West Yachts

"Russ and Leslie are experts in the boat business. Their knowledge helped me save money on my purchase and years later sell for more than what I paid for my yacht. Russ knows how to pick good yachts to buy that hold their value which is extremely rare. Russ and Leslie are very nice and available to help."

"Bought my boat through this brokerage 5 years ago and everything has turned out well but that is no thanks to the the broker, Russ Meixner. He is a very arrogant and unpleasant fellow to deal with. If you find a boat that is of interest at this brokerage, be sure and insist on hiring your own independent surveyor. All Mr. Meixner is good for is filling out the paperwork. Don't allow him to push you around."

"Russ is arrogant and condescending. He treated my wife like she was completely incompetent and tried to pull our focus away from parts of the yacht that were problematic. He was very reluctant to allow a mechanical survey, knowing the boat was in sad mechanical state. Highly recommend a different broker"

"We purchased our boat from West Yachts in 2015 after great help from Russ Meixner. Sadly, my spouse died over the summer and I needed to sell the boat. Russ and Leslie were extremely kind and helpful throughout the process, which involved two offers before the sale was final. The boat needed work, some of it complex, and Russ put in effort way beyond what I could have done on my own. All options were explained well to me, and I knew the boat well enough to concur with Russ's judgement. I think the buyer and I were both really happy with how Russ fostered the repair work leading to the sale. I would go back to Russ and Leslie in a flash if I were to buy another boat."

"West Yachts just managed the successful sale of our 38' trawler. Russ handled the whole process very professionally with competence, honesty, and attention to detail. It was easy and a pleasure to work with him. We felt well served during the process and would certainly recommend West Yacht's services to others in the boating community."
