Rich did an excellent job! The whole process went smoothly and just as he explained. My 19 foot Robalo ended up going from Fl to a buyer in South Korea. Contract signed, $$$$ wired, boat picked up in under a week. Knowledgeable, professional, and available for any questions I had about the process. Thank you Rich!

I posted my boat for sale on Bass Boat Central and was contacted by Rich as a buyers broker. He indicated he had a client interested in the boat who was located in Korea and he would handle all the details and paperwork without expense to me. After he managed to dispel a level of healthy skepticism on my part, I agreed to let him handle the transaction. Everything worked out perfectly and it was probably easier than if I had sold the boat to somebody down the block. Rich was in constant touch via phone, email and text and I highly recommend Ocean Trek Marine. They were extremely communicative and professional.

I had the opportunity to engage Richs services when I decided to buy a boat and get it exported to Malaysia. Richs professionalism is commendable. I truly appreciate his principle on Buyers agent. He helped me all the way from sourcing the right boat within my budget, getting it checked and shipping it. The process was flawless and the communication was abundant.Thank you Rich and I look forward to do business with you again.

I used Ocean Trek Marine to ship a 20ft fishing boat from Miami to Dubai.Not only was their price competitive, but more importantly the service they provided was fantastic.The boat was packaged and protected professionally with extreme care & caution, as if it was their own boat they were transporting.Also we received updates from Rich & Sarah throughout every step of the process.I would have no problem recommending Ocean Trek Marine to anyone.Matt

If selling a boat had an ‘easy’ button! OceanTrek contacted me shortly after I posted my boat for sale. The communication was clear, and everything was handled remotely within a couple of weeks. If I ever sell another boat, I’ll contact them directly before posting it for sale online. Great company!

I have imported a Regal from Ocean Trek. Residing in Mauritius, it was very difficult for me to make a choice. I would like to thank Rich for the services and advices he gave me to choose the right boat which has reached my yard a week ago. The boat is in excellent condition and beautiful. Thanks again to Rich for the 5 months correspondence and time he spent for me.

To anyone in doubt read the following... I posted my boat for sale on Craigslist the end of 2017. While I had no trouble getting offers, of course, nothing was solid or it would fall through. I was Skeptical when I was contacted by OceanTrek at first but soon saw that they were a legitimate company and very professional. Rich helped me through the entire process from start to finish. Everything was handled on their end and soon I received my money and they got their boat. Even the shipping was simple. If your in doubt like I was, be assured your boat is in the right hands.

Rich shipped my boat from Oakland, CA to Abu Dhabi. He under quoted me and hired third party loaders that jammed my de-mountable trimaran on its side in a 40ft container. On route the hull let down of its primitive restraints which crushed the hull causing a 3 foot long crack in the hull. After initial agreement to cover the cost of repair ($1500) he reneged. Despite the overwhelming 5 star reviews that his company has, I would proceed with caution. When a company is contesting a $1500 repair after admitting they were at fault, you end up wondering the integrity of the ownership.

I have been using Ocean Trek Marine services for all my shipping and importing needs from the USA for a number of years now. My company is based in Brisbane, Australia, and we have finally found a company that can handle our purchasing, surveying, transporting and shipping with confidence. I have got to know the owners of Ocean Trek Marine and have found them to be fantastic to deal with, good communication, and highly recommend the service that they provide.

Very professional, responsive & super helpful - Rich helped me ship a new 24 jetboat from Florida to Qatar.Rich provided clear & competitive quotes and shipping options and worked with the me and the dealer to get the boat delivered to port swiftly in time for a vehicle carrier for Ro-Ro transport.Rich clearly runs on reputation and my experience working with him has been great. Almost too good to be true, but its true. Cannot recommend more. Please feel free to write to me if you have any specific questions.

I had my Trophy walkaround for sale on BoatTrader for about 2 months. Had a few calls and emails, a couple were obviously scammers. So I was skeptical when Rich contacted me about the boat and said he had a buyer in Australia. But I did some research, spoke with Rich a few times, and decided he was legit. The deal went pretty smoothly, as good as most private transactions. Rich wired the money to our bank several days before we supplied the signed title and the boat was picked up. Very comforting, that gave us plenty of time to confirm the wire transfer. Were very pleased with the process, and can highly recommend doing business with Rich and OceanTrek Marine.

From the selection of the vessel to her final delivery OceanTrek Marine particular the MD himself Rich and also his team member Sarah who were always accessible at all times. It was a good decision we made cause Rich was always on top of any matters pertaining to the boat we wanted. It didnt seem to matter what time of day we contacted him (considering of time differences between countries). They are always on hand to answer anything. We trusted Rich to find the boat for us and trusting his judgement implicitly. The boat was well prepared for shipment and everything inside were stowed securely including the extra items we asked Rich to gather for us. The boat arrived two months later in exactly the same condition.Once we were able to look inside the boat, we realised our trust in Richs judgement was well founded.We highly recommend Rich and Sarahs professionalism and customer service and would not hesitate to use their service and expertise again.

Nightmare. Shipped my boat to Hong Kong but they did not drain all the water out of the engine block. Despite engine being surveyed and running fine in Miami water made its way into the engine during shipping.Before paying Rich he said they would take all the water and other fluids out of the engine and boat. After my payment had cleared he said ...well we take out most fluids. The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club prepared a report which I can provide to any interested parties. Richs only response ...well you will have to prove it what a shame. He is a scammer if he can get away with it. So far he has because I am in Hong Kong but will have to file suit in Florida.

