Anybody have any experience with Sunseeker club in New Rochelle?

Nope because nobody has heard of it untill you mentioned it .. unless you yourself happen to be on the books of Sunseeker hence the question ..

Plus why take the long road for a short cut askin here when you could have simply emailed Sunseeker direct they do have a website and various offices around the world lol



If your not SSker employeee then my apologies

The Sunseeker Club is the name of the Sunseeker dealer in New York. They use to have several locations from Maryland to New York, but I think they closed or sold the other locations. It is, as far as I know, the official dealer in the New York area. The name isn't the best...

I use to see them represent Sunseeker at several mid-atlantic boat shows.

I never had any problems with the guys at New Rochelle and the owner and the salesman that I dealt with certainly knew their stuff about Sunseekers.

There as alot of Politics going on with Sunseeker UK, Sunseeker USA, Sunseeker Florida etc etc. The most successful broker and the most knowledgeable on any model is Rick Obey of Atlantic Yacht & Ship in Fort Lauderdale however the Florida area was sold to a Mexican who moved the sales office down to Miami leaving a token one in Lauderdale. Atlantic yacht & Ship "Northeast" became partners with the Sunseeker Club in New Rochelle but then there was a parting of the ways and Sunseeker Club held onto the New York Dealer network and AYS Northeast became the dealer above New York and south of New York to the Florida Border.

I would have no problem dealing with the Sunseeker Club but then again I would go to Rick Obey if I was buying anything over 50 foot.

and before you ask I do not work for Sunseeker UK, Sunseeker Club or Atlantic Yacht & Ship and alot of us have heard of them

....now what is Scotland, is that a city in England ?

That's Castaways. I believe the fellow there is Alan. It's been about 3 years since I've been in there, but I've had several clients who've used them and were quite satisfied (44, 46 & 60 Peds and a 62 Man). Just be careful getting in there. The Channel is well marked, but there are a couple of nasty rocks in that area. I suggest coming in between City Island and Hart Island rather than the route in from the east past Davids Island. That one is a bit tricky, but again, well marked.

Dealing with Sunseeker Florida is like holding your breath and trying not to pull your teeth out......It's amazing how it takes 2 months to have a shower door that broke (shattered) while sitting at the dock and nobody taking a shower and on a $4 million yacht. Customer service at it's best........

There's been a lot of discussion on YF recently about the trade off of 'save a buck' vs; pay more to hire the right people. Glass has defects. Sometimes they go boom. Glad nobody was hurt, but we understand that these things happen, Unfortunately companies aren't carrying a lot of inventory these days, because it's just too expensive. 2 months is a long time, but that's the world we're in these days. But the attitude, no. He should be apologetic and as helpful as possible. sounds like some one's in the wrong job, or worse, it's an attitude that's fostered by the company. That became very prevalent in the 90's when houses and boats were in huge demand. As Bob Dylan sang, "the times they are a'changin/. Right now companies need customers more than customers need luxury products. I think companies would be better served looking to the 60' and '70 for their business models rather than the late 90'-early 2000's.

Sunseeker Club

I know the Sunseeker Club well. I have bought 3 yachts from them. Happy to describe my experiences to anyone that is considering purchasing from them. Without getting into details here it is doubtful I would do business with them again as a dealer... the product is wonderful though.
