What happens if you don't get approval for financing?

Thanks for the question! There are indeed only two methods of purchasing a boat, cash or finance. If you cannot get approved for financing, you'll have to have the cash. There are a number of great sources of boat financing, including JR Bates at… more

I bought a travel trailer through POPs RV and the whole process was very easy and professional. They were very good at communicating every step of the way and the closing process was smooth and effortless. I highly recommend POPS!

After one year listed my boats for this company I couldn't sell my boat. The sells man was not expert. Dont waste your time.

We were attempting to sell our Class B+/C motorhome on our own through social media sites with several lookers and no really serious buyers. We went with Pops RVs and immediately felt like we had made a great choice. From the initial contact thru to the closing we had outstanding team members to guide us through each step until the Motorhome was sold and closed on two months later. We can't say enough positive things about the whole experience. Thanks POPs team for promptly selling our Motorhome in a short period of time. We would recommend this team to anyone wanting to sell their RV.

The entire staff did a great job working with me on the purchase of my first boat. Salesman answered every question in a timely manner. Captain that went on trial run did a great job presenting the boat and again answering every question. Paper work was completed in a very timely manner. Very friendly team. Everyone did their job. Could contact them way pass the 9-5 normal people. The Team at Pop Yachts is very professional. They let me choose the boat I wanted and everything else they made easy.

Happy Boating Days ahead Thanks to POP YACHTS

I've been TRYING to purchase through Pop Yachts since August 27th! I've been re-assigned 3 closing agents, 1 director of closing, 2 boat brokers, ............ we WERE supposed to close on Thurs the 13th (ie. "today" before Midnight) It is almost like they just DO NOT WANT to make a sale nor do they act like the know how to sell anything. They have come up with every excuse in the book as to why *I* am more concerned with getting the ball rolling/us-going with each step than they are..... to my knowledge, the ONLY thing that they have done thus far, is presented my offer to the seller/owner (who accepted), drafted a tentative agreement, and now playing Pass-The-Buck Email-style!!!!!!!! I am trying to find boats NOT listed with Pop Yachts at this point!!!!! #SoFrustrated They are SUPER TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL!

I bought a boat through Pop Yachts and it was a terrific experience. I'm in MA, they're in FL, and the boat was in CT. It wouldn't have any smoother if we were all in the same town! The process was easy, the team was helpful and responsive, and they took care of everything. I highly recommend them if you're in the market for a boat

Sold my RV after it was listed on site for price I wanted. I had plenty of referrals come and look at vehicle due to POP RV. They list on largest website and my buyer flew from New Mexico and drove it away in California. Pop was available for any questions throughout the process. It was a bit unsettling to send title in the mail, but they are legit and useful. If you want to sell your RV or any other item (boat or even house) I'd trust them to get the job done in a professional manner. They have extensive friendly staff that was well versed @ the type of vehicle I had and will look for them next time I buy a vehicle.

2007 Fleetwood Tioga @ Yosemite Valley

After reading reviews of this place I thought it would be a good company to buy a boat and list my RV. I made an offer on the boat and right away I was given the runaround and I really wanted the boat. At the same time I noticed they also do RV consignments and thought I can use them for both. Here is my issue after requesting to see the boat, Reggie the person I dealt with stated the owners was in town and to give him some date and times when I can see boat. So I gave him some dates and times 2 weeks go by and I texted Reggie and no response. Reggie was also supposed to get back to me in regards to the valuation of RV. Reggie disappeared and I reached out to Dennis but he is just as bad, he kept stating on email he would call me back in regards to boat and RV. He never did, same with listing the RV. I just feel bad for their customers because they don't seem interested in selling anything. I probably won't list the RV with them as I saw what customer service they had. None....terrible place and terrible customer service. I do like the boat also to add I tried calling Reggie but he is a joke and noticed he screens his calls. I can't get a straight answer from POPs

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH POP YACHTS! They are dishonest people who take advantage of their clients! I hired Pop Yachts to sell my boat. I paid them nice commissions and my understanding was that they are representing me i.e. working in my best interest; I also disclosed to them that I needed the boat sold immediately. I later found out from the buyer that they told him to low ball me on the price; they were suppose to present my bottom line, NOT to suggest to the buyer to further LOW BALL me!. I complained to Pop Yacht and gave them the chance twice to address this unfortunate situation through 2 different people in the organization where I got BS stories and all kind of explanations that did not address my issue with their unethical/deceitful malpractice in my case. I will never work with Pop Yacht ever again as they are not to be trusted! Ronen Sigura

worst brokerage service ever it's all about you paying them . terrible service as a buyer it's very difficult to schedule seeing a boat and as a seller they will pursue money from you even after you cancel the contract I buy about 1 or 2 boats a year and when browsing if I see pop representing it I just keep looking knowing the aggravation will not be worth the time invested

Palm Beach International Boat Show returns to West Palm Beach waterfront

The Palm Beach International Boat Show returns this week with more nearly 1,000 vessels on display, including super yachts from around the world.

