Business response:

It seems there might have been a misunderstanding with the operations of your company, BOAT & CAR EXPORT LLC. It appears that you are engaging in activities that may not comply with licensing regulations in Florida, specifically regarding yacht brokerage. It’s concerning that your business practices might be misleading unsuspecting sellers, particularly when you lack the necessary yacht brokerage or salesperson's licenses.

After the survey of my brand new boat at the end of last year I found out the electric for the radar and other items was not hooked up correctly. Chet at asun Coast said that is not something we would check. Now I found out that the bilge pumps are wired incorrectly as well. Unless the motors are on they will not turn on. Chet, guess it's OK if the boat sinks?

What exactly are you expecting from us? Are you suggesting that once we demonstrate it is operational, we should de... read more

Sun Coast saved me from making an over 1/2 million dollar mistake. Needless to say, they are my surveyors on my next boat.

Boy did I get a lemon of a boat after Sun Coast Marine Surveying promised they were the best. No water on boat to test plumbing, no generator to test electronics, no canvas to see how destroyed it was. But I still paid full price. Here is what I got: I added water to the boat and it flooded the carpet in the cabin and filled up the bilge. There isn’t a drop left in the holding tank so all 20 gallons leaked out. Batteries were dead so had to get new ones day 1, starter completely corroded and stopped working, hydraulic flui... read more