We were extremely happy with Rich Arkeys boat importing service, he sourced our Macgregor 26 for us and negotiated a great deal, the purchase, packing, paperwork and shipping were all completely handled by Rich and his team with the utmost care and attention to detail. the whole process was communicated to us very clearly via email and phone and the boat arrived in New Zealand without a hitch. I would thoroughly recommend his service, you have no need to feel nervous about the distance. We are now thoroughly enjoying our Macgregor which would have cost us a great deal more to buy in New Zealand.

Very rewarding experience working with Oceantrek Marine. I was contacted by Rich who was able to put together a sale for my 2012 Ranger Z518C bass boat. The process was simple and Rich was very helpful and knowledgable. I would certainly trust and recommend the services that Oceantrek Marine offers to international buyers and sellers.

After a traumatic experience with a bad carrier, we found Ocean Treck Marine, in whom we trust sending our boat to Chile. A 36 ft vessel. They really are professionals who know how to help and accomplish the mission successfully. We highly recommend them, specially for latinamerican buyers like us.

I would like to especially thanks Rich and Sarah for the excellence of their service. With Oceantrek my 27 foot Worldcat arrived smoothly in Noumea New-Caledonia in a container. Everything is carefully tied and secure, nothing had moved into the container. Rich is always full of good advices and responds quickly to emails . Its extremely stressful to buy a boat without even seeing it but Rich took care of everything from the expert review to the buying of the boat to the shipping and I m delighted with my investment. He even found some spare parts. i have no other words than Thank you very much Oceantrek. A happy customer. Franck.

I have always hesitate to buy my dream boat via internet as most people have the same fear, but few months ago I found Ocean Trek Marine website I read a very important phrase that made me decide to make my fisrt business . It says Taking all the worry out of Buying and Importing a boat from USAThe other most important is that they deal in legal way of payment by wiring the money via bank telex which safely keep both parties rights. They know the market very well and expert in all things related to boats and shiping world wide. know I ve just finished buying my dream boat which came true and within few days will arrive to KuwaitI am quiet satisfied to do my business with Ocean Trek Marine and will soon make another oneThanks to Rich,Sara and all Ocean Trek Marine staff.

Was going to RO-RO my 2006 EBAY purchase Bayliner 2359 which is 8ft 5inches wide to Tonga..Rich suggested side on into a tall 40ft container, Frieght was $10,000 cheaper!!, He picked up the boat from owner, reconditioned. the trailer, dismantled the pilot house, rolled it and slipped it in the container and Packed it really well. Also loaded heaps of extras I sent to the container. Organised everything by email and phone from Tonga and it arrived OK...there were plenty of little scuff marks, a couple of smashed scuppers and one bit of stress cracking of gellcoat, but it is fine. It took 6 days for a few of us to refit everything, clean, polish and launch...HAPPY!..Rich delivered...He knows his stuff!...THANKS...

Review №43

One of the mottos of Oceantrekmarine is:We buy your boat at the best price for you,IS A LIEThe used boat I wanted to buy was for sale for $ 25,900 at the Sportshop store in Roxboro (N.C)Rich ARKEY, general manager of the company, buyer-broker for Oceantrekmarine export clients, had sent me an email informing me that the sale price was already low and that he could not therefore negotiate it.I learned, several months later, through the store, that Rich had paid himmy boat $ 23,900 !!!Rich had therefore lowered the selling price of my boat by $ 2000with the store without notifying me putting my money in his pocket.The icing on the cake: he cashed me $ 500 for the survey (= expertise) of my boat which he never paid: it is a DECEPTION.Another motto of Oceantrekmarine is: STRESS FREE!LIE also, because:Sarah ARKEY, Accounting Secretary of Oceantrekmarine and Rich Arkeynever informed me to have paid the seller for the purchase of my boat !!!So I paid them $ 26,400 without being informed by Oceantrekmarine whether or not the Sportshop store had been paid ....As I was not the buyer at the store, its manager did not respond to my attempt to contact email.MAXIMUM STRESS for 4.5 months until November 30, 20where I learned from Sporstshop that my boat had been paid for.Finally, I agreed to pay them their last three bills of October 27, 2020 for an amount of $ 18,378 which included a trailer, purchases that Rich had encouraged me to make on the WestMarine website, the rental of the container and the freight to PAPEETE, all export formalities and insurance as well as the land transport of the boat and its trailer ....On November 3, 2020, after having paid nearly $ 45,000 to Oceantrekmarine, giving them all my confidence thanks to the satisfied opinions of three of their clients in Papeete,Rich and Sarah ARKEY disappeared for 40 DAYSwithout being reachable or answering on Gmail, Skype or the phone from their office in Lauderdale Lakes: my nightmare was born, it was calledOceantrekmarine export!EPILOGUE:On December 15, 2020, I received an email from Rich telling me that Oceantrekmarine could no longer function as a companyand, by then I had already paid them everything, Oceantrekmarine no longer had the means to export my boat to me !!!Despite this, Rich rushes the same day to the store to try to seize my boat without notifying me of anything ...I had warned the seller to refuse to hand over my boat to Rich .....Today Rich writes to me that I prevented him from exporting my boat to me,and, therefore, refuses to reimburse me for my $ 18,378 since January 2021Yet it was he who had just informed me that he no longer had the means to export it to me ....So, more than a year after the purchase of my boat, I was forced to put my boat up for sale, Rich ARKEY having confiscated my $ 18,378 which was to finalize the operation: UNSECURE INVESTMENT!I obviously recommend this company to anyone who might buy and import a boat.My writing is not defamatory because it is the expression of the truth from emails from different parties.Everything I have written here is verifiable and will soon be used in Browards County Court in Florida to obtain justice and my reimbursement of the amounts incurred.Bruno Tournier
