We’re also proud to keep yachts in pristine condition. Our service arm provides confidence for all yacht owners, handling routine maintenance and complex repairs.

Dear Andy, Many thanks for your efforts in selling my Integrity 35 motor cruiser. I would like to say, after a lifetime involving ownership of many boats over the years, I have never met a broker who has tried so hard and done so much to ensure the successful conclusion to a sale. Nothing is ever straightforward in selling a used boat. There will always be issues needing to be overcome, as indeed there was with this one. Your extraordinary knowledge of people in the industry, who have the expertise to get whatever is required done, to fix the unexpected and bring a deal to a conclusion is outstanding. You simply refuse to be beaten! You know your market, and in my case were able to get a better price than I expected. If in the future, I ever need to buy or sell a powered boat, you will be the ‘go to’ person for me.

After having our Clipper 36 listed through another agent for three months with very little satisfaction, we swapped to Andy Diehm Marine and it was sold within weeks. Andy’s attention to detail and honest assessment had us getting the price that we wanted. He organised inspections, equipment and necessary services with minimal fuss and left us safe in the knowledge that our much loved boat was going to a good home.
Selling
When it comes to finding the boat to suit our wants and needs, we would always turn to Classic Motor Yachts first. We gave Andy our specifications and he looked around until he found exactly what we were after, at the price we were happy to pay. Andy followed up with many consultations to ensure we understood everything about our Clipper 45, providing us with the know-how to make us confident that it will suit our purposes for many years to come. He goes above and beyond what is expected from a boat broker and we would have no hesitation in recommending Classic Motor Yachts to anyone looking to buy or sell a boat.
Buying
We met Andy when purchasing our 41 ft Storebro Flybridge. He was the broker for the sale and proved to be very professional and knowledgeable in all aspects of the process. It was a pleasure to deal with him, even though he was based out of Qld and the boat for sale was in Adelaide. So much so, that we engaged him to return to Adelaide and provide training to me and my wife on how to drive and handle our new purchase. Obviously he is much more than a sales broker and we would recommend Classic Motor Yachts highly to anyone looking to buy, sell or learn more about boatcraft.
