Great people to deal with. I just bough a Doral cruiser boat from Mike at Deaton Yacht Sales. Boat was exactly as presented in the photos. Mike was super helpful through out the whole process (I am in Canada). He arranged to see the boat, kept it there until I was able to drive down to pick it up, helped to get the boat out of the water etc.Mike and Nancy thank you very much!

WARNING: If you are in the market as a seller or buyer, it is advised by all who know better to stick with a broker that is certified by either the YBAA or CPYB.My family and I are very disappointed with the experience we had with the owner at Deaton Yacht sales. He attempted to push us into a very unprofessional sales agreement that only served to protect his business and the seller. So I asked him to use a nationally recognized sales contract endorsed by both the Yacht Brokers Association of America (YBAA) and the Certified Professional Yacht Brokers (CPYB). It's called the YBAA Offer to Purchase. He acted like he was going to let me add the important verbiage to the contract in the addendum section but I caught him attempting to push the contract through with that part of the agreement omitted.Both certifying organizations are the standard for professional yacht brokers and Deaton yacht sales does NOT belong to either group.

Mike and Nancy were great when it came to all aspects of selling our Endeavour 44 power cat! They are now helping us find our 6th boat (transaction) with their brokerage!!!

Working with Deaton yachts has been a very pleasant experience. They went out of their way to show a boat listed for sale. Unfortunately for me I waited too long to pull the trigger. I would definitely recommend working with this broker over some other locals in NC and hopefully I stumble upon another great deal soon. Sincerely.

Mike Draughan is very professional and wants his customers to find a boat that they will be happy with. We have sold and purchased three boats with his help. The commission is not his main focus, it's his customers!!!
