sales was very knowledgeable. They worked closely with me during every step of the process in selling my boat. The best I've worked with.

Eric Smith - best in the biz, bar none

Dan McCarthy and the staff at Smith yacht sales are excellent. They were totally transparent during a boat brokerage purchase and went above and beyond.

Everyone I worked with at Smith Yacht 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.

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.
