    Clients’ Testimonials

    • You have been a God send! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. If you EVER need a recommendation, have anyone call me. I appreciate the care and concern you gave us. It means so much when there was so much that didn’t go right. You were the consistent, positive light. Looking forward to seeing you soon. We are forever grateful.

    • I would like to thank you for your contributions to this refit. Without you, this ship would still be on blocks, and I would be bald from pulling out my own hair. It’s hard to believe that this project has finally come to an end, and although I am happy that this ordeal is over, it was a pleasure to work with you. Your composure and ability to control the chaos that developed was admirable, and on behalf of our family and crew, thank you for all of your hard work. Hopefully we won’t need your help again in the near future, but if we do, I know who we will be calling.

    • DFD managed for a demanding owner a six million dollar refit at our yard. I would suggest they very much helped keep the project on track for both parties. I cannot imagine anyone being more qualified.

    • I have been working with DFD for several years now. They have proven to be an immensely valuable resource during our shipyard periods. DFD has been instrumental in laying out time lines, helping with vendors, documenting the yard period class issues, billing concerns, and any drawings or design work the yacht has needed. Sean has always been a great buffer between myself and the yard, when difficult matters with contractors occur. We rely on DFD for a diverse range of expertise, and I would recommend them to anyone.

Sean’s vast experience in project management has been instrumental in keeping the yard period on schedule and within budget. I would highly recommend DFD for any major yard refit you plan on doing.
