Conclusion

If you are located in the Northwest area of the United States, more specifically Edmonds, WA, and wish to purchase an Albemarle yacht, you may want to check out Edmonds Yachts. However, those located out of this area or not interested in Albemarle may want to do business with another dealer. Also, those thinking of doing business with Albemarle should do their research first. Although the site offers information on Albemarle Boats, they offer little information on their company, Edmonds Yacht Sales, itself. In particular, their site is peculiarly lacking in customer reviews, either positive or negative. However, they offer a quality product and have been in business since the 70’s. Interested yacht seekers should give the company a second look.
