What Our Customers Say

We sold our sailboat!! Thanks Wayne!! Been great working with you and thanks for sticking with it and working with us throughout the entire process! Highly recommend to others!!

Patty Curtis

Tracy was incredibly helpful, and showed us around a boat we were interested in. We later put an offer on that boat, but ended up falling out for other reasons. The whole process was very smooth and helpful even though it didn't work out. Great guy, great experience. Thanks guys.

We have bought and sold numerous boats over the years and I have never been as pleased with the broker as we have been with Geli Burgin at Atomic Tuna. Her advertising was 1st rate. She was 100% dependable, timely, knowledgeable and very pleasant to deal with. Thank you Geli.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for all that you did to help us get in our boat. And I want you to know I love love love those atomic tuna hats. Whoever picked those out did a great job color everything it's like I hope it never wears out. Anyway, a big shout out to Atomic tuna and you for all that you did and I just wanted to take the time to say thank you hope you have a great rest of the year and stay in touch.

Jon Trovati

If you want to buy/sell your boat you have come to the right place. Very knowledgeable brokers assist you in the selling or purchase process all the way through. If you are new boating they will take the time to explain to you the process from beginning to end. If you want to work with a set of brokers with a high degree of integrity you have come to the right place. Power, Sail, or Catamaran.

Michael Severson from SeaWind Sailing and Travel

Often, these reviews are done in the heat-of-the-moment. Which can work either way depending on a lot of factors. I chose to wait a few months after my purchase to really gain a perspective on my purchase of our 2016 Beneteau 41 Sailboat. On reflection, Atomic Tuna did a great job for us. The team was well trained and professional and delivered to me all the information I needed to make an informed decision. But, there was an issue during the course of negotiations. It wasn't big, so no details here. It was just an issue at the time. My point is that Atomic Tuna made it right. They did not have to and knew the deal was going through regardless, but they stepped up. As you choose a broker, keep in mind this story. If everything goes perfectly, you can have a crummy broker, BUT if you choose your broker based on your own personal worst-case-scenario, you would do well by choosing Atomic Tuna as they have proven to me that they take care of their customers FIRST and FOREMOST.

Maxwell Anthony Andy Graham

Thank you, Atomic Tuna and Farallone Yachts for hosting the virtual boat show. We would rather be out there in San Francisco in person, but this event really helped us get our cruising fix, and learn a tremendous amount in the process. Now if we could just work on adding some virtual reality sailing next time it would be perfect!

Deanna Landers

Working with Wayne has been an excellent experience. I purchased my boat through him. We discussed at length what I wanted to accomplish. He directed me to some quality blue water cruiser, managed the purchase, and continued to support me until I got underway. That was two years ago. He cares about his clients. I cannot recommend Atomic Tuna enough.

Kurt Christofferson

After looking for over ten years, i purchased my first and probably only boat through Atomic Tuna. I had the opportunity to work with Wayne from start to finish. He exemplifies the cliche of "going above and beyond".I continually put the cart before the horse throughout the process, but Wayne was always there to keep the process on track. Atomic tuna and Wayne significantly raise the bar for all yacht brockerages/brokers.

Chase Linrothe

My husband and I had the great pleasure of purchasing a sailboat from Atomic Tuna with Geli helping us every step of the way. She is a professional and is very knowledgeable in every aspect of the buying process. She was there for us very time we had a question and was patient with our obvious inexperience. her kindness, experience and overall knowledge made our experience very pleasurable. We would highly recommend her to anyone thinking of purchasing a boat!

Jeanine Rutherford 

This was an amazing tour! You definitely sold me, one of the best walk-through videos I've seen. you really know your product. Love the way you did some of the walk through under way. This was Toby Hodges level.

My wife and i purchased our forest boat through Atomic Tuna Yacht Sales. Michele was very helpful in guiding us through the process, answering questions, and in making certain our needs were addressed every step of the way. Even after the transaction was completed, she strives to help ensure our boat ownership experience is extremely positive, Wayne ensured the transaction was efficient, and that we had a all the information we needed on a very timely manner. I would highly recommend Atomic Tuna yachts!

Tracy Reigelman

I've been a blue water sailor and 9 boat owner over the past 40 years. So I would say that I'm reasonably experienced in the process of evaluating a yacht broker. Mr. Wayne Goldman is a signature level professional with years of clearly evident experience. His commitment to detail and personal integrity has been our most appreciated pleasure in working with him and the team at Atomic Tuna. Our 70 foot motor yacht was cleaned, staged, video, photo and 3D scanned to provide the most accurate presentation of it's market offering. The Atomic Tuna team have been responsive to buyers agents 24/7 by phone and in person...

Former Williams-Sonoma manager charged with fraud totaling more than $10 million

SAN FRANCISCO -- A former employee of San Francisco-based Williams-Sonoma was charged on Wednesday with defrauding the company more than $10 million, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Northern District of California .

A federal grand jury in San Francisco indicted 48-year-old Ben Thomas III of Georgia with eight counts of wire fraud and four counts of money laundering.

Thomas is alleged to have registered a fake company called Empire Logistics Services (Empire) billing Williams Sonoma, Inc. millions of dollars for work that Empire never performed, according to the indictment.

The indictment says Thomas allegedly spent the money on a yacht, automobiles, sporting events tickets, pet cloning, a 12,000-square-foot home, and professional landscaping services for the home.

Thomas worked as a general manager at a Williams-Sonoma hub and distribution facility in Braselton, Georgia from 2016-2023.

From 2017-2023, he allegedly submitted hundreds of Empire invoices to Williams-Sonoma, each one under his $50,000 approval limit, and approving them.

During that time, Thomas made 335 payments totaling $10 million to a bank account he managed.

"The defendant is charged with enriching himself by cheating his employer, a publicly traded company. The U.S. Attorney's Office is committed to rooting out fraud in this District and to ensuring that those who abuse positions of trust and authority are held accountable for their actions," said U.S. Attorney Ramsey, in the press release.

Thomas is scheduled to appear in San Francisco federal court on Oct. 1.
