Testimonials

Very happy with the service. I dealt with Scott Burchett, who is by far the best broker I have ever worked with. Communicative, personable, and effective. Scott was reachable and always replied, and got me the answers I needed. This got me a beautiful boat, which I love. Great work!

Scott did a very good job in handling the successful transaction of our recent Grady White Marlin purchase. It was a pleasure to work with him, he fulfilled all matters to detail with the utmost professional manner. I would not hesitate to utilize Calibre Yacht Sales for future needs.

Scott provided exceptional professional assistance to us during our offer and purchase of a Kingfisher. His approach is open, honest and relaxed. Thanks again Scott for helping us land this deal, we are extremely happy with our new vessel.

As an owner of a sailboat or coastal cruiser on Canada's West Coast, there is an amazing opportunity to see the world, the wildlife and beauty of our pristine coastline. From time to time, you are either buying or selling a boat. This can be a very stressful and emotional time. People form close bonds to their vessels. Having said this, when it comes time to sell or buy your boat, you want to be dealing with someone who understand these things. My wife and I would like pass along our great appreciation to Calibre Yacht Sales and more specifically to Kent Leahy-Trill! He had the answers to our questions and some very helpful advice. If you are considering parting with your vessel, or purchasing one, we highly recommend Kent at Calibre Yacht Sales.! Don and Julie Bishop

Working with Kent at Calibre was an unbelievable experience. He went above and beyond to sell my boat, which was a unique vessel that required finding the right buyer and the right fit.

Kent is calm, cool, and collected, the perfect person to have representing and selling your boat. He found a buyer in Italy and helped arrange the boat’s transfer there.

Throughout the entire process, Kent was professional, patient, and incredibly dedicated. What started as a business relationship has turned into a genuine friendship.

I consider Kent a dear friend and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their boat.

We had the pleasure of working with Kent at Calibre Yachts. Kent facilitated our recent sailboat purchase and from our very first interaction long past our closing, he was simply phenomenal. We found Kent to be genuine, knowledgeable, honest, compassionate and willing to go above and beyond. Kent was tirelessly patient with my wife and I as we asked a million questions. We initiated contact during a stint of international travel, and Kent not only advised us through the process, he helped coordinate important aspects locally while we were still abroad. Even after we closed, Kent helped us with a few things that we couldn't have done without him. All along the way, Kent was professional, accessible and genuinely kind. We truly couldn't have asked for a better first-time boat-buying experience - Kent, you are the best!

Recently purchased a boat with Kent’s help. He was very prompt and professional from the outset. We experienced some timing difficulties due to the huge demand for marine services at this time of year but Kent stuck to it and always provided excellent advice. Not a showy salesman just very thorough and an excellent demeanour. Strongly recommended.

Brian Latta and his team were amazing at accommodating us for our travels from the island to view and ultimately purchase a very nice Tiara. I absolutely recommend Calibre Yachts as they will go the distance to accommodate and help you in your search! Purchase process was extremely streamlined as well. Very pleased with our experience

We had a great experience working with Brian. He was reliable, honest, and professional throughout the entire process. Communication was clear, expectations realistic and most importantly he got the job done. Would definitely recommend Brian to anyone looking to buy or sell a boat.

Garon sailed into our selling process with positive energy, a plan and a gentleness that understood how delicate selling a boat is.
Lifestyle changes are personal.
Very effective marketing.
Garon dealt with a challenging delivery of our dory to Haida Gwai with ease. Even when his planes engine exploded and the trailer paperwork had to be hand delivered and hand returned. To Haida Gwai !!
There was more paperwork than when we bought our house.
If you ever need a boat salesperson to get the deed done, just call Garon. Get your hug and know that he the best out there.
Thank you Garon.

Brian Latta’s service was flawless, he made every step of the highly emotional sale of our father’s boat as seamless and easy as possible. A consummate people person, Brian is both professional and a pleasure to communicate with.

