    Exceptional Service and Expertise - Highly Recommend! I recently had the pleasure of working with Joe Sciuto at Islandside Yacht Sales. From start to finish, Joe made what could have been a complex process incredibly smooth and straightforward. Joe’s expertise in the boating industry is unmatched. Whether I was selling my previous boat or purchasing my new one, Joe handled everything with the highest level of professionalism and care. He took the time to understand my needs on both transactions offering valuable insights and advice that helped me make informed decisions. The entire process was seamless. Joe and the team at Islandside Yacht Sales took care of all the details, from the paperwork to the sea trials, ensuring that everything went off without a hitch. His dedication to ensuring both transactions were successful was evident in every interaction. Joe’s commitment to providing exceptional service, combined with his extensive knowledge made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.

    We recently purchased a new 33 Grady White with the help of Islandside yacht sales. In a competitive market, Joe and Ian where focused on finding us the boat we where looking for and they where prepared to act rapidly when she was found. Their experience was evident from the beginning. We are very much looking forward to our first full season on her. Next Islandside yacht sales helped us sell our previous boat quickly and for a great price. I would not hesitate to recommend there services to my closest of friends.

    I mentioned to Joe that I was thinking about selling my boat in the spring. Joe said why not sell it now. Meanwhile it’s the beginning of January and I’m like how do you sell a boat in the northeast in the absolute dead of winter. But Joe said you can sell a boat anytime and he was right. Two weeks later I was signing a purchase and sale agreement and getting way more money than I thought I could get for my boat. There was constant communication and updates throughout the sale and Joe made the whole process completely stress free. Joe is a total professional and I look forward to working with him on the purchase of my next vessel.

    Joe and Islandside Yacht Sales recently helped me complete the purchase of a 30’ Grady White from across the country (I live in CA and the boat was in MA). Joe made the process incredibly seamless, especially given the hurdle of the distance. He set me up with great recommendations for surveys and shipping, and was incredibly responsive and a delight to work with. I would strongly recommend Joe and Islandside Yacht Sales to anyone else looking to purchase a boat from long-distance (or close by)!

    As first time boat buyers we hit the jackpot with Joe. He walked us through all of our options for styles of boats, gave us a very clear understanding of the finances of both buying and owning a boat – leaving no surprises. His knowledge of the industry and thoughtful approach to selling led us to our Dyer 29. He made the experience fun and his passion is evident. The process was enjoyable because Joe's approach is focused on building good relationships and the sales follow.

    Ian and Joe are great to work with. We had been shopping for 2 years, and we got serious in the last 9 months. They were great to work with as we sorted thru the market to find the right boat, in the right condition, at the right price. Thanks guys-

    I've known Joe Sciuto for 10 years, but I didn't really understand what a boat broker did. That is until he just sold my boat in record time, even doing a showing at 8 in the morning the day after the 4th of July. Sold in 3 days and now helping us find our next boat. Supremely professional, with great communication, and he handled everything from start to finish. So happy I had him help me, and I can't recommend him enough. Thank you Joe.

    Caring, personalized guidance (at my request) and a vast depth of knowledge are abundant with Islandside Yacht Sales. Both in purchasing my boat (in fact Joe recommended one that wasn't listed with a broker; and this was such a perfect boat for me in so many ways - they truly want to do what's best for you) and in selling it two years later. What a no brainer it was to list this with them. There was no fluff; just help with an immense amount of knowledge that one could only attain by literally living and breathing boats and boating for decades. Thank you so much Joe and Ian!! I got lucky finding you. Can't wait to find my next boat with Islandside Yacht Sales.
