“I have used John for my last three transactions, both selling and purchasing. He has been nothing but timely and efficient for both parties. He represents both sides well and offers speedy solutions. He is genuine and a great guy.”

“I worked with John in the spring of 2025 to purchase our 2004 Clyber center console. Throughout the entire process, John was very helpful, knowledgeable, honest, and provided excellent customer service. He expertly guided both myself and my captain through the sea trial, survey, and closing, making the process simple and straightforward. I look forward to working with John again when we decide to sell our current sportfish and move to a larger one.”

“I’ve listed three very different boats with John, a center console, an express, and a sportfisher, and I honestly can’t imagine using anyone else. The brokerage industry is full of people who charter, operate, or service boats as their primary job, but John is a true broker first. Since I am not local to my boat, having someone reliable and trustworthy matters a lot. Anytime I need something, big or small, he either handles it himself or quickly connects me with the right person. He is extremely well connected and makes the entire process easy. I can’t recommend John enough.”

“To the Team at Delmarva Marine Group,

I have worked with John Praether across three major transactions—selling twoof my boats and ordering a new one—and I can confidently say he is the best in the business. Both of my boats were sold quickly and for a fair price, and the process of orderng the new one was incredibly smooth.

John’s many years of experience in the sport fishing and charter fishing industry are a total game-changer. He doesn’t just sell boats; he actually knows what is needed on a fishing boat because he’s lived it. He understands the layout, the rigging, and the functionality required for a successful day on the water.

His move to partner at Delmarva Marine Group in Ocean City is a huge win for local boaters and fisherman. You get top-tier service, deep industry expertise, and a seamless process every time. I highly recommend John and the new team to anyone looking for a true professional who knows the water!”
