I was very lucky to have (virtually) bumped into Diego while I was searching for a contemporary west coast trawler from my home in the San Francisco Bay area. There was a really low inventory and many powerboats in this area are either express cruisers or euro-style boats which did not fit my style. Diego knew what I wanted and he started an extensive search across his network and he educated me along the way as there are just so many things to consider when purchasing a boat, especially during a pandemic. He found several good candidates and helped me go through the pros and cons for each one and was a true and trusted advisor that I could count on to help me make the best choice.He helped me locate a great boat in Washington State and did an awesome virtual tour that led me and my partner to head up there for a boat-buying-vacation a few weeks later. Diego organized all of the surveys using the best local survey companies and we had an awesome day of sea trials and doing a complete shakedown of the boat. Diego was literally the first guy at the dock and the last guy to leave. After putting in an offer, Diego provided expert negotiation with the selling broker and helped ensure I was getting the most value for my money. In the end, we closed on the deal and Diego was able to help me get the boat transported from Bellingham down to San Francisco and before the weather window closed for that long trip. A few weeks after, he stopped by the new homeport in Sausalito, CA and we had a nice post-purchase follow-up.I would highly recommend Diego Gomez from Worth Avenue Yachts as he has extensive experience, deep industry connections, and he is an absolutely genuine and fun person to work with. Thank you Diego, it was an incredible outcome!Kind regards, Don Clark, Sausalito, CA.

If you are looking to buy or sell a Yacht you need to contact Diego Gomez at Worth Avenue Yachts! Whether you are local or in another State, Diego can help! His wealth of knowledge and professional attitude and experience helped us tremendously! I first met Diego two years ago when he was the listing yacht broker for the last boat we purchased. During that experience, I immediately knew that if I ever sold my boat I would call Diego! He knows the boat market start to finish and has been around long enough to know all the players. His expansive experience, knowledge, professionalism and negotiating skills give you peace of mind. I recommend anyone going through this process to call Diego whether you are buying or selling a boat! You will be glad you did!

The team at Worth Avenue Yachts is extremely knowledgeable and friendly! Their experience in the industry is unmatched. If you are going to buy, sell, build or charter a yacht this is the team to contact!

Diego worked with us over a 9 month period helping us find the boat of our dreams. We had owned a boat before but still somewhat new to the boating world. He asked the right questions, helped us explore numerous options and ultimately guided us to the exact right boat that matched our needs. What’s amazing about Diego is his knowledge, patience, follow-through and diligence. Even after we bought the boat he helped us build the right connections for maintenance and upkeep. It’s now a few months after we closed the transaction and he’s still readily available for any help we ask of him. I couldn’t give a higher recommendation, Diego is a star!

I have worked in the Yacht industry as a Captain and yacht manager for 24 years. In those 24 years have had many interactions with yacht brokers from around the US. I meet Niel in 2004 and have exclusively worked with him since then. Neil Steenkamp is at the top of the game! Niel understands the importance of trust and professionalism! I have proudly recommended his services to my most trusted clients as well as my own family.Respectfully,Ryan Davis

Great location for a yacht brokerage. You simply walk straight down to 100+ yachts on the docks or smaller vessels. At the heart of the yacht show, so perfect to enjoy that VIP experience twice a year. Would definitely recommend working with them There!

Worth Avenue Yachts and Ray Prokorum in particular are professional and responsive to both the seller and the buyers needs. Ray’s experience and guidance help to bring two parties together for a successful partnership. Not often do you find someone this dedicated to the happiness of both parties. He and his team went out of their way to cover all of the little details when marketing our yacht. He did the same for the buyer while helping to expedite the sale, sea trial and survey as well as shipment of the boat. We will look to Worth Avenue Yachts in the future to find our next vessel.

It is with great pleasure that we recommend Diego Gomez, having recently purchased a yacht through him after months of searching, and working closely together.In the simplest description, Diego is an extremely well networked yacht broker, with a very high emotional quotient, patient, proactive, and most of all, exceptionally trustworthy.His approach could be considered cradle to grave. When we met, we had a general idea of what we was looking to purchase, but through countless 30 minute calls, at all hours and days of the week, he was able to refine and target the deeper reasons why certain boats appealed to us, and why others did not. He got to know our family, and made sure to consider their needs throughout our search.The most memorable moment of our experience with Diego was when I called him to ask about a boat I had some questions about (and ended up being the boat we bought). He happened to be in San Diego that day (Super Bowl Sunday), and the boat was in Dana Point, about an hour north. He tried to setup a meeting with the listing agent, who wasn’t willing to meet that day, but Diego drove up anyway, not knowing exactly where the boat was or if he would have access. Somehow he found the boat, we did a FaceTime viewing from the dock, and we decided to make an offer…that is service!We have felt completely supported at every turn, comforted in Diego’s organization, and that he was looking several steps ahead as we navigated the search, negotiation, closing, and aftersales service process. He has become a personal friend.Diego’s read on the market and industry was invaluable. He proactively recommended walking away from deals that were not right. He was solutions minded throughout the inevitable challenges that arose, and his steady, positive, unflappable attitude made all the difference. We are still working together to optimize the boat we purchased, and build a service network for the new boat.Diego’s experience working in all of the major west coast yachting hubs was evident in his vast network of service providers. When Diego made an introduction, doors opened, and in such a small industry, that speaks volumes about his reputation amongst his peers.We look forward to enjoying our new boat for years to come, and could not have had a better experience working with Diego.

