Our client reviews

Mr Frederic Thouroude is a key person in the process of buying a sailing boat. I really want to underline his honesty, cooperation in providing us with all the information, and even more, we could almost have bought the boat just based on the photos and commentary of Frederic. I believe he inspires confidence and enables the buyer to concentrate fully on his investment. He always returned my calls. What's more, once the business was over, he provided me with everything I needed, which encouraged me to recommend his to friends wishing to buy a sailing boat.
Please post these comments, which are my way of saying thank you to Mr Frederic Thouroude.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for your email and I wanted to let you know my impressions on the procedure for buying my Panta Rhei, Etap 38i.
I hadn't really intended to use A&C Yacht Charter for finding my 'dream' boat, but circumstances decided otherwise! 

Once I'd walked through the A&C Yacht Charter door in Le Marin, I straightaway felt confident thanks to the professionalism of 'my' adviser and everything that followed just backed this feeling up.

Indeed, the help and advice I received were useful at all levels:

• Technical: trials, finding a specialist, organising assessments, contact and negotiating with local suppliers for bringing the boat up to date...
• Administration: notably the paperwork regarding changing the boat's nationality and getting a permanent place in the port
• Relations: with the seller who was German
• Financial: help with negotiating...
• ..../....

It was a real partnership that was established and which is still there today.

Please thank Michel for me, and his team, who helped us in our dream quest....

With kind regards,

Eric James

We called on the services of A&C Yacht Brokers on the advice of friends.

We were not disappointed, as the sale of our Sun Odyssey 37 "Cupulatta" went through quickly and without hitch thanks mainly to their energy, their professionalism, their good-natured attitude throughout and their thoroughness.

Thanks a lot to everyone,

Carole and Greg

I have recently bought a Sancerre sailing boat with A&C Yacht Brokers. I live in France and found the boat on the www.boats-caribbean.com  website; as a result of my interest, I was contacted by Frederic Thouroude from A&C, who was able to answer all my questions.

After signing the purchase agreement from home and paying a 10% deposit, I went to Martinique and was pleasantly surprised to find that the general condition of the boat corresponded perfectly to the description given to me by Frederic.

I’ve been sailing ever since on this boat, which has given me a great deal of pleasure; I wanted to make my satisfaction known to others through this review, for the serious and professional work carried out by the A&C Yacht Brokers team.

We are yachting specialists and own a base for sailing rentals in the Caribbean. We sell our boats at the end of their leases or for tax reasons through A&C Yacht Brokers, who are sales specialists.

A&C Yacht Brokers deal with everything to do with the sale, from A to Z : they put the boat details on the www.boats-caribbean.com website, deal with all the administrative matters and, at the end of the transaction, ensure the boat’s delivery and its handover.

At A&C Yacht Brokers they also speak five languages, which is a big advantage when dealing with growing numbers of overseas clients.

Thank you to all the team,

I contacted A&C Yacht Brokers for the sale of my « X-TREM » catamaran, a Lavezzi 40 built by the Fountaine Pajot shipyard.

From my initial meeting with A&C Yacht Brokers, I met real professionals who understood my needs and, in a most open way, we fixed a sale price based on the market value and the condition of the boat.

The boat was put on sale on the www.boats-caribbean.com website and by the end of about a month, after considering several contacts, Dominique Amice found us a buyer.

Throughout this transaction I felt at ease and really appreciated the ‘transparent’ way in which the deal was carried out, which filled me with confidence.

I was looking for a catamaran to buy in the Antilles but was based in the south of France and got in touch with A&C Yacht Brokers initially by email.
After more regular contacts, we selected a few boats to view and came to see them in Martinique.
Dominique Amice, the head of A&C Yacht Brokers, dealt with everything for us, from hiring a car at the airport, finding a really nice little hotel near his house, as well as visiting several catamarans withus. Then, because we are difficult customers, he told us when we left that he would find a real gem, and a rare one at that, an Athena 38 Maestro.
A short while after, not only did he keep his word, but it was under our noses in France !
A&C Yacht Brokers are competent and knowledgeable about sailing and, furthermore, have an impressive client-base ranging from Australia to the USA, including South America and France also, of course. They deal with all customs and maritime formalities, but also with leasing and buying back through financial companies where necessary.
A big thank you to Dominique Amice and his team.

When we were looking for our first boat, we asked A&C Yacht Brokers to do the research for us, given the enormous choice available. After several visits, we decided on a Sun Odyssey 39DS, built in 2008, very well equipped and in immaculate condition.
Mr Amice advised us to get an expert’s opinion before buying and we were able to go over the boat
with him in the finest detail, which gave us a really good knowledge of what we were purchasing.
There were a few details to sort out – an engine service as well as an antifouling, and these were
carried out under the watchful eye of the A&C team as it was problematic for us to be on site given
that we live in Guadeloupe. The boat was handed over to us in Saint François.
I would like to congratulate Mr Amice and all his team for the quality of their services as well as for
their great kindness.
We are fully satisfied with this transaction, carried out with very competent professionals.
