 Hi Romana, Just a short note of thanks for the work you did in achieving a fantastic result in the sale of my Noosa Cat 2700 Walkabout. I had it listed on Boatsales for a couple of months and all I had was multiple calls from tyre kickers, you truly surprised me with the quick result after only listing my boat for such a short time, we wish you every success with your Brokerage Business at Romana's Boat Brokerage Kind Regards Lindsay Walters - Queensland

 Romana was absolutely second to none in the sale of my father's Bounty 35 SailingYacht. She clearly communicated with me, and worked hard on my behalf to secure an excellent result for me as a seller. She did not hesitate to go the extra mile to help me out, whether it was assisting with a quick clean up of the boat prior to a viewing, or sourcing contractors to assist with moving or servicing the boat. I would not hesitate to recommend Romana to anyone looking to sell their boat with minimum fuss and maximum value.

 The experience I had buying a 34 foot Beneteau Oceanis through Romana was amazing. She made the purchase as smooth as possible, explaining every step in detail and always calling or emailing back straight away. She went above and beyond to organise the surveyor and the lift out with the marina which took a lot of pressure off myself. I would recommend Romana to anyone who requires her excellent brokerage skills. Jimmy Harbord - Western Australia

 We would highly recommend Romana Zappia located on the Gold Coast, Queensland, whom we selected as the broker to sell our Sea Ranger 47 Cruiser . Her management of all details during the selling process was at all times professional and astute. We appreciated how promptly she responded to email and phone communications, and that she always kept us fully informed. We found her knowledgeable, approachable, helpful and pleasant. She offered a competitive commission rate. Thank you Romana Best Wishes Sue and John Fleming - Queensland

 I have dealt with numerous professionals over the years and must say, Romana is one of the top. I purchased a 2002 Lidgard 55 Catamaran named "White Spirit" through Romana's expertise. Right from the start, great communication, prompt responses, nothing was a problem. Her integrity is beyond reproach, she says it how it is. Romana identified my needs and sought vessels for my perusal, as well as providing honest feedback on vessels I had sought myself. Personal service providing both video and onsite showings. I never felt rushed, after 3 months the outcome was astounding. I give Romana Zappia 11/10 for professionalism, integrity, honesty and logistics.

 My partner and I recently purchased a 36 ft sloop through Romana's Boat Brokerage. Negotiations took some time due to the distance we live from the yacht. From first speaking with Romana, she was professional and extremely helpful, she was able to answer all my questions relating to the yacht and went so far as to provide further pictures on my request even though it was apparent, she was extremely busy. Romana was as professional and easy to talk to on inspection of the yacht as she had been via telephone. I would highly recommend Romana's Boat Brokerage to anyone thinking of buying, selling or requiring a boat broker.

 Magnificent results are guaranteed with Romanas Boat Brokerage. The purchase of our first yacht, although daunting, was a pleasure with Romana by our side. Our initial dealings were done via telephone, due to distances involved with prompt and precise information being passed forward at every call. On inspection day, Romana made herself available at very short notice and truly took an interest in our desire to become boat owners. Her intimate knowledge of the boat, left us with all questions answered on the spot and no need to be waiting around for call back or clarification of additional information. I believe that Romana has the ability to ensure both vendor and purchaser walk away from every sale with smiles of satisfaction.

 I had been considering selling Latitude my much-loved 31ft Joe Adams centre cockpit fractional sloop rigged sailing vessel. By chance I met a Gentleman at a Gold Coast marina who had recently sold his vessel through Romana’s Boat Brokerage, he highly recommended using this service. After an initial meeting with Romana, I felt confident I was making the correct decision selling Latitude with Romana’s Boat Brokerage, we proceeded to organize the sale. Romana was always very punctual and on time regarding meetings, has great communication skills and Knowledge, was willing to go out of her way for myself, also the buyers, with no fuss at all, a very sincere and honest person There is so much more to selling and buying a vessel then I had realized, I would not recommend going it alone, just my opinion Romana thank you so much for making the sale of our much-loved vessel as seamless as possible, we could not be happier with your service and would recommend Roman’s Boat Brokerage to anyone buying or selling a vessel in the future