Diego Gomez is truly world class. Most excellent communication, most excellent client base resourcing, most excellent negotiating and protecting our interests. Would buy or sell a boat with Worth Avenue Yachts again and again. Thank you!

The team at Worth Avenue Yachts Seattle is outstanding. Their knowledge of Hatteras Yachts for sale along with all the local yachting itineraries from Roche Harbor through the San Juan Islands in the Pacific Northwest plus the professionalism of the entire team will have our family yachting with them for years to come. We appreciate the time on the water ;)

Service in selling our boat was professional, reliable, resourceful, and collegial. Scott did a very fine job representing us and combined with his office partner, Lindsey, was successful in a short period of time. Superb marketing and video. Thank you, Scott!

Diego represented me in selling our boat in 2018, and did a fantastic job. He just represented us in buying a new boat and we could not have asked for a more professional and knowledgeable broker, not to mention one with an extremely high level of integrity. He did an enormous amount of work contacting service providers and the boats manufacturer to obtain specific information that was crucial to our purchase, as well as making sure all of our questions were addressed completely. We truly felt that our best interests were his. We highly recommend Diego and Worth Avenue Yachts.

Niel Steenkamp is undeniably the best yacht broker I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Niel helped us purchase a Tiara Sovran. He is Professional, knowledgeable and dependable. His guidance during negotiations was stellar. He handled all of our inspections and Sea Trials. After the closing of escrow Niel was readily available to teach us how to work all the unique features of our boat. We also had fantastic interactions with Lindsey LaPrat (Niel’s assistant). She was also very timely and on top of every detail.From start to finish we had a great experience. I highly recommend Niel and Worth Avenue Yachts! If.... I mean when I decide to upgrade again I will definitely be calling Niel Steenkamp.

Niel & his backup team have been the perfect source to meet our evolving boating needs & dreams. We have transitioned with Niel from trading our last boat into our Alaskan 65 Flush Deck, while he was Ocean Alexander’s most successful broker year after year, into being a current charter client with Worth.Without question Niel’s network of contacts, knowledge and being highly responsive to his client’s needs are exactly what we want when we start thinking about new horizons on the water.

Fantastic experience purchasing our boat. This group is knowledgeable, responsive, high integrity and a breeze to work with. Diego was there every step of the way, not just just the act of selling the boat, but also ensuring all the little things were in order through possession, and following up once the deal was already closed. I would definitely work with Worth Avenue and Diego again.

Diego Gomez is an outstanding yacht broker of integrity and commitment to his clients. We have done several transactions with Diego and he has been professional and thorough in his handling of all the detailed follow- up required for our transaction. Diego has been exceptionally helpful in assisting with the post transaction details, such as warranty follow-up and commissioning. I would highly recommend Diego to anyone needing a professional yacht broker. D & S Wilson

Diego was recommended to us by another of his customers. We couldnt have been more pleased. This was our first boat purchase and we had an endless list of questions. Diego was extremely responsive and helpful, he recommended local resources for surveys and lenders, all were also very helpful and supportive. The purchase went off with our hitch and we couldnt have done it without his active support. THANKS!

Weve known Ray (and Niel) for years. Two of the best yacht brokers in the business in our opinion. When it came time to part with our boat last year, we considered no one else. Listed our Tiara with Worth Avenue Yachts. Ray & team did a great job of marketing & promoting the boat. She sold in less than 90 days after listing. If youre seriously looking to buy or sell a boat, look no further. Integrity, experience, expertise, knowledge = Worth Avenue Yachts!Liz & Joe

Diego Gomez is a first class yacht broker. Our family has just closed on our second transaction with him and the experience was exceptional. A very competent and professional broker who goes out of his way to help his clients.

I have worked with Diego Gomez for the last 7 years as I manage Helmuts Marine Service and we have had several mutual customers. Every customer that has worked with Diego only has positive things to say about him. He is a seasoned Marine Industry professional who has a true understanding the industry, the boats he is selling including the components in them, and recognizes what his customers want and need out of their boat and finding the right fit for them. If you are looking for a yacht broker, look no further than Diego Gomez!

Niel is the best. Showing us boats and then providing service after the purchase. He is there as a great resource not just a sales person. He is amazing.Bobby

Ive known Niel Steenkamp over 20 years - during that tome hes always been an amazing broker, advisor and friend throughout our buying and selling of more Ethan one yacht. Niel is highly knowledgable, HIGHLY ETHICAL and always customer service minded. I know a number of other brokers @ Worth Avenue and they share these qualities. If you need representation on a yacht large or small I recommend Niel - hands down!

Ray and Niel are extremely knowledgeable about boating and boats. Both provide first class service, and thoroughly understand customer needs. I highly recommend them both.

Weve had multiple boat purchases and sales with the managing partner of Worth Ave Yachts, Ray Prokorym, when he ran Ocean Alexander.Hes a top quality business operator. Id say one of the best in the industry and certainly in the Northwest. We can highly recommend him.

Niel was outstanding from start to finish and continues to be a great resource long after. Hes the best.

We just purchased our yacht through Ray at Worth Avenue Yachts. It’s our first boat we ever bought so our experience was zero to none. Ray and his team where so helpful to make this transaction very easy for us, they’re a first class operation!We highly recommend this company.

Ray and his team are first class. We purchase one brokerage boat and built a new 72’ with Rays guidance and expertise. It was delivered to Seattle and we couldn’t be happier with our dream boat. Amazing service prior, during and long after.

Ray and his team are absolutely the best. Highly recommended!

Not only is Niel very professional, he is so much fun to work with! You will never regret it!

Great team ethic & a lovely bunch of people.
