Ian B. on delivery of his C100 “Kelpie”, March 2023

“Buying a new 32’ cruiser as your first boat is pretty intimidating and no matter how much research you do yourself (I did a lot) you need to rely on trusted advisors to help you make good decisions in your best interests. I had that with Nick, Larry, and Steven. It was also fun! I just plain enjoyed talking to Nick, Larry, and Steven over the last 18 months.

I also appreciate the level of thoughtfulness that went into the design. I am an engineer by training so I tend to be a bit obsessive about details and quality. There is a reason why each component has been selected to work well together on the boat. If Larry has it on the boat, there is a very good reason why. Having those decades of expertise and experience factored into the initial build gave me peace of mind; very valuable as a first-time buyer.

What I have found most gratifying about my experience working with Aspen is their level of professional integrity. I know there were times where they put my interests first when they didn’t have to. This is impressive at any time but in the context of a supply chain crisis, unprecedented demand for boats and runaway inflation, extremely commendable.”
