Gotta Get Up to Get Downeast in Galesville - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Having sold our well loved fast trawler, we were anxious to buy a new/nearly new Sabre 45, in time for the 2019 season. After frustrating experiences with other dealer/ brokers, we ran into Bradley at the Palm Beach Show. Within 24 hours of meeting him, we were under contract on a Sabre 48. He helped us bring her north to Baltimore a month later. After experiencing myriad trips to and from Florida, we would say , without equivocation, he was one of the best shipmates you could ask for, in addition to being the only broker that ever asked us "What do YOU want?"

Bradley was an amazing facilitator of our purchase this past holiday season. Not only did he organize the survey, hauling, and sea trials for an out of town buyer (me), he did it all over the holiday season such that the boat arrived in South FL on Christmas Eve! Truly lucky that my boat purchasing path found Bradley, true professional.

We could make this review very short, by just saying “ditto” as to all the other comments, 5 Stars and 10 out of 10. It would be accurate and true. In the almost five years now that we have known Brad, since the purchase of our first motor yacht, a lovely BC 41, we have come to know him quite well. In our opinion, all of the fine traits described are 100% genuine and notwithstanding the enormous energy necessary to maintain his high standards of professionalism, follow up and individual attention to clients, Brad is consistently the same person: low key, unhurried and kind. However, beware! He may find you the perfect boat when you’re not even looking. We are now the new owners of an almost brand new Sabre 45 SE that is being lovingly prepped this winter by the awesome folks at Shady Oaks! Nancy Oliver & Geoff Hodgdon

My wife and I have been boating for over 20 years on the Bay. In all that time, we have not had a better buying experience than with Bradley. He helped us sell our existing boat (in two weeks) and not only helped us find, but helped us deliver our 2016 Back Cove 37. On the trip north he even fought off a few pesky sharks....

It has been a great experience working with Bradley regarding a Back Cove 34o. He is helpful, flexible and reliable. A true professional focused on customer service, even after the purchase and delivery. The team at DiMillo's Shady Oaks Marina has been great to work with as well.

Brad and I did a deal together on a BC 41. He was great to work with and with all the Covid restrictions he went over and above helping the deal to close. Good attention to details too.

With a not so nice weather window looming that threatened to delay the delivery of my new (used) S45 SE, Bradley and Egan stepped in and made the run from West River, MD to the Connecticut River in time for us to enjoy the late Fall season. They sent periodic messages keeping us apprised of their progress and arrived on schedule without drama. They turned the Sabre over to us in fine shape with just enough time to coach us with the details we needed. A professional and amiable team and a job well done.

It was a pleasure working with Bradley. He was reliable, responsive and knowledgeable. I consider him a yacht Sales professional with great people skills. I recommend Bradley and would be happy to work with him again.

Bradley and Egan, Bradley’s associate, assisted me in piloting my purchase from Annapolis, MD to Upstate NY via the Erie Canal. Good teachers and even better cooks. Can’t go wrong with these professionals.

Bradley Peer is an outstanding broker, resource and gentleman. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with him over the last few months. His expertise and service-oriented demeanor contributed to our confidence in and fondness for Brad. He guided us through a survey including a sea trial in 30-degree weather. Even after the sale our questions were answered quickly and correctly. We are not quite sure what our next boat will look like however I strongly believe that Brad will be involved. After 40 years of boating, and 9 boats, I have come in contact with a few brokers and Bradley Peer is at the top of that list. Bob D

We first met Brad 9 months before we took delivery of our boat. We have owned many boats and had done extensive research. We had a clear picture of what we wanted. From our initial meeting through our first year of ownership, Brad has always been readily available. He joined us for a factory visit, commissioning, and delivery in Maine; as well as accompanying us to bring the vessel home to Indian River Delaware. No matter how well made a boat is, there will always be some issues and it is how these issues are handled that determines whether you have a good or bad experience. Brad was proactive and facilitated resolving all issues. He didn't rest until we were completely satisfied. He helped us follow up on maintenance and warranty issues in a patient and professional manner. Hugh and Rosemary Pedley

Brad has been wonderful to work with! We have worked on multiple projects together and each time he is very professional! Would highly recommend working with Brad! 10/10

Through the purchases of 15 yachts over the past 49 years, Brad is the best we’ve worked with. If you are looking for an accommodating, competent and straightforward partner to help you locate a suitable craft and transact the entire deal, he’s your man. If you are looking for someone to creatively meet challenges to ensure a high chance of success while solving your concerns, he’s your man.

I have worked with Brad on a number of deliveries/ projects over the last few years. I have found Brad and his team at Shady Oaks to be personable, honest and very reliable. Whether you are a seasoned owner or a first time buyer looking for that perfect yacht, I highly recommend working with Brad.

Brad Peer has given me and my family the white glove treatment from the beginning of our research to buying our Sabre 45. He and the team at DiMillo's Shady Oaks Marina have been fabulous. He has taken the time to educate us on the boat features and operations and continues always support our needs. We highly recommend Brad if your looking for a boat!

Brad Peer and the team at Shady Oaks Marina in West River, MD guided us through the purchase of a 34 Back Cove. The marina has also become the home to our new boat. He and the Demillo’s group are are a great resource on the bay. Brad has the patience of Job, which is a great attribute in any customer facing business.

Brad is a reliable and honest broker who has gone the extra mile (or two) to ensure our satisfaction and enjoyment with the Sabre 45 we purchased from DIMillo’s this past January. We highly recommend him.

Brad genuinely cared about educating me and helping me make an informed decision. I love the yacht and appreciated the honesty through the entire sale

Brad has a tireless devotion to getting success for his customers. Verified purchaser.

Posting for Edmund Leece: Being a first time yacht buyer can be a very stressful thing. It’s a big investment and a life changing experience. I first met Brad at the 2017 Baltimore boat show. I knew exactly which make and model of boat I wanted. However, that boat was not in the DiMillo's Yacht Sales inventory. I gave him my contact information and continued around the boat show to see what other brokers had to offer. A few hours after I left the show, he contacted me with some exact makes and models I was interested in. Out of all of the other brokers, Brad was the only one that contacted me with possible leads. Over the course of a few months, Brad worked tirelessly and professionally to find exactly what I wanted. Brad has consistently proved to be an asset for me in the yachting community. He has also gone above and beyond his professional capacities. He has given me leads on local hot spots for boating and eating in and around Maryland. If you are shopping around for a yacht the folks at DiMillo's Yacht Sales are consistent in professionalism and knowledge of the yachting world. Brad exemplifies this consistency of professionalism and knowledge.

The people were very nice and helpful with the purchase of our boat, Brad Peer was very helpful and not pushy, would buy from him again.

Damn fine coffee: fruity, balanced, rich. Tasty local fresh pastries. Friendly staff. Good ambience.

I met the owner 30 times before i figured out he was the owner which is how owners should be. Unassuming, hands-on and genuinely interested in providing a great space and service. Because the space is connected to condos in the area there is a great communal and social atmosphere, but not to a point where you can't get work done. 5 stars.

Great place to hang out, have some coffee, and do some studying. I love the atmosphere and how most of the music they play is from a record player. The baristas are really cool, nice guys, and their food is delicious as well. I personally recommend the Turkey Pesto panini.

Great coffee, prompt service w attention to detail. Will go every time I'm in Knoxville.

Brad and crew are all incredible friendly. Their coffee is excellent. If you are a fan of good real cappuccinos, you will love this place. The beer selection is an ever changing solid collection of craft beers that leaves you wanting more. If you need advice, the staff is very knowledgeable. Overall, I have enjoyed this Brew Parlor every time I have gone.
