👍👍 I worked with Kevin McNally and he was AMAZING!!! Kevin’s Expert technical knowledge and ability to communicate and to all parties was outstanding. Kevin was able to broker a sale across the multiple states as if he was sitting right beside you. I would not trust anyone else in this situation.

    Although I've known Kevin McNally for nearly 6 years - starting when we were looking to buy a boat back in 2017 - I did not fully understand & appreciate his level of expertise & professionalism until we engaged his services to sell our boat. From start to finish, Kevin did a masterful job of developing the content to properly market & then went about executing upon his plan, resulting in an off-season (read that: out of water/in storage) contract & closing within 45 days of listing. We could not be happier with Kevin's performance and - by extension - the team at JBYS producing such a seamless outcome so quickly. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

    Kevin is awesome !! He met my husband and I for a complimentary walk around on our boat. We are new to the boating community and he was generous with his time and knowledge-) We are definitely going to be in touch with him for a course on the waterways and getting to know “boat life” -) so happy to have met him!!

    I would like to share my experience with Kevin McNally. I don’t know if I have ever been instructed by a more knowledgeable person ever. As a rookie boater I appreciate his technique and expertise in teaching me the proper way to operate our boat. Kevin throughly explains what to do, why and when to do it. Kevin explains and demonstrates with patience and understanding. I also have to mention he is a very nice person. I would recommend his professional instruction to all new boaters. Me and my wife are looking forward to his Boaters Safety Class this fall! Tom & Peggy Palmer

    I recently sold my boat using Kevin McNally of Jefferson Beach as my broker. He did an amazing job....boat was sold in days and me, the seller, and the buyers are delighted! I trust Kevin and will buy my next boat from him.

    Kevin McNally gave me a tutorial on how to dock my boat correctly and safely. His exceptional instructions gave me a better understanding on how to maneuver my boat at various conditions. With this tutorial, I now have the confidence to dock my boat safely. I highly recommend Kevin's tutorial for any boat owners who are looking to improve their docking skills. Thank you Kevin for your patience and expertise!

    Mr. Kevin McNally was exceptionally professional when selling my boat The Cordelia, a 33 foot Sea Ray. I highly recommend this gentleman and the company he represents for handling the sale and purchase of a vessel. He knew my boat better than I did, gave great advice for my preparing her and he ushered in potential buyers with relative ease. Great experience.

    I'm a big time DIYer and when it comes to shopping for a good deal, I always make it my mission to find the perfect thing to meet our need. When my wife and I decided to consider purchasing a boat, my quest began by searching the web for something that would fit our family. Being first-time boat owners, there was a lot of things I didn't know. We sort of stumbled upon Kevin McNally in the process and he was an absolute blessing. The guy knows everything there is to know about boats and he is so generous with his knowledge and time. He's a teacher at heart and boating is without a doubt his passion! I'm convinced he was born for this! I've never felt more comfortable working with a "salesman" of any kind. I hesitate to even call Kevin that because he really was so much more! His kindness, patience, expertise, and all around willingness to help were absolutely mind-blowing! It's not often I come across someone like Kevin and it truly was a joy to work with him as he got us into our boat. We are now happy owners. Kevin took the time to answer all my questions (and still is). He walked me through every detail and every question I had, multiple times. He emphasized safety. He taught me what I needed to know. And he did it all with patience and ease. Oh, and I must add that our boat is certainly nothing massive or ultra-luxurious, yet Kevin treated us as if we were just as important as any other buyer. He is a genuine dude. Simply the best. I will be recommending him to anyone and everyone who shows even the tiniest amount of interest in boating! Thank you Kevin!

    Kevin McNally was extremely patient and knowledgeable in assisting this first-time buyer. He was easy to get in touch with, followed up quickly and made sure I was comfortable with what I was getting. I will definitely seek Kevin's help for my next transaction.

  • 5/5 Alex T. 3 years ago on Google
    Being a first time boat buyer, I had a lot of questions. Kevin McNally was able to answer each and every one of them. He went above and beyond his duties to ensure that I was getting the boat that I wanted. Whenever I had question or concern I was able to email, text, or call Kevin and get a super fast response. Purchasing a boat as a first time buyer can be a daunting task, but Kevin was with me every step of the way. If you want a boat, call Kevin!

    Kevin McNally is about as smooth and detailed as a boat broker one would want to work with. His professionalism and passion for this industry rivals his knowledge of boats in general, which are second to none. Would highly recommend and will certainly be using him in the future as well!

    I purchased a Sea Ray 400 working w/ Sam Mesi, Ron Silva, and Jody Clemons. From an after-hours showing, reconfiguring my dock to accommodate it and processing the paperwork in record time, I could not be more impressed. And the aftercare has been stellar. Rarely have I been able to recommend a firm with such confidence as I am Jefferson Beach Yachts.

    We bought a new boat last year with David from Jefferson. He is great and checks in to make sure everything is going well!

  • 5/5 Brian B. 3 years ago on Google
    Kevin did an absolute incredible job in selling our boat! The quality of ad he put together had the boat under contract in 3 days and his ability to manage even the most difficult of a buyer kept the deal moving forward and close. I will definitely use JBYS and Kevin McNally in the future and gladly recommend him to anyone considering selling their boat! Thanks again Kevin

    Recently bought a 2003 Chaparral Signature 280 from Kevin at Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales. As first time boat owners, he helped us every step along the way. He was very patient with us for 12-18 months to help us find the perfect used starter boat at a great price. Even though he typically works with boats over 40 foot, he always made time for us and our many questions. He was honest about boats that he didn’t think met the quality or conditions we were looking for and called us right away when he found a possible fit. He was thorough in the contract paperwork, helping us create an escrow arrangement for the items that needed to be tested after launch. He was very hands-on for the launch and delivery, spending time to perform all checks and ensure a successful trip from storage, through the Chicago locks, and into the harbor — including tips about the boat, docking, and managing our lines. It was like having a helpful friend to call for any issues or questions. We also look forward to taking a Captain’s Class from him soon. Kevin is a great asset to the Jefferson Beach team and we would highly recommend both to anyone in the market for a great experience!

    If you need a boat you need to call Kevin McNally. Not only is he a great knowledgeable broker but he will also help every step of the way. After you buy your new boat he will also make sure to assist you with learning how to safely drive and maintain your boat. Great guy, with over 30 years of experience.

    Kevin McNally taught a very potent boat/water safety class & provided the 34 person class a reference guide for future reference. Very polished & encompassing covered a lot of ground. With all of the information provided it was like trying to drink water from a fire hose at full blast. Learned how to make a proper MAYDAY call in the correct radio channel.
