When I decided to part ways with my Hunter 36, I only made one call. John had been the seller's listing broker when I purchased the boat and it became clear to me during that purchase process that his knowledge of Hunters was unmatched in the Bay Area. If you are looking for someone to get your boat on the market in a week "As Is", John is not your guy. While the boat was well maintained, John has connections to a talented network of low cost repair workers that were able to get the boat to near Bristol condition over the course of several weeks. While it required a little upfront investment, this approach shortened the time on the market and enabled us to get a price close to ask and at the high end of the comps. If you are looking for a talented and highly knowledgeable broker to provide a turnkey solution to maximize sale value on your sailboat, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend John. While I haven't used him on a purchase, I am certain his knowledge and eye for detail would benefit any buyer equally.
If you have landed on this page because of Google-stop. You’re done searching for your yacht broker. I can’t imagine a more dedicated, knowledgeable, and kind broker than John Kuony. Once John understood what we wanted in a sailboat, he helped us find a great boat for our family. Without him, we would still be searching. Even though the sale has closed, he continues to be a wonderful resource and is happy to provide guidance and expertise. John is always happy to take our calls. I can’t imagine buying or selling a boat without John!
