We are here to help with your cross border transactions and support you as you navigate duties/USMCA, taxes, cross-border transportation, customs, and proper paperwork like USCG notarized bill of sales and statements of origin.

Service and Details:

Testimonials

What people had to say

Broker: Andrew Pleasance

Andrew Pleasance was exceptional to work with. As a first time boat owner, he took the time to educate me, answer my questions and followed up promptly on all issues. In cases where someone else (owner, marina, etc) did not accomplish something, Andrew would do it himself without being asked. The boat brokerage experience was excellent. Thanks!

Bob L

Broker: Andrew Pleasance

Andrew Pleasance was an excellent broker! I highly recommend him to sell your boat.

Deborah L

Broker: Colin Bussiere

Colin was extremely helpful in explaining the process and assisting in the finalisation of the purchase. It was a pleasure to work with him and we would certainly recommend him to others wishing to purchase a boat.

James C

Broker: Jordan Zelt

Jordon is a rockstar. I have been in touch with him over the years about the general boating industry and he is always available to chat and give insights. His biggest problem will be finding me a new boat as I need a new one right now and I am very particular lol . He is a tremendous asset to your company and to be honest I would not use anyone else to sell a boat and any boat I find even if another broker has it listed I want Jordan to represent me on the purchase.