Will from Calibre Yacht Sales sold our boat and delivered excellent service. His attention to details was outstanding and kept both the buyer and seller happy. Timely communication was the best.

Will Atkins helped us purchase our 33' Cooper Prowler. He was professional, knowledgeable, and more than accommodating. The sales process was virtually seamless and Will was always super responsive. He is well connected in the area, so is a great person to know. I have no hesitation in recommending Will and Calibre Yacht Sales if you’re thinking of acquiring a boat.

I had an outstanding experience working with Will as my boat broker. From start to finish, he was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure I found the right boat. He took the time to answer all my questions, explain every step clearly, and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and enjoyable.
What truly set Will apart was his kindness and care—he wasn’t just focused on the sale, but on making sure I felt confident and comfortable with my decision. His expertise and attention to detail gave me complete trust throughout the process.
Simply put, Will is the absolute best. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a boat.

Really enjoyed working with Travis — he made the whole process incredibly smooth. Super responsive, easy to deal with, and always helpful with any questions along the way. You can tell he genuinely cares about making things work for everyone. Highly recommend!

Kent and the team at Calibre yacht sales were great to work with. Consistent communication, flexible scheduling and just a group of good people. I've worked with a handful of brokers and Calibre is by far the best.

Kent at Calibre Yacht Sales sold my beloved Tollycraft for me. I found Kent to be professional, personable, respectful and highly competent. He is an excellent communicator and took care of all of the details involved in selling a boat with confidence, passion for excellence and a “can do” attitude. I highly recommend Kent and Calibre Yacht Sales for their honesty, helpfulness and their profound interest in caring for their clients! They helped me get my boat ready for sale by providing tips and helped me in finding contractors who were honest, capable and affordable.
Thank you Kent!

Hello Richard,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you and Calibre Yachts for your professionalism and support throughout the recent purchase of the Tiara 3700 Open motor yacht.This was a significant decision for us, especially after recently selling our Meridian 411 and planning to wait a year before getting back into boat ownership. But when the Tiara 3700 appeared in my search, I knew we had to explore the opportunity further. From our first meeting through the entrie due diligence process, every box kept getting checked. While the Tiara is quite different from the flybridge models we’ve owned in the past, we found it offered everything we were looking for in a cruiser — exceptional Tiara quality, design, and performance. Your open communication, integrity, and straightforward approach made the entire experience both enjoyable and confidence-inspiring. Thank you again, Richard. We’re looking forward to many great years of boating ahead.

Warm regards,

Frank and Wendy Berke

Calibre Yacht Sales was very professional and efficient. They did the research to determine the proper selling price and sold our boat for the price they suggested. The broker ( Tony ) was a true professional and a pleasure to deal with. The marketing package they put together was impressive and successful. We interviewed multiple boat brokers and Calibre were the only ones who took the time to do and present the research to us to substantiate the asking price. The other brokers suggested far lower asking prices than what we actually got for the sale through Calibre. They earned and deserved the business!

We bought our boat nine years ago through Calibre Yachts and found the experience to be both professional and personable. When it came time to sell, Calibre was our first and only choice. We enjoyed working with Richard Evans. His communication and sales skills are exceptional. His advertising package included a high quality video of our boat that was both a valuable sales tool and a beautiful keepsake for us. We are grateful for Richard's compassion as we worked through the emotions of letting our boat go. Our boat has wonderful new owners who will treasure her just like her previous owners.

We had a great experience in purchasing our trawler through Calibre Yacht Sales. Our broker Bryan was very knowledgeable, attentive and a great communicator. He helped us through the logistics of the sale and transfer which can be daunting to the first-time buyer. I would recommend him to both sellers and buyers.

We had a feeling that our boat would attract a lot of attention. Bruce worked hard on multiple offers, and we ended up accepting an offer over asking price. From there, the process was quite seamless and all documents were handled online, which we thought was very convenient. Selling a boat can be very stressful, our experience was a good one! And it was great to see our boat go to a new owner who will take care of her.

The most honest, knowledgable and hard working brokers in BC.
