As a yacht buyer, I enjoyed doing business with Daan Hamburger. Communication was always to the point and professional. Agreements were honoured and occasionally a friendly and proactive reminder was sent without being pushy, ensuring that there were no hiccups in the process. As a new yacht owner, I am not immediately looking for a broker, but Daan would definitely be on my shortlist.

I hired Daan Hamburger from Hamburger Yachtbroker to mediate in the sale of my ketch sailing yacht. An acquaintance recommended this small brokerage firm to me. He had very positive experiences with Daan Hamburger.
I found him to be a very committed broker. He thinks along with you and gives adequate advice on how to sell the ship as quickly as possible. I am very pleased with the personal approach of this friendly broker. His contacts, including with interested buyers, were knowledgeable and professional.

Daan provided excellent assistance to my father-in-law in selling his Winner 9.5. It was sold within six weeks! He arranged numerous viewings. Daan is knowledgeable, personable, patient, and takes ample time. His approach was clear and honest. We recommend Daan if you are considering selling a boat.

Daan is a knowledgeable conversation partner who also knows a lot about boats. He is calm and respectful and gives buyers and sellers time to consult and deliberate. He accompanies potential buyers on viewings. Pleasant to deal with and inspires confidence.

We are extremely satisfied with Daan Hamburger's assistance in selling our boat. From the very first contact, communication was clear and professional. He took the time to explain the process thoroughly.
Our Feeling 1090 was sold within three weeks.
The transaction went smoothly and we felt completely at ease. We got a great price for our boat and the buyer was also very satisfied with their dealings with Daan. We recommend everyone selling their boat to seek Daan's assistance.

We are very satisfied with Daan Hamburger's mediation in the sale of our Comfortina 38. Daan is calm, realistic and reliable, in short someone who inspires and instils confidence in both buyers and sellers. Moreover, he is creative enough to provide things we had not yet thought of so that the sale is expedited. Daan is highly recommended for anyone who wants to sell their boat or is considering buying one.

When we bought our Dehler Optima, we received excellent guidance from Daan of Hamburger Yachtbroker. From the very first contact, we felt we were in good hands. Daan is extremely clear in his explanations of the sales process and takes care of many of the arrangements, which makes the whole experience a lot more pleasant. What stood out above all was how flexible he thinks with us and makes sure everything is hassle-free. For those looking for a no-nonsense approach and clear communication when buying or selling a boat, we highly recommend Hamburger Yachtbroker.

After we decided to sell our Carena 36, we contacted eSailing, Daan Hamburger. We did not regret that for a moment. Right from the start, it turned out that Daan Hamburger worked quickly and accurately and managed to reach interested parties not only in the Netherlands, but also in the countries around us. I did the tours myself, but Hamburger remained involved and invariably inquired after the visitors' experiences afterwards. He also proved to have patience and understanding for the situation when, at the height of the Corona crisis, we were briefly unable to receive people. When we were able to do so again after a few weeks, there were immediately new interested parties. In the end, the boat was sold generously within six months.

When we were looking for a Bavaria, we got to know and appreciate Daan Hamburger from eSailing. He is a very experienced, attentive and reliable salesman. We can recommend him without reservation. Thanks to Daan, we are now the happy owners of a Bavaria 36-2!

We have had very positive experiences with Daan Hamburger of Hamburger Yachtbroker. Daan makes appointments smoothly, and delivers what he promises. And, at least as pleasant, if you don't immediately agree, he actually listens to what you say. With our ship, he stuck his neck out in a market where standard products are most in demand. There was a steady flow of viewings, all in good consultation and always afterwards that phone call to talk about it. As soon as things got tough, for instance with the paperwork for the transfer, Daan was the one who, sometimes miraculously, managed to get things done again. Personal, involved, enthusiastic, professional and able to reach a wide audience. Highly recommended.

Many Thanks to Daan Hamburger from Hamburger Yachtbroker! We were looking for a Bavaria 42 quite a long time. After several visits in the Med and with some local brokers in Italy and Croatia we met Daan in Holland to inspect a Bavaria 42 in Andijk. What a difference to "Mediterrean way of brokerage"! With Daan we had a good and trustful relationship from the first moment! He managed the whole sale very professional and with passion to boats. Also the Dutch system to pay the sales price first to an HISWA escrow-account makes the whole purchase process more relaxed for the buyer. If I would buy or sell a yacht again, I would definitely recommend Daan Hamburger to work with.

Both for the sale and purchase of our boat, we had a very pleasant cooperation with Daan Hamburger. The seller of our 1966 One-Off steel two-master worked with Hamburger Yachtbroker at the time and, as buyers, we were helped tremendously at the time. Very well informed, very accurate and accessible. a good negotiation and very friendly and benevolent. When we wanted to sell the boat again from Groningen, it was a logical choice to work together again. From the other side of the table the same experiences. Easily accessible, accurate and committed. Good advice and even attended the technical inspection and mediated professionally. Everybody recommends working with Daan Hamburger for both the sale and purchase of a ship.

Very happy with this broker. Couple of years back we were very happy with the sale of our sailboat. Hence years later with selling our new boat we immediately thought of Daan. No regrets. Had viewers again quickly and within 2 months we were happy with the sale. Honest and always quickly available After a viewer had visited our boat, he always called back the same day to let us know how it had gone. Big praise.

We are getting a year older and, after much deliberation, decided to sell our Hallberg Rassy 29. We had heard good reports about Daan Hamburger. From the very first contact, it was clear that he has a nice personality and is well informed about the boat market. During the sales process he was always easily accessible and kept us well informed. After about 3 months our boat was successfully sold. We highly recommend Daan Hamburger when buying or selling your boat.

We had a very pleasant experience with Daan Hamburger of Jachtmakelaar Monnickendam. It was the first time for us to sell a boat and it was quite exciting how it would go He made clear agreements, gave good tips on pricing and viewings, was always there at the agreed time and ensured that the entire sale of our boat went smoothly. Very nice way of working, considerate and understanding for both buyer and seller. We look back on a good way of handing over despite saying goodbye to our boat.

Our boat was sold with the help of eSailing, Daan Hamburger. Daan is a people person with a love for boats. Highly recommended if you want that little bit extra when selling your boat.

Daan acts in an approachable manner, thereby inspiring confidence in both the buyer and seller. He has demonstrated that he is very committed and understands what motivates both parties. So he is not a “sly salesman”. Ultimately, buying or selling a boat is also a matter of gut feeling. This, combined with his years of knowledge and experience as a broker and sailing enthusiast, makes him a highly reliable broker who is committed to achieving a positive result.
