 We recently listed our dive vessel with Bob, moments before the pandemic  hit and businesses started shutting down.  We were not optimistic at our  prospects.  Bob delivered an offer at basically full asking price within a few  months of listing.  We will forever be grateful for his professional assistance  through the process.

Bob was great at handling our purchase of the Island Hopper, that is the main  boat in our tour company". Luckily he was both representing the owner and us in the  deal! He is always looking for the next boat for us too.

We recently co-brokered a boat with Bob Leadbetter and could not  have been more pleased.  He is a real gentleman and one of the most competent  and professional brokers we have ever dealt with.    We highly recommend Bob and  hope to work with him again in the very near future.

In 2019 Bob Ledbetter helped me purchase out first 46 Coast Guard Newton dive  special.  I had been looking to try and purchase one for a few years.  As with  any large purchase things arise that never make for a smooth purchase.  Bob was  able to help overcome these issues and answer any and all questions along the  way.  I would recommend Bob to anyone and I will use Bob again to help purchase  our next dive boat as well.

  Bob nailed it!!! We listed our 46 Newton with Bob and had an  acceptable offer in just a few weeks. He was able to help us close in record  time.  My recommendation to anyone looking to sell a boat fast is list it with  Bob. He is the “easy button”.

  Working with Bob was a great experience. Being in the business myself, as a  captain and a broker, I’m better at captaining. However, understanding the  process of purchasing a used vessel, accomplishing a survey, rejecting the boat  initially, then coming to an agreement a few months later, all when the boat was  more than 1100 miles north of us, was a feat. Bob handled everything  efficiently, effectively, and professionally. Thank you Bob,
