Our Experience Working with Jeff Merrill: The Right Partner to Find the Right Boat
From the moment we shifted our thinking from a Great Loop-capable boat to a vessel that could take us to even more destinations, we knew we needed someone with deep Nordhavn expertise.
Having followed Jeff’s social media videos for some time, we felt like we already “knew” him, and that same excitement, passion, and genuine enthusiasm for boating that comes through online was evident in our very first conversation with him. Jeff took the time to truly understand who we are, what we hoped to accomplish with our cruising plans, and the specific features and capabilities that mattered most to us.
Rather than steering us toward what was simply available, Jeff guided our search thoughtfully and strategically. He helped us refine our priorities and explore the Nordhavn models that best fit our long-term cruising goals. Throughout the process, he was engaged, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right boat.
What stood out most was Jeff’s ability to balance professional expertise with a personal touch. He listened, he advised, and he supported us at every step, all with the integrity, knowledge, and enthusiasm you see in his videos.
We concluded the process with an incredible 55’ yacht, invaluable knowledge, a network of resources that we can tap into anytime during our journeys, and someone we now consider a friend.
We are thrilled with our experience and enthusiastically recommend Jeff Merrill and the JMYS team (with a strong endorsement to John Hoffman) to anyone in the market for a Nordhavn or similar cruising vessel.
