I purchased a boat through Suncoast-marine management in St Petersburg Florida, they offered very good shipping rates to New Zealand as long as we prepaid the freight to get the best deal.
They purchased the boat for which they were paid a good commission, they gave me a quotation for an all up price to New Zealand which I agreed to.
The sale went well then nothing happened, in all 5 months elapsed until the boat was shipped, many excuses were given, many stories, many untruths, the boat arrived freight collect not prepaid, eventually they paid some of the freight, but the freight cost was twice what they had charged me, my loss so far has been $50,000.
These people are cheats they care more about profit than they do honouring their word, they have no integrity do not deal with them or you face the same loss I did.
I even introduced another buyer to them and they ripped him off worse than me.
The president gave me glowing reports that she was the daughter of an x FBI agent and would never act fraudulently. I got caught by the rubbish told to me.
Learn from my mistake deal only with licensed boat brokers and never prepay your freight as there are scammers everywhere.
