Jason,
Once again, we’d like to thank you for assisting us with the purchase of our 2010 Cruiser Yacht 360 Express. It was a pleasure finally meeting you after all these months of emails and phone calls between us.Your professionalism and expertise helped to ensure the smooth transition and positive experience we had. Since we were purchasing from Canada to the US, your knowledge and demeanor helped put our minds at ease. You communicated effectively by answering all our questions in a timely manner and made many recommendations which proved to be beneficial. We would highly recommend you to anyone thinking about using your services to sell or purchase a boat.
Charlie Sarling & Karen Cosmadelis
Hello Jason,
Hope you are well and that the business is good. We wanted to write to you to say how much we appreciated all the work that you have done in the purchase of our boat. We really loved your approach and your disponibility to answer all of our question and request. Thank you very much for everything you've done and we won't hesitate one second to do business with you again and to recommended you to people we know.
We really enjoy the boat and we are very happy with our choice. She fullfill all of our expectations. The trip back to Quebec went really well and we didn't have any problem at all. Everything in the boat is working properly too but .we have to learn a little, though !
We hope that you will have a good summer and if you pass by Quebec city we will really enjoy if you stop by to see us !
Have a nice day Jason !

Good evening, Wanted to thank each of you for your help in my purchase of my new (to me) Regal from Jason at Crawford Yachts. Living in the US and buying it in Canada created a few challenges and made the process a little bit harder but with your all's help it went pretty smoothly. I believe I found the boat that will fit my needs as well as my families needs for several years. I knew what boat I wanted and what I wanted was too hard to find around my area, without buying brand new which didn't quite meet my budget. I know you all had to put extra time in to get everything completed, paperwork signed, delivered scheduled, boat lifts, customs worked out, etc., etc. So thank you for everything. Each of your respective businesses earned a thumbs up from me!
Hope you have a good summer and if I ever have someone buying a boat out of Canada and need your services I will send them your way!
Thanks!
Shawn Pickens
Jason,
As my wife and I were searching for our next boat we did not want to deal with brokers but only buy private. Our experience with past brokers have not been good experiences and put a sour taste in our mouth, as we found most of them told you what you wanted to hear in hopes the customer doesn’t know anything, well until they met me. You only get one shot with me and let me say, Jason, rose to the challenge. If Jason didn’t know the answer to your question he would tell you, and state he will find out instead of telling BS to keep you interested.
When you’re spending a lot of money you need to trust whom your dealing with. Jason has changed our thoughts on dealing with a broker and made this experience for us a great one. I look forward to dealing with Jason on our next future purchase.
Don’t change the way you do things Jason. It is respected and commendable dealing with someone that has a passion for a product and wants the buyer to feel good in dealing with you. I wouldn’t – and won’t – hesitate to refer you to others.
Keep up the great work!!!
Taras & Athena
Jason,
I know Debbie sent a message to you as well, but you surely deserve a shout out from everyone whose Lives you came in contact with!.
You are a CLASS Act !!!! Dont ever forget it! and wherever your next steps in your journey will lead you, you will be sure to land on your feet. Spend some time with your wife and family to talk about any changes forthcoming and realize that as you go through the process of re-inventing yourself for your next role, if it happens, You will SUCCEED!!!
I for one have the utmost confidence in you and I thank you for the time you spent with us when we purchased the 390.
Sincerely, and with a Boatload of Gratitude

Hello Jason
I mean that most sincerely – good people are like cream, they always rise to the top, and you are a very good person, and employee.
I can tell you that because I have been in business for 45 years and the radar in my head has allowed me to identify the better people in business.
My radar has you on its high definition screen.
So, remain committed to the highest possible levels of personal integrity as you go forward and do not be tempted by “quick fixes”.
Remember that business is really nothing more than working with relationships and relationships always involve people.
You have very strong people skills and you know your market and product well.
It has been truly a pleasure dealing with you over the past 17 years. I wish you all the best as this situation sorts itself out. I am sure you will do just fine whatever that ends up being. Stay in touch.
Take care,
Peter
Jason,
Please feel free to request a reference letter if you think the word of an old retired guy is worth anything!
Cheers,
Loren
Jason,I think regardless of what happens your personal brand with boaters is well established and well known.
Let us know how you make out with this and if we can help in any way.
Best of luck.
Bill Currie
Jason
I enjoy dealing with you. Your honesty and followup is refreshing in this day and age. Please keep in touch. As a boater I have 2ftitis.
I would like to find a 45ft sportfish. The boat I have is turn-key and common sence says I should stay with what I have. So much for that.
Chuck
I heard from Al Fernie, but the article seemed status quo would prevail. Guys like you are rare Jason......please stay in touch, I am also glad I was part of your $108 Million record...impressive.

Jason
Thank you for the very professional and heartfelt letter you sent Terry. We have spoken to many friends and boaters about your expertise and professionalism. I imagine your future will be bright because you have blessed us with your knowledge, professionalism, and attention to detail. Your kindness and compassion shines through in your business dealings. My hope is you will be rewarded for your efforts.
Terry and I went through a similar situation with General Motors after 33 years of complete allegiance to the company. We're happier and much more comfortable now than we ever were before.
Our summer on our 39 Cruisers Yacht was magical.
Thank you,
Debbie Andrzejewski

Sorry to hear this Jason, after 18 years. You know the old saying, when one door closes... another one opens. I sincerely this happens to you. Perhaps, go into business yourself on brokering? Perhaps I can help.
Russel
Hi Jason,
If you need any references,you can certainly add me to the list. I wish I had more ties to the boating industry so I could lend a hand. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I know you are a hustler and won't be sitting on your hiney.
All the best to you and your family
