“Works to find the best deals for his clients”

I have known Rex for over 40 years in the yacht business.  During that time,
I have found him to be very tenacious in his work to find the best deals for
his customers to get the vessel they will be pleased with and enjoy.  I have
worked with him in my position as VP of Customer Service at Uniflite from
1975 thru 1985.  As well as my position as a NAMS Certified Marine surveyor
from 1985 to 2016.

“Simply a great person to work with”

I’ve had the pleasure of purchasing three boats through Rex, a Tiara
powerboat, a C&C sailboat and a Cobalt bowrider—and each experience has
reinforced why he’s the best in the business. His deep knowledge of boats
and genuine passion for the boating world set him apart, ensuring that every
purchase was the right fit for my needs. Rex operates with absolute
integrity, always putting his clients first. His persistence in finding the perfect
boat and his sharp negotiating skills have saved me both time and money.
Beyond his nautical expertise, he’s simply a great person to work with. He’s
honest, professional, and always looking out for your best interests. If you’re
in the market for a boat, Rex is the guy you want in your wheelhouse!

“Rex is my friend”

We purchased a 60 Hatteras enclosed bridge from Rex. The purchase was
seamless. He has always been there after the purchase. Rex helped us move
our Hatteras from the Bay Area to the Northwest. When another friend of
ours wanted a boat we sent Bert to Rex. Rex was able to help him negotiate
and purchase 52 Hatteras. Over the years we have developed a wonderful
personal friendship. Rex is my friend, valued consultant, and a lifetime
resource.

“He is dependable”

I don’t think I would ever purchase my boat without Rex. After months of
fruitless boat searching, I was introduced to Rex. With Rex’s help I found
exactly the boat I was looking for. He then effectively led negotiations for the
fairest price. Rex has selflessly shared his expertise with me as I navigated
the nuances of boat ownership. He is dependable and committed to the
success of his clients.

“Our best family memories”

Over the years we have purchased several boats from Rex Martin at Seamark Yachts
(five transactions buying/selling). Throughout every purchase he has listened closely to
what the family needs for the specific adventure. Even more helpful was that after we
purchased the boats, he guided us through the trials and tribulation of owning and
enjoying our boats. He has made the process of negotiating the purchase or sale
painless, and we have been well served over the years resulting in some of our best
family memories. He’s not just our yacht broker, but rather we have developed a
wonderful friendship. We would definitely retain him again for any future boating needs!

“Rex was my go-to-guy”

I was introduced to Rex through two of his satisfied clients. Rex got to know
me and my boating objectives long before I was actively in the market to
buy. When I was ready to purchase, Rex was my go-to guy. We evaluated a
lot of on-line boat opportunities. Rex used his network to evaluate the
condition and reputation of a number of boats offered for sale. We narrowed
our choices to the few worth pursuing. Rex helped with the expression of our
offer, sea trial, revised offer and deal close. His experience and network of
experts helped with the documentation, insurance, delivery and post
purchase work in a quality boatyard. I am grateful for Rex and his guidance
through every step of the process. He is my friend and ongoing mentor
through my boating career. Thank you, Rex.

“Honest and works hard for his clients”

… I must admit that over the years I have met two brokers who made a positive impression as being trustworthy, honest, knowledgeable, experienced and both believe in, and displayed integrity. Rex Martin in Lafayette, California (across from San Francisco) and Alan Stowell of Alan’s Yacht Sales in Fort Lauderdale, Florida … both are honest and work hard for their clients. Alan and Rex are not corporate minions and don’t waste your time just to meet the sales projects and profit margins mandated by the big guys.

“Absolutely fantastic”

Absolutely fantastic, Rex! The boat behaves flawlessly, I thank God every day for your expert guidance and friendship!

“Honest, considerate and thoughtful”

In the past fifteen years I have purchased three boats through Rex… Rex is honest, considerate and thoughtful and has my highest recommendation.

“Not your typical yacht broker, an advocate for his clients”

Rex is not what I consider a typical yacht broker; his ongoing advocacy for clients after sale is not common in his profession and is a large reason why his clients are so loyal… When one of my clients inquires about selling or purchasing a new boat Rex is the one broker I recommend without hesitation.
