But more fundamentally, he listened and went the extra mile to ensure that our needs were being met. He understood the obstacles we as buyers faced. He was genuine and direct in his communications. I felt that he did a great job supporting and balancing the needs of the boat, the sellers, and the buyers. I just hope that at the time we must conclude our sailing adventures that Erik is still there at David Walters Yachts. ###### LATEST POSTS [![Image of the related post](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-03-19%20at%2010.09.38%20AM.png) ](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/beneteau-40-seller) [ Beneteau 40 - Seller ](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/beneteau-40-seller) [![Image of the related post](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/hubfs/Hull-Port%20Side.jpeg) ](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/kelland-sewell-buyer-of-hylas-44-penn-station) [ Kelland Sewell - Buyer of Hylas 44 Penn Station ](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/kelland-sewell-buyer-of-hylas-44-penn-station) [![Image of the related post](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/hubfs/Maria%20Christina.jpg) ](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/xavier-a.-seller-beneteau-49-maria-cristina) [ Xavier A. - Seller: Beneteau 49 Maria Cristina ](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/xavier-a.-seller-beneteau-49-maria-cristina) ###### Share [![Facebook](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/hubfs/Website%20Images/facebook-color.png) ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/blog/mark-hoefnagel-buyer-of-hylas-54/889) [![Twitter](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/hubfs/Website%20Images/twitter-color.png) ](https://twitter.com/share?url=https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/blog/mark-hoefnagel-buyer-of-hylas-54/889&text=Mark%20Hoefnagel%20-%20Buyer%20of%20Hylas%2054) [![Email](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/hubfs/Website%20Images/email-color.png) ](mailto:?subject=Mark%20Hoefnagel%20-%20Buyer%20of%20Hylas%2054&body=https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/blog/mark-hoefnagel-buyer-of-hylas-54/889) ##### TELL US ABOUT YOUR DREAM YACHT #### SEND US A MESSAGE Purchasing a bluewater vessel can be a daunting prospect, especially if it’s your first boat.
