Herb was a great help to me in the sale of my Sabre 36 and purchase of the sailboat that replaced it. His vast experience and guidance kept me from making some bad decisions and I appreciated having him as my advocate.

To whom it may concern,
This is a letter of recommendation for Herb Sternberg who helped us sell our Tartan sailboat. We had used quite a few different brokers over the years in the process of buying and eventually selling our boat. That being said, Herb was by far the single best I've ever had the opportunity of working beside. He was professional, punctual, and most importantly
incredibly motivated to help us sell our boat at the best price possible.
Herb is trustworthy and knowledgeable in the US and international boat market. He will help you sell your boat at the best price and will give you straight answers to your questions. He was also invaluable during negotiation, inspection, and finance operations. I would recommend Herb and his company Edward Yacht Sales to any of my close friends looking to buy or sell a boat. Prepare yourself to laugh; however, as he is also one of the funniest and most interesting guys I've worked beside in general.
Dear Herb,
It was such a pleasure conducting business with you. The deal was done in a very timely manner, with such personalized attention on your part. My boat was sold sooner than I expected because of your expertise and attention to detail.
I would recommend you to all the people I know with not a doubt.
I thank you again for all your help.
With regards,
Herb was everything we were looking for in a broker to sell our boat - knowledgeable, responsive and available. Pricing it right and having a solid, informative website made it possible to have our boat sold in less than a month. Perfect!
Herb Sternberg helped me locate, inspect, and negotiate the purchase of my dream boat.
Although I didn’t know Herb before I started looking for a boat, he did such a great job and made me feel so comfortable that I now consider Herb to be family.
Herb is conscientious, thoughtful, dependable, friendly, punctual and has all the traits I would want from anyone helping me buy a boat.
