Testimonials

“Thanks for a wonderful season. It's rare to find such a class act in business. Thanks to great maintenance, planning, instruction and support, we and all our guests had a safe, enjoyable and memorable season. From one crew of six who were all age 75 years plus -- to the numerous children who experienced their first sail -- everything was flawless.”

Captain, Dancing Days

“I just had to share with you something that made me very happy last night. As you may recall, Rhonda [his wife] had been rather reluctant about the idea of a boat from the beginning. Well, she returned last night from her first sailing lesson in Stamford with a huge smile on her face, bubbling with enthusiastic remarks about how much fun it was, how much she liked Howard, [the sailing instructor] and how beautiful it was on the water.”

Captain, Moonlight Serenade

“We had an incredible sail on Saturday ... just had a blast. My son, who is seven, said it was the best day of his life, and at 43, it was just about the same for me.”

“With multiple interests, the timeshare program -- with it's flexible scheduling, excellent equipment and no maintenance -- fulfills my passion for sailing.”

"I wanted to let you know how much I, and my family, have enjoyed working with you and Pinnacle Yachts. When I started with your company I really did not know what to expect since I was new to boating. Your patient instruction and uncanny availability when I needed help was wonderful and added tremendously to my enjoyment of the boating experience. When I started, I simply knew I wanted to experience boating without the hassles and expense of boat ownership. Pinnacle, and particularly you [Alan], have been a great and [have made it a] very enjoyable experience. I now know that I can handle at least a 34 foot powerboat and how much fun boating can be for the whole family."

“Emmy and I went out yesterday for our first solo voyage. It was a blast! Thank you so much for bringing Pinnacle to Connecticut. Please thank Patti and Howard for their excellent tutoring. Cheers!”

“I just wanted to tell you how excited I am about being involved with Pinnacle Yachts. When I first contacted you about the program, I had a lot of questions. You answered them all, and I am pleased to say that everything you stated has been true and then some. The boat is fantastic. Randy’s instruction has been wonderful. It has given me the knowledge and confidence to operate the boat safely. It honestly has opened up a whole new world of sailing that I had always dreamed about. The feeling I had Friday and more so on Sunday of controlling that ship is hard to put into words, but Paul [his son] could’t believe how large my smile was when I was at the helm. I look forward to a long and happy relationship with everyone at Pinnacle Yachts.”

Captain, Wondrous Stories

“I really had a great time this season and, in hindsight, am so thrilled that both you and Gary provided me with such encouragement at the outset. Had I not signed up with Pinnacle, I would have truly missed what has now become another entire dimension to my lifestyle. I cannot thank you enough. I look forward to a long and happy relationship with everyone at Pinnacle Yachts.”

“I wanted to mention some additional points that attracted to us to your program... (1) Zero maintenance time - I just want to sail. I don't want to put the boat in the water, fix it when it breaks or maintain it. (2) Less pressure to use the boat - If I owned the boat, I would feel like I should be using it all the time. Owing a boat implies you are a "boat person", and that is your hobby. With your deal, usage is largely pre-determined, and there is no such pressure. I can (and do) other things, and I don't feel bad about it. (3) Pinnacle deals with all the hassles - you have arranged the slip, [Pinnacle Staff] fuels & keeps water in the boat, etc. (4) Short-term commitment - I could own a boat, but I wouldn't have taken out the mortgage - a big, long-term commitment. (5) Cost certainty - there are no surprise maintenance costs and there is no depreciation surprise when the boat is sold. To us, this is much more about convenience than ability to own."

“You can imagine my surprise when I opened the envelope [Christmas present from wife] and saw pictures of the yacht! I definitely got the better end of the deal in this marriage!”

D. K. - University Dean
Captain, Wondrous Stories

“My wife and I sold our boat twelve years ago when our son was born. A few years ago we started looking at buying a boat again until we learned of your group [Pinnacle Yachts]. We signed-up and sailing has never been better. It’s like owning your own boat for far less cost and no maintenance. This program has been a real find especially having the opportunity to sail a new boat with all the bells and whistles. I’m impressed that the boat is always clean and ready to sail when my guests and I arrive. My wife and I used to talk about purchasing a boat, but after sailing with Pinnacle, we feel like we already own our own boat.”

M. C. - Luxury Home Developer
Captain, Moon Dance

“I should tell you that I am impressed with your overall program.
I get more sailing than I can actually handle.
I get a well thought out boat, that is well maintained.
I get this for a reasonable price.
What else can I ask for?”

R. M. - Investment Manager
Captain, Moon Dance

“Let me take this opportunity to express our delight in Pinnacle Yachts. Also, for providing this most valued service for our lakefront enjoyment. Summer Wind had a major part in making our summer memorable. It would not have been possible without the attention to detail that was shared between Summer Wind’s Captains and Pinnacle. This made sharing “Our” boat rewarding and valued as much as the service received from Pinnacle. All of which exceeded my expectations.”

L. Z. - Engineering Manager
Captain, Summer Wind

“Six years ago with Pinnacle, my sailing dream came true. I feel I now have my own great boat!”

Captain, Shining Star

“Just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time at your Captain's party. Meeting the captains and crew of some of the other craft while enjoying the hors d'oeuvres, refreshments and the live entertainment made for a great evening. Randy was telling me about [the yacht] you'll be enjoying later this year, and I must admit -- it had me dreaming of teak gliding above turquoise waters while blue skies outlined white sails and puffy clouds only to fade into the ever approaching horizon.”

Captain, Glory Days

“I just wanted to tell you what a great time I had today [at the orientation]. I met so many nice people, had a wonderful lunch, shared some great stories, and learned a lot in the process. I wanted to thank you for the wonderful orientation you organized today. You really have a class operation in Pinnacle Yachts and we are proud to be a part of it. We look forward to seeing you out "on the lake" this summer. Thank you again.”

“I had a wonderful time today, and look forward to the season!! Thank you. I remember when I first called and spoke to you about Pinnacle vs. [the alternative] - we spoke of true sportsmanship and etiquette and the difference between Pinnacle and [the alternative]. I am so impressed with Pinnacle and the folks I've met - owners, captains, instructors. How nice and I just had to tell you!!”
