About three weeks ago I went to Nautic Yacht Sales in Kemah Texas to meet up with my new Hunter 49. She looked a lot different then when I first saw her in the factory. Being from a manufacturing background, Quality & Service has always been a top priority. After spending a little time on her I quickly realized that you guys at Hunter Marine are doing it right. The fit and finishes are outstanding. It seemed the more I explored the more I could see the quality workmanship.
Last week we took her out into the gulf for a shake down cruise, we sailed for six hours. With winds 19-22 knots, seas 6-8’ her performance was flawless. Again I was very impressed. Although my total sailing experience for the last 20 years totals about 18 hrs, I’m finding I’m getting more comfortable and I’m gaining confidence every time I go out on her, a lot of this comes from Kevin and the guys at Nautic Yacht Sales. I’m truly impressed with their knowledge and professionalism. They’ve taken the time to explain in great detail the systems on board, what they do, how they work, and why they’re there.
On the water Captain Evan’s sailing experience shows. He has the ability to take the fear and stress of trying to sail a boat this size and made it into an enjoyable experience. He explains what he wants you to do, how to do it, and why it’s done this way, all while being asked a thousand questions. He is truly a professional. And Chris in sales has put in many hours taking care of every detail from placing the order to delivery to setup. He’s been available 24-7 to answer my hundreds of questions and has never failed to address any issues, He is very professional at his job and is also a good friend.
Greg, Hunter Marine is very fortunate to have this great organization representing them. This group of guys with all their talent, experience, knowledge and professionalism, will only help strengthen the Hunter name. I’m sure they will only continue to impress you like they have me.
