Ivan Batanov – Buyer of Primitive Cool

“Jason Rowed is an outstanding yacht broker - extremely knowledgeable, very responsive, and highly ethical. A great partner to have in your corner if you are buying or selling a racing yacht. He made the complex process of purchasing and delivery of a boat from Australia to the US as easy and seamless as possible. Without him, it wouldn't have been possible to close the deal. Huge thanks, Jason!”

Grant Moore – Marten 49 Carioca

“I recently purchased a Marten 49 through Jason. From the very first engagement with Jason Rowed, there was no hard sales pressure, only total professionalism, honesty, integrity, advice and help in every respect, especially noting that the boat was in Perth, and we live in Sydney. I cannot recommend Jason enough to any buyer looking for a cruiser racer or pure bred race yacht.”

Hugh Warner – Ocean Ranger

“I appointed a yacht broker in Perth and one in Sydney to sell our Ker33. I did not get one lead from these 2 brokers in 1 year. I appointed Jason and he sold our Ker33 within [8] weeks of listing. Professional, no nonsense, sensible, results driven outfit. When I sell my next boat, I will call him first.”

Hugh Ellis – Voodoo

“Jason, thank you so much for you great work in selling Voodoo, your experience and professionalism were second to none. I believe that only someone with an intimate knowledge of race yachts can sell them and you surpassed all expectations. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone wanting to sell a race yacht.”

Steve Manning – Black Baza

“Jason has been a valued team member of my previous boat campaign and with my current Black Baza racing team. He has a huge depth of experience across the board from yacht construction, boat preparation, team management and training, through to specific strengths in trimming and tactics, and making the boat “go fast”, Jason has a super ability to get the most out of crews, whether amateur or professional, to calm the boat when it’s all on, and motivate the team throughout. He’s also a fabulous entertainer, and great to have on the team and as a friend.”
