I have observed Dom’s work in the brokerage industry for over 15 years. He has consistently stood out as having an extraordinary work ethic when it comes to getting a result for clients. He is a person of great integrity and has earned trust with his professionalism, honesty and ethical business practices. He has a great depth of knowledge and practical experience with sail and power boats. The best indication of this is the number of repeat clients he retains. I would have no hesitation recommending Dom and Lowe Yachts.

We have bought one and sold two boats through Dom in the last 5 years.Our first purchase was a Hanse 445.Dom made the process low stress and very easy.We could rely on his honesty,open communication and ability to negotiate any issues that arose.We then decided to buy a yacht in Europe and sail it back to New Zealand.We had no hesitation in approaching Dom to sell our 445 as our initial dealings made it easy.Dom sold the boat quickly and at a good price.We then bought a Hanse 505 in Europe and spent the next 2.5 years sailing back to New Zealand.We wanted to sell the boat once back in NZ so contacted Dom when in the Pacific.He outlined a plan and had a buyer in mind before we got back.Needless to say when we were back a contract was entered into almost straightaway at our expected price.The sale was negotiated by Dom in a highly professional manner and any issues resolved immediately.His assistance during the sale process was invaluable and we are very thankful.We have not felt the need to deal with any other yacht brokers over this period as all our experiences have been positive.

After owning our previous yacht for 12 years we felt it was time for a bigger and newer replacement. We looked at quite a few yachts with different brokers, but weren’t always comfortable with their pressure to buy. In contrast Dom listened to what we were seeking and only showed us relevant boats, and at no time did we feel pressured into making a decision that we might regret. He got the purchase and sale of both boats over the line to our satisfaction. After the sale he has been available to introduce me to the right people to get things fixed and answer my questions. I have no hesitation in recommending him if you are looking for a new or second-hand boat.

Ed & Hilary Mitchell

I have known Dominic for many years and we have bought and sold two Hanse yachts through him.

In our experience we’ve found him to be hardworking, reliable, and he gets things done.

Dominic has the ability to smooth the transactional process between buyer and seller to the benefit of both parties. Having been in the business for many years, he knows the market – and boats.

We’re happy to recommend Dominic to buyers and sellers alike and would definitely use his services again in the future.

Since my early dealings with Dom, I have found him to be very likeable and respectful. He has a trusting ability to match buyers with sellers, understanding both parties briefs, and the market of the time.

Dom has become a household name in the marine brokerage market in NZ

I wish him well in his new venture.

I have bought and sold two Dehler yachts through Dominic over the last ten years. Throughout my dealings with Dominic, he has always shown an honest, professional and helpful attitude to me, the boat and on general sailing advice. Dominic has always been interested in me getting the most out of my boat and is always happy to share the benefits of the sailing network he has built over his years in the sailing community.
