While growing up in South Carolina, Doug began sailing in the mid 70’s on Hilton Head Island, with Hobie Cats, Prindles and NACRA 5.2’s, in the mid 70’s. From there Doug progressed to racing cats and sailing instruction. He has owned numerous sail and power boats over the years, but has concentrated mainly on power boats and cruising sailboats in recent years.
Doug has been in Yacht sales since moving to Bradenton in 1998. His background for the past 19 years, has been in both new and brokerage. Doug’s main focus is on brokerage motoryachts, cruising sailboats, trawlers, express and sportfish, with a special emphasis on Downeast and pilothouse yachts. His background in new yacht sales include Pearson True North, MJM, Nordic Tug, Solo, Island Gypsy, Pacific Trawler, Eastern Yachts, Shannon, Hunter, Catalina and Albin. While a new boat dealer of Albin Marine for the last 9 years of their operation, Doug became known as the “Albin authority” here in Florida. He is more than happy to discuss the Albin, and any other vessel market, with any interested parties. His hard work and straightforward, honest approach has brought him a good amount of repeat and referral business. The sign you are doing things the right way. Let Doug put his experience to work for you.
Testimonials
Doug Jenkins worked with us for six months as we navigated offers on three different boats and multiple surveys until we found the vessel we felt was right for us. All during the COVID-19 lockdowns and various boat issues, Doug was there to help us, even finding us a Captain to help with the delivery.
I cannot say enough good things about my recent boat buying experience and in particular about my fantastic broker, Doug Jenkins, with Edwards Yacht Sales. Doug is professional, knowledgeable, personable and utterly dependable. There were many moving parts to my equation and Doug, with patient determination, seamlessly aligned them all with great attention to timing and detail. I believe that I have purchased my final boat, and I would urge anyone looking for the same to enlist Doug for guidance with the process!
This is the 2nd Yacht I've purchased through Edwards Yachts Sales with the much valued assistance of Doug Jenkins. Their attention to my desires and needs in a vessel were listened to and my "perfect vessel " found. Doug's patience and relentless pursuit to find the last yacht a Cheoy Lee 65 meant many yacht viewings and a couple of survey's and sea trials. But all went well and again I am the owner of the yacht I searched for. I might also add the after sales service I received was and is exemplary!
Great experience with Doug Jenkins. Smooth and easy throughout the buying experience. Very helpful and he went the extra mile to make sure I was prepared to make my 1000 mile journey. Bryant |
We are very busy with our new boat - a boat Doug Jenkins found for us. We actually met Doug when we looked at another boat. That boat was not for us, but he took the time to chat with us about what we really wanted and promised to let us know if he ever found one for sale that was right for us. And a few months later, that's exactly what happened! We never considered working with a broker to buy a boat, but now we would never recommend buying one without a broker. That is, if the broker is Doug Jenkins. He has a wealth of knowledge about boats and boating and a great network of contacts. It seemed we needed his help, advice, and guidance throughout the entire process. Thank you, Doug, for everything.
