I have captained several of their vessels and worked closely with one of their brokers, Capt. Rupert Covell, who is not only an ace captain with an attention to detail, but also an excellent communicator with a strong code of ethics. I am confident that anyone wishing to buy or sell a yacht with Rupert’s help will be very pleased with the result. Extremely knowledgeable and reliable!

I met Paul over 20 years ago when we were in pilot training together, we were both deployed in theater together back in 2006 and we had the pleasure of working together as colleagues at the same firm when our Active Duty service was complete. For all the years I’ve known him there is no one better at delivering on exactly what he has promised and providing the best service possible. Yachting and boating are shared passions for us both and I recently discussed running a yacht as a business with Paul. He hosted me at the Newport International Boat Show, he had the right appointments made and ensured we gained the most value for our time at the show. Whether you want a yacht for personal use or to run as a business venture Paul is an absolute must have person on your team.

Kenia Deulofeu is a quintessential go getter. Her professionalism puts you at ease allowing you to explore possibilities when considering a search that may span the globe. I love the opportunity to work with a woman consultant in this industry. Kenia also being a luxury home agent is an added benefit i allowing for a seamless process.

First and foremost, Captain Rick’s knowledge of the yacht market is impeccable. What sets Captain Rick apart is not just his knowledge but also his dedication to his clients. He was always available to answer my questions and address any concerns I had, no matter how big or small. In addition to his professionalism, Captain Rick Milroy’s passion for yachts and the maritime world is infectious. His enthusiasm for the industry and his love for the sea are apparent in every conversation, making the experience of working with him not only informative but also enjoyable.
In conclusion, I highly recommend Captain Rick Milroy as a trusted yacht broker. He is a true expert in his field, a dedicated advocate for his clients, and a pleasure to work with.

Paul from JFA Yacht has been helping me locate my first boat. He has done overtime work to learn what my needs and wants are and in many ways he has identified multiple areas where what I should be looking for haven’t matched my initial impressions. I have learned tons. I look forward to working with him and JFA yacht into the future on this purchase, and the next!

James & Katy, Thank you for all that you have done to see us off on our dream. You’ve both been awesome!

James, you’re the best broker anywhere, you’ve gone above and beyond what any other broker should or would do. Thank you.

Katy, thanks for your support and friendship. We are lucky to have found you both.

Captain Z just recently helped us purchase our first sail boat. he kept the entire experience stress free! he is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic! the best is that after closing he has been right there helping us organize all of the equipment on board and even helped us move the boat to it’s new slip. he also graciously provided us…

James Fachtmann is one of the few people you come across that has that rare combination of passion and expert knowledge focused solely on one thing. The yacht and marine industry. He continually keeps his knowledge base up to date whether its by visiting boat manufacturers, researching and writing articles in yacht trade magazines or just plain curiosity, he knows…

I have recently purchased a Fountaine Pajot Saona 47 catamaran through James Fachtmann and was quite happy with the service and support he provided me throughout the process. James cares about the happiness of his customer not just in the near term but also for the long term and clearly feels he has an obligation to treat his customer ethically…

I have recently had the pleasure of selling my yacht with the help of James Fachtmann. The service, enthusiasm and professionalism he demonstrated during the transaction was beyond my expectations and I would, in fact already have, recommended his services to some of my best friends. The ease of the selling process was in large part due to his diligence…

Thank you for all that you have done to see us off on our dream. You’ve both been awesome! James, you’re the best broker anywhere, you’ve gone above and beyond what any other broker should or would do. Thank you. Cheers!
