Wednesday, August 2nd, 2023 | Uncategorized | No Comments
Boating is a such a significant part of living here in East Tennessee’s lakeside communities. There’s nothing like cruising along the sparkling water! But of course, trustworthy boat purchasing and sales, as well as service and storage, is essential. HBG Yachts is a Knoxville-based boat brokerage, storage, and service company that was founded in 2011 by owner and president, Colin Daley. Colin has been selling boats in the Knoxville area since 1996 and is known as the local expert in boat and yacht sales. He developed his experience on the rivers and lakes locally, selling both new and brokerage vessels. With 25 years’ experience in boat brokerage sales and boat service, HBG Yacht Sales is committed to exceeding your expectations in the purchase or sale of your boat or yacht by providing a seamless and professional transaction.
In this month’s edition of Mountain Views, we had the opportunity to interview Colin Daley, the owner of HBG Yachts in Knoxville. We are excited to present our interview with Colin to you.
MV: Tell our readers a little bit about yourself and HBG Yachts.
Colin: I have been selling boats in the Knoxville area since 1996 and am known as a local expert in boat and yacht sales. I developed my experience on the rivers and lakes locally selling both new and brokerage vessels.
As a yacht sales veteran, my team and I can advise clients on all aspects of boat buying, selling, services, and local cruising. Most importantly, we will assess your needs, and locate the best boat for your use and budget. For boat owners looking to sell, HBG can assess your vessel’s value and get it sold quickly. We are experts in all styles of boats, and knowledgeably guide our clients toward the best, most informed boat sales decisions.
We are a full-service operation uniquely positioned to satisfy all your boating, storage, and service needs. Our storage options include in-water and land based, either covered or not. And there is a convenient boat ramp right at our facility. We’re all about convenience, whether for regular boating, or a convenient sales experience. We are the only boat sales and brokerage company in Knoxville with this combination of full-service capabilities.
MV: Buying or selling a boat is a big deal and can be quite stressful. Tell us about your boat brokerage operation.
Colin: HBG offering boaters a combined 25 years’ experience and expertise of selling boats in all sizes and price ranges. We will give you the boat buying or selling experience of a lifetime by handling every aspect of the selling or buying process.
For boat owners, there are a variety of reasons a client decides to sell a boat. Sometimes it is out of necessity; our goal is to get the highest value for their boat, and a quick sale. Other clients want to upgrade, and we can conveniently sell their current boat and help locate their next boat as a buyer’s broker.
We take your boat from listing to sold as fast as the market allows and you won’t have to lift a finger. Our commitment is to help you eliminate the hassle of selling your boat and to bring you the best return. Selling your boat can be a frustrating and time-consuming process. From advertising and listing your boat to the closing process and test runs, there can be a lot to do! Whether this is your first boat sale or you’re an experienced boater who just wants it sold, we’re dedicated to delivering a seamless, secure transaction.
MV: Can you tell us about your team members?
Colin: Of course. Including myself, we have a team of three brokers on staff. My son, Alex Daley, joined us full time after growing up in and around the business and graduating from UT Knoxville in 2021. Robbie Casey is a seasoned 100-ton captain, boating expert, and a key member of our team.
MV: You also provide boat service and repairs. Can you tell us about that?
Colin: We recently acquired Simplified Yachting Services (SYS), a full-service marine service provider. SYS offers mobile capabilities and can come right to your vessel! Whether you keep your boat at a marina or private dock, our service crew is fully mobile. Our motto for service and repairs is, “Boat Service Simplified”. We pride ourselves in effective communications and are committed to prompt follow-through and exceptional customer service. We provide boat and engine repair, preventative maintenance, and general system repairs.
MV: Anything else you feel would be important to add or that you want readers to know?
Colin: Yes! We recently became Cobia Boat and Pathfinder Boat dealers to add to our upper-tier quality boat offerings. Center console boats are becoming a very popular style in our boating community due to their versatility for family boating and fishing, ease of maintenance and comfortable ride.
At our core, HBG is about delivering trustworthy and dependable service, and treating our customers as we’d like to be treated. We believe in building long-term relationships based on prompt and effective service, and being known as the best at what we do in our community.
