Hi Colin
Just like to take this opportunity to say thank you for your help during our boating upgrade adventure and to lead us in the purchase of the vessel ‘Lauren’

With your time and patience you have helped us obtain a new addition to our family which will bring us many years of memories for our grown up kids and grandchildren.
​
Your honesty and commitment during the negotiations has helped us get the vessel of our dreams. I would highly recommend you to anyone looking to purchase.

Regards

Gary Milne

In over 12 months of looking for a new boat, I met and spoke with a lot of yacht brokers.
I am glad that circumstance eventually allowed me to purchase through CPY.  Colin is the most personable, knowledgable, genuine and helpful broker I met over that entire period.
His support prior to, during, and even after purchase was exceptional!  
When the shoe is on the other foot, and I eventually need to sell, I will look him up for sure.

Colin is the best broker I have known in my life as a sailor.
He gives very good advice, is very helpful and supports you well after the sale if necessary.
You can really trust him with your boat projects.

​‘We arrived in Australia, not knowing we were going to have to sell our sweetheart, ‘Carina’, after living aboard full time for six years. When the decision was made, I started by google searching for Brokers, making 15 calls! 
Colin was the only one who picked up his phone. I made an ‘instant’ connection with him. It was obvious immediately that he cared for his clients and understood the emotional turmoil that goes with selling your boat (home)! 
My husband told me ‘whatever you want dear!’ 
Colin made it happen smoothly, positively and efficiently. 
​If you are looking to take care of the sale of your boat, and you, then Colin is your man!  This is experience talking!’

​Hey mate just wanted to say thanks for the help with buying the boat, climbing the mast and sorting it on the mooring. Very stoked after a few sundowners on her that evening. Cheers, Bryden

Absolutely amazing service!
Being from Tassie, we made several phone calls to Brokers, Colin Plant was a stand out, others were fickle, or chasing the big bucks.  
Upon purchase of our Catamaran we were met by Colin, who was friendly as expected, answering every query and providing assistance to assure a smooth transaction. Colin’s after sales service has been sensational, he has assisted us with transportation of our supplies from Tassie to Qld, and when in Qld he  hooked us up with reputable business providers.  
We would recommend Colin to anyone who requires a Broker with excellent listening / communication skills and exceptional integrity.  

George & Rowena Hobart Tasmania.

Colin Plant puts his all into it, no matter the price of the vessel.
Sonsie, a Canadian-flagged Southern Cross 39, was stranded in Brisbane thanks to a certain coronavirus, and then thanks to domestic upheaval, ended up having to be sold.
I knew she was in good hands as soon as I met Colin. He is extremely knowledgeable, cheerful, and positive. He has the rare ability to be both easy-going and full-on commited, as demonstrated when he was suddenly fired by the other co-owner, only to be six months later offered the job of selling Sonsie again!
Because she'd sat neglected for so long there were numerous niggly things that needed resolving. Add in the different requirements for a boat to be sellable in Australia, and there was plenty to do and explain.
Colin got right on it, communicated everything in a timely, informative fashion, tackled each problem, resolved every issue, either by lining up the necessary trade or help, or by trouble-shooting and fixing things himself.
I am very grateful for everything he did, for getting a great deal for us, and for finding an enthusiastic buyer in double-quick time.
He was professional, upbeat, and helpful to the max. He also taught me some great Aussie slang :)
​What a great bloke and boat broker!

​A big thank you to Colin Plant of CP Yacht sales.


The purchase of the boat through Colin was made very simple and
nothing was too difficult. He responded quickly and helpfully to
all my questions, answered the many phone calls I made and had
everything in place to make the sale run very smoothly. His service
does not stop even after the purchase.

Would highly recommend Colin for any future boating purchases
or sales.

Thanks Colin.

​"Colin represented the owner in my recent boat purchase. It was a pleasure to work with Colin, he exercised a high degree of professionalism with patience and active listening. Colin understands his role is the purchase process and added value by providing the required information in a timely manner. There is a very personal touch to how Colin operates. He knows boats and people, a rare mix is many professions. I would not hesitate to seek out Colin as a buyer or sellers agent in future”

 ​I just completed the purchase of my yacht through Colin - finally realising a 30 year old dream! Being a dinghy racer in my younger days, I knew how to sail, but knew much less about yachts. Colin's helpfulness has been absolutely overwhelming - the task of taking ownership and preparing her for the sail home was made SO much easier than it would have been without his assistance. He truly is one of the worlds nice guys. If I ever decide to upgrade, he'll be my first contact!

I bought a medium size sailing yacht through Colin. I found Colin to be open and constructive through the sale negotiation which at times was tricky. Colin has been helpful throughout. Particularly when it was learnt the hull fitting for the propeller shaft required serious repair work, starting with removal of the shaft itself. Whilst I have been around boats for most of my life, we live about 6 hours travel time away from Mooloolaba. That amount of travel time doesn’t make it easy to sort out the typical issues of buying a boat needing work and getting it voyage ready to bring home when you are juggling family, work and life’s usual commitments. So I can definitely say it’s not a case of what you know but who Colin knows. He has provided me with a mine of useful local information and people to contact which would have taken me hours to establish. As my wife said, “You were very lucky buying a boat through Colin”. I’ll add two things: 1. I have a huge amount of respect for Colin and found him to be a likeable and naturally helpful person. Colin is not one of my mates but a person I’d be happy to have as a mate. If/when I meet him in the future I’ll be pleased to see and chat with him. 2. I have never been asked by Colin to write a Google Review and I have never felt motivated to write one for any business or person before. However, I wanted to put aside time to write this as a gesture of thanks.

​I would like to thank Colin for his professional, hardworking and organised approach he has maintained during the successful sale of our yacht, Suffren. I have always been hesitant to engage brokers whilst selling yachts but have found my interactions with Colin to be very much positive. If you choose to use Colin to help sell your boat, you won't find a more honest and comprehensive service, representing great value for money anywhere in Australia. James McArthur-SY Suffren

IAN BROWN, 'JADE ROSE' :

Thanks Colin for great service throughout the year.
I highly recommend your service to anyone.

JOHN WORTH  (UK)  'DUSTY'
​This note is just to thank you for your friendship & most excellent & efficient service as my agent for selling my Yacht, basically twice in one week.  I hope we stay in touch & wish you every success with your business & for the future.

ROGER BLACKWELL  (New owner, 'Too Cool')
As the new owner of Too Cool, I really want to say Thank you Colin!
You provided a great service, very easy to deal with, incredibly helpful at all times.
Service above and beyond the call of duty, it was a real pleasure and I would clearly recommend you to anyone in the market.
Boat is safe in Sydney now, awaiting antifoul and then the taste of Pittwater.

Leesa Price (From women who sail Australia)
After having a terrible time with many brokers throughout NSW & QLD we were put onto Colin Plant of CPYACHTSALES of Sunshine Coast by one of the members of our sailing group.
Thank you to whoever recommended Colin as he was absolutely amazing to deal with.  We have been the owners of our beautiful new home for 6 weeks now and are enjoying every moment. DEC 2018

Jacinta Hayward
We recommended Colin our friend for 9 years and always treats everyone the same.  He gets back to you when he says he will and is always obliging.  He will find a way to fix something when it seems impossible.  Remember  the motto 'Betta Call Col'.  Dec 2018
