“Working with Williams & Smithells was an absolute pleasure in the purchase of my boat in Greece. Buying a boat so far from my home base in California could have been a daunting experience, but their knowledge, professionalism and commitment to everyone understanding the reality of a purchase in a foreign country was invaluable. I would not hesitate for a moment to work with Williams & Smithells again” Ron Moler

Bought Evasion 32 – Adam Mercieca

mark — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 07:31:51 +0000

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Williams and Smithells. I received a truly professional service from start to finish despite the very modest purchase price of the vessel. The Yacht was purchased whilst I was overseas with work and the assistance provided in coordinating surveys, lift outs and other requirements was very refreshing indeed. I would recommend Williams and Smithells to anybody looking to buy or sell a yacht and will certainly make them my first port of call when looking to upgrade in the future. Adam & Katherine Mercieca

Dear Mark, Stephen and Jonty I would like to thank and congratulate you all in selling the boat in what was a remarkably short space of time, especially given the economic woes of the world and Greece. A great job. Feel free to use me as a reference if you wish. Best regards Michael Curlewis
