"I have always expected a high level of proficiency from everyone I do business with so have never been one to write a glowing letter about a company. There are, however, those rare occasions when I find myself doing business with a very extraordinary company and in this case it was Mikelson Yachts. All my dealings with Mikelson have exceeded all my expectations. The whole experience was superior and I will recommend Mikelson Yachts whenever and wherever I can. I just returned from a 10 day, 1100 mile trip down the Pacific Coast of Baja. There were six of us on board and due to the Mikelson design with the huge bridge and wide cabins we were always comfortable. This has not been my experience on other 43 footers. On top of that, the boat performed flawlessly. My sincere thanks to the entire Mikelson Team."

The following is from a letter written by Jerry Taylor, a very well know east and west coast delivery skipper who has literally hundreds of long deliveries on every kind of boat, big and small. This was after delivering the Mikelson 59 Nomad from Cabo to San Diego, which is usually pretty tough. "The Nomad holds 2010 gallons of diesel and 350 gallons of water. She features a real standup engine room and is chock full of happy surprises providing total safety, privacy and comfort for everyone lucky enough to be on board. All systems, plumbing, electrical and mechanical seem massive and built to the highest standards. In 35 years of dedicated yacht delivery and 200,000 sea miles, this is the finest production power boat we've ever been associated with. I don't know how Mikelson can offer such a complete package at such a competitive price. More people should know about this great boat."

"My wife and I have owned Nomad #3 for about a month. We have had it out in a very rough seas and in calm seas. We are excited to be able to say that in every aspect it has exceeded our expectations. The day we took delivery we traveled 80 miles into the rough seas at 15 knots in order to reach Catalina before dark. The boat handled the seas with no effort. When we arrived at Avalon they told us that we were the only boat that made it through from San Diego that day. We are comfortably able to handle the boat by ourselves. With the wing stations, docking and departing from the dock is a pleasure. The workmanship both inside and outside the boat is excellent. Everywhere we go people tell us how beautiful the boat is. We give Mikelson and the Nomad our highest recommendation."

"It's been nearly four months since we took delivery of our new Mikelson 61 and I wanted to share with you how satisfied we have been, not only with the new boat, but the entire experience with your organization. I chose the Mikelson 61 because sit was the only boat on the market that was able to offer serious sport fishing capabilities along with the comfort and practicality of a pilothouse. Your teams' technical expertise and advice was always appreciated and certainly met my expectations. However, what really exceeded my expectations was everybody's friendly, positive, "can do" attitude." It's clear to me that Mikelson Yachts makes their customers happy by building them what they want. Please don't change the way you do business."

"I have just completed my first year in my 61' Pilothouse, to say I am more than satisfied is an understatement. Oh, what a fishing machine! We had one day with 2 anglers who had never caught a marlin. They intentionally released 5 striped Marlin 120-160 lbs. and accidentally broker off 4 others, all in one 8 hour period. Upon completion of our trip, Scottie told Capt. Paul, 'Mikelson is a great boat, but you know what is the best part? It's the people. I have been here twice with Bill during commissioning and now, and you guys are great.'"

"It's very rare that my wife and I feel compelled to write a letter of appreciation but our experience with Mikelson Yachts precipitated that need. Simply stated - we love our new Mikelson 50! Who would have thought that you could order a 50 yacht and be given the opportunity to custom design the interior to our needs? The fly bridge is outstanding and the ease of operation is incredible. On only does this boat maneuver in text book fashion, but she is exceptionally quiet and smooth. Our overall satisfaction with the Mikelson owners and staff is and was wonderful. Each and every person we came in contact with was a true professional. It was a real pleasure working with the Mikelson team. Thank you Mikelson Yachts for such a positive experience."

"With the introduction of the 61 Pilothouse Sportfisher you have raised the bar for all other builders. The execution of the design is even more impressive in both finish and performance. Everyone who has seen the boat has commented that it is the finest in its class. What is most impressive, however, is the dedication and determination that you and all of your staff displayed in making certain that everything wad done properly and all our needs were met. I have no doubt that I have the finest yacht on Florida's first coast."

"When I sat down to review drawings I was only able to see the paper image of the boats layout. You do not feel the real essence of the workmanship or the quality looking at the flat drawings. I was in awe when my eyes saw my boat for the first time. I was able to see and feel the design come to life. This only happens if you can get the cooperation that Mikelson offers and I thank every one that worked with me, and that is the whole staff."

"The bridge/helm station on the Mikelson is as well organized as the cockpit of my 767. Every switch and instrument display on the Mikelson is highly visible and easily accessible. The engine instruments are right in front of your eyes where they belong and the radar and GPS to the right where they are easily seen and reached. An additional bonus is that almost everything can be seen from the second helm station at the rear of the bridge. My hat is off to you and Tom Fexas. I've looked at hundreds of boats in the last few years and I know quality when I see it. I don't think I've ever encountered this kind of quality and value so skillfully executed, especially in a boat so perfectly designed for two purposes, sportfishing and cruising."

"When my wife and I first ordered the boat, a year's wait seemed like a long time. But the experience of selecting the engines, selecting all the fabrics inside the boat, configuring the salon to our liking, and selecting the electronics for the Flybridge filled the year. Another bonus of the year of planning was working with the Mikelson people. We found each and every one to be a joy to work with. Each was knowledgeable in his own area of expertise and fun to work with. I read in "Sea magazine an article that talked about a ·"revolution in design", putting the engine room under the cockpit instead of the salon. Since the engine room in my Trojan 11 meter is under the salon I could immediately relate the advantages of the new design; no noise under the salon, guests need not be disrupted for engine room checks, and best of all I could stand up straight while working in the engine room and have full daylight so that I could see. Thanks again to Mikelson and Tom Fexas for an outstanding job!"

"For the last two years, my wife and I have been seriously looking at and researching about boats. We chose the Mikelson 50' Sportfisher because of its ability to function smoothly according to our needs, and its special beauty. The reports from the community were excellent regarding the boats performance. But more importantly everyone we talked to including bankers, insurance agents, boat owners, and craftsmen liked working with Mikelson Yachts and their people."

"When we began to consider purchasing another boat, our main priority was to find a boat we both loved. Although it took some perseverance and time to find a boat with all the qualities we were looking for, we finally found it in the Mikelson SO Sportfisher. It was perfect! When people walk by our boat, they stop, take a second look, and inquire as to the make of the boat. We proudly tell them it is a Mikelson SO and invite them in then beam from ear to ear as they comment on what a lovely, spacious boat the Mikelson is. But the real test of a superb boat is to take her out to see. Once again, the Mikelson did not disappoint us. It was smooth and steady cutting through the waves like butter. It was such a delight to be fishing all day on a vessel that didn't make us wish we were back on land."

"Following are excerpts from a few of the many letters Mikelson has received from proud owners. "Clearly one factor has contributed more to the fulfilling of my lifetime dream than any other, Mikelson Yachts and two gentlemen named Dick Peterson and Pat Sullivan. From the moment I met them at the Chula Vista Boat Show my boating experience was changed. Your firm's willingness to support me before and after completion of my boat was exceptional."
