Customer: John & Jeanne Rothchild

After spending 32 plus years as Captain of a research vessel, it was time to retire and enjoy boating on my own terms. For the past few years, my wife and I had been searching (mainly online) for the right boat that would allow us to go out for day sails, as well as two to three week cruises, and also have enough room to bring friends & family along. During the Miami Boat Shows, we always visited the Massey booth and came to appreciate the Catalina line, but could not determine which model would suit us. After spending time with Capt. John Barr
looking at several boats in person, including his own, as well as discussions over the phone, he helped us narrow down our search to a Catalina 387. When it was time to make an offer, he first explained the entire process step by step, and guided us through the procedure. Being unfamiliar with today’s requirements, John made sure we knew what to expect so that there were no surprises. From beginning to end, he was professional, knowledgeable, personable and always available to answer any and every question. We would not hesitate to recommend John Barr or the staff at Massey Yacht Sales & Service to anyone in search of a new or used boat.