Tickets are on sale now for the show that runs March 21-24 along the West Palm Beach waterfront.

The show, which started in 1982, has grown to a major economic engine for the community, with last year's impact estimated at $1.05 billion statewide — nearly as much as the $1.3 billion Miami International Boat Show, said Alyssa Freeman, executive director of the Marine Industries Association of Palm Beach County, which owns the boat show.

More: Cool front for South Florida won't be its last even with the first day of spring here

"Palm Beach is really not that far behind Miami, and Miami is the biggest in the world," Freeman said. "That was really exciting."

This year's boat show features an expanded Super Yacht Show at Palm Harbor Marina, showcasing yachts that typically stretch longer than 80 feet and have a variety of luxurious amenities that include hot tubs, crew quarters, dance floors and sun decks.

"We have more super yachts there than we ever have before, and they're even bigger," Freeman said, noting that at 236 feet, the vessel Casino Royale takes the title of largest yacht at this year's show. The title of "most expensive yacht" goes to Come Together, a 196-foot vessel priced at $59.95 million.

"Everybody, when they think about super yachts, they think about Monaco and Miami, but Palm Beach is a real player in these boat shows and the yachting world," Freeman said.

Exhibitors continue to be drawn to the Palm Beach International Boat Show by the opportunity for high sales year after year when compared with other South Florida boat shows, she said.

"I've heard from several of them, this is their favorite show to attend," Freeman said, "And that's why, because their sales are higher at Palm Beach."

The show continues to make headway in improving its sustainability efforts, she said. After reducing single-use plastics, a major change this year is the addition of water bottle refilling stations throughout the show, Freeman said.

"I think that's exciting because everybody's talking about sustainability and how we can be more sustainable," she said. "Every year, we take little steps to be more sustainable."

Freeman said she is excited for this year's AquaZone presented by Nautical Ventures. The attraction showcases some of the "yacht toys" that are new or popular on the market.

"It's so cool, because there are people actually in the water demoing yacht toys, and it's usually the latest and greatest," she said. "There's always something new every year that we've never seen before."

The Palm Beach International Boat Show also features a range of seminars, demonstrations and discussions throughout the weekend, including mental health in yachting, tips to boat to the Bahamas, safe boating to protect sea turtles and how to address active threats and piracy.

Freeman, who has children, said she loves the Kids Fishing Clinics scheduled for noon and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday with captain Don Dingman.

"Captain Don has been doing this for years, and he does a fantastic job," Freeman said. "The kids actually get to go home with a free rod and reel once the clinic is over."

The association produces the Palm Beach International Boat Show with Informa Markets' U.S. Boat Shows division.

"As we gear up for the 2024 Palm Beach International Boat Show, we are excited for our return to Downtown West Palm Beach to celebrate the rich history of this esteemed event," Andrew Doole, president of U.S. Boat Shows at Informa Markets, said in a news release. "Each year, we’re grateful for the warm welcome and support from the community, which truly makes this event a highlight on the calendar for both residents and visitors alike."

Informa also produces the Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary art show happening March 21-24, at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. A Windward VIP ticket to the boat show includes admission to the art show as well.

In addition to serving as a cornerstone festival of spring in West Palm Beach, the boat show launched the Palm Beach International Boat Show Gives Back program to provide hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions to local nonprofits, Freeman said.

The grant program had a soft launch last year and formalized the boat show's four-decade practice of giving back to the community, Freeman said.

"We're really excited about it," said Freeman, who added that the boat show team is working with the Community Foundation to manage the grant program, which they hope to grow. "That's something that's a super high priority for us."

Money raised through a portion of the boat show's ticket sales, optional add-ons and some related activities goes toward the fund.

The boat show in February announced that the first round of grants totaling $500,000 would go to 25 nonprofits that have marine-related programs or projects, including Florida Fishing Academy, Loggerhead Marinelife Center, Florida Atlantic University, Inlet Grove High School, Palm Beach State College, Sea Turtle Adventures and Friends of Manatee Lagoon.

"We're hoping one day we'll be able to say that it's a million dollars," she said. "So fingers crossed. It relies on the success of the boat show and the support of the community. With that, we will continue to grow."
