- A special kudos for Broker Brandon from Joe & Gail, two favorite members of the MMYB family.
- "We want to acknowledge Brandon Crigger, Sales Consultant at Merri-Mar Yacht Basin, Newburyport, MA. for his guidance and professionalism. Brandon was instrumental in the sale of our past two boats - 48' Cruiser, and 45' Regal - also, our Brig Inflatable.
- Brandon is always available by phone or in person at the marina. His knowledge of boats and their equipment was essential in dealing with other brokers, and potential customers. As with all sales, there is usually punch list. He made sure everything was addressed and completed in order to guarantee the sale of our boats, and avoid any last minutes surprises. Brandon handles difficult customers as a professional. He cares about the concerns of both the seller and the buyer. Brandon was a pleasure to have as our sales consultant for our previous boats, and is now searching for a new boat for us."
- Joe & Gail Santarlasci
- Besides the trusting partnership with Brandon, Joe & Gail have dock space, store their boat for the winter, and work closely with our Service Department for winterization, spring commissioning, and all of their service needs. They have been with Merri-Mar for 8+ years.
