Wow! I'm dismayed to hear you had such a terrible experience. I just reached a verbal agreement with them on a C & C pending a survey and I am awaiting the contract. So far so good, but this is concerning. Graham Young Cleveland, O.

I would never recommend them to anyone, and they should not be in the boat brokerage business after what I just went through. In fact, they should not be in any business. I purchased a C&C 33 mark 2 from them earlier this year and everything that you could think of going wrong went wrong. Upon receiving the boat from them last May, I immediately discovered that the boat had a bent propeller shaft. I then had to spend over $2,000 to make the boat seaworthy. Upon communicating with Bridge Yachts who had prepared the boat for transportation, I was told that they were not responsible for the condition of my boat upon delivery. They told me that it was “my problem to fix the bent propeller shaft” and that I “either sue the marine survey who did not detect the problem” or “pursue the boat owner” (whom they were representing) for selling me a damaged vessel. They happily took their broker fee for the sale of the boat (a healthy amount, might I add), and they charged me double of what they quoted me verbally for preparation of the boat. I tried to reason with them and get them to drop the preparation charges after giving me such a horrible experience. However, after 5 months of avoiding legal action, they now seem bent on extracting this money from me by legal means yet still maintaining their position of no responsibility for selling me damaged goods. Their lack of accountability is disgraceful and they seem to be completely unreasonable when dealing with their customers. Robin Drew,Montreal
