Our fortuitous meeting at the Martinique Boat Show led to the splendid discovery of a boat which I am still surprised you did not acquire for your own account with the certainty of pleasing dozens of yacht-renters!
I salute the kindness of your commercial agent who has deployed a lot of energy to make the transaction go as smoothly as possible, to the shared satisfaction of the seller and ourselves.
I will be sure to tell everyone about it.
My Darlene and I are from the West coast of Canada .
We have been searching seriously for our retirement sailboat for approximately 3 years. Our previous experiences with various yacht brokers on the west coast has been disappointing at best. Misrepresented and over priced boats seem to be the norm here.
We had found the the Jeanneau online and contacted Michel for more information. Bare in mind Covid was still going strong at this point and travel to Martinique was going to be no small matter. “Sibylle” was sounding good at this point but we were a little skeptical still.
Michel recognized that we were travelling a not insignificant distance during difficult time and promised we would not be disappointed if we were to make the trip. Suffice to say we took the plunge figuring if the sailboat didn’t work out we’d at least get a break from a Canadian winter. We knew within the first 5 minutes aboard that we’d found our boat. His integrity and honesty will not be forgotten. Michel made himself available pretty much whenever we had questions and was very helpful throughout the purchase process.
Would recommend or use A&C Yacht brokers and Michel , absolutely !
We purchased our Dufour 455GL through A&C Yacht brokers. Our experience with Michel was absolutely first class. He was incredibly helpful at every stage of the process and he was a great help even after we had purchased Mojito. He was under no obligation to help after the contract was signed but he helped source the parts and labour that we needed for a whole month after the contract was signed and the boat paid for.
If you are going to buy or sell a yacht in Martinique I would recommend A&C without any hesitation. We had used another broker in Le Marin and had a very bad experience so be careful who you use.
I know your company many years and when I decide to sell Suffisant, it was clear to deal everything with A&C. Special help is and was, that Michel speak and write a lot if languages. this is for s seller a easy going. I was always happy as A&C is very efficient, fast and tell you the true whats going on on the market. It's impressed me, that the whole deal from beginning until the end incl. the money transfer was dealed seriousely and fast.
f i would buy or sell a yacht i would come again to A&C. It would be always my first choice. I felt in "love" with your company and can recommend your company to everybody!
I wish you all the best, keep going on.
Greetings from Switzerland,
translated from the original:
When I bought my 43 Sea Jolly, I had already appreciated the human qualities, the know-how and the necessary expertise of the whole team when it comes to the delicate cocktail between a potential buyer who wants to buy the yacht of his dreams at the lowest price and the seller who considers that any discount on the asking price for his beloved yacht is an inadmissible affront considering her innumerable qualities and the hours spent pampering the smallest corner of her 13m under the blazing sun of the fairing.
So when the time came to part with Sea Jolly, entrusting the sale to Dominique, Fred, Michel and Ludo was an obvious choice.
The end of the Covid period did not make things easy, but the new buyer under Michel's leadership appreciated the work and improvements I had made in the last few years, which immediately made him very sympathetic to me, even if discussions between an American who had traveled to France 40 years ago and a Frenchman who is practicing his English in the Grenadines can sometimes be a little rough.
At the same time, the same Michel, with the help of Jacques Scharwatt (without doubt the best maritime expert on the West Indies and the nicest!), used a lot of diplomacy to get me to accept a little discount here and another there that would bring the point of view of each party closer without damaging my self-esteem.
Finally, the sea trial with an ideal trade wind sealed the fate of the negotiation, it was enough to see the blissful smile of the future owner who didn't want to let go of the helm, to understand that he was already there.
Finally, the icing on the cake, during the signing of the contracts, Michel uncorked a bottle of excellent champagne which closed this memorable day.
Of course, my next acquisition will call upon the skills of A&C Yacht Broker, and I warmly recommend to use their services on all occasions.

I would like to thank the team of A&C Yacht Broker through whom I bought our RM12.7.
Being in France, it was important that my intermediary was responsive and followed the file as well as possible, the time difference did not facilitate things.
A&C Yacht perfectly relayed my requests to the seller and facilitated the negotiations so that the sale was handled fairly.
The administrative procedures were well carried out in time and the team did me the service of moving the boat to the cargo ship in the bay of Le Marin for free.
I can only recommend this trustworthy professional on the Martinique market.
Hello,
We would like to thank you very much for all the steps you took, your numerous exchanges to keep us informed of everything that was going on, this was very much appreciated considering our distance.
Thank you for your professionalism and your seriousness.
Good luck and we hope to see you again during our next visit to Le Marin.
We wish Mr. and Mrs. Bongiorno nice sailing and good times on board Philovent!
Yours sincerely
I salute whole the team A&C Yacht Broker, who did everything they could to smooth the way for the sale of our boat.
The boat was almost new, less than a year old when we decide to sale in May 2020.
Its price, close to that of a new boat, was a handicap at the beginning.
The buyers could not come and see the boat due to the Covid. Finally, there was lots of difficulties...
In December 2020, A&C Yacht managed to find buyers, who bought the boat.
A&C Yacht helped us a lot to prepare the boat after 6 months of wintering: we can say that they were there every time we needed them.
Engine overhaul, antifooling, watermaker repair, anemometer repair, dinghy repair, they did a faultless job in a friendly and professional atmosphere.
On the administrative side, it was not easy, as the buyer's bank asked for a lot of papers. In the end, we managed to get through it, and the experience of A&C Yacht allowed us to sell the boat in good conditions.
A big thank you to the whole A&C Yacht team, Dominique, Fréderic, Eric, Vincent, Michel, Helene and those I have forgotten!
Good luck to Lavinieke and Mario!
We will be back to buy the next boat!
I want say thank for excellent work in selling of my boat.
I think the A&C Yacht Broker is a one of the best broker companies in Caribbean. Their service means a high professionally work in a whole process of selling/buying.
I used A&C Yachtbroker twice (2013 and 2020) and when I am going to buy my next boat I will ask this company as first.
A special thanks to Michel Sebastiani. He is a man who I am trust. No more words needed...
