James Dickens has retired and is enjoying his time touring around Europe but is on hand in a consultancy role to the Team (as time permits) and who knows you may even see him about to help out inbetween his adventures. James is well known and respected in the marine industry. His childhood passion for boats grew as he raced Hornets, whilst working every hour he could in the local chandlery shop. On to a three year college diploma in yacht and boatyard management in Southampton. From there to manage a boat yard in the Channel Islands for four years, (Fairline dealers). Back to the UK to build boats on the Thames then down to the Solent to sell Hardy, Orkney, Birchwood, Carver and Azimut in Southampton for seven years.

He then moved to Marine Sales in Poole as Sales Manager for Formula, Proline and the Fairline range for nearly five years, then Offshore Powerboats in Lymington, as Sales Manager, selling Broom, Nimbus and Storebro for five years. All these companies had busy general brokerage business. Finally he left to start his own company in 2004. Now with a growing reputation as "That chap on You tube that talks about boats"!! Now taking a back seat James is in the wings to help and support whenever the need arises. Whilst touring James can be availble to assist in the process. Although James is enjoying his retirement he is delighted to have formed this union to ensure his hard work and reputation will continue.

For the vendor, we offer advice on price, marketing and preparation for sale.  We pride ourselves on the quality of details prepared, we ALWAYS visit any boat we list, and take our own photos so we know roughly what we are talking about! We have adverts in the premier magazines, attend the major shows, and have a very well registered AWARD WINNING website; www.jdmbrokers.co.uk or .com

The "VIDEOWALKS" are a recent addition that helps a buyer see what they are travelling to view and is an honest look round, NO FRILLS.. and they have been very well received.

For the purchaser, we offer advice in all areas, finding the right boat, helping to arrange finance, insurance, finding a berth, survey, trials, loading to transport (and off loading if required), a technical handover and even some handling tuition, helping to manage the process through to the day she is sitting on your berth, ready to go. It is supposed to be fun and we do our best to ensure you enjoy the experience and that we impart as much useful information as we can along the way!

We look forward to meeting you, here's how to get in touch.                ..
