Dear Yachting Enthusiasts,

I have known John Gladstone for 30 plus years. He worked with me at North Sails for many of those years. He is an absolute pleasure to know personally and professionally. He is passionate about all things to do with yachting, both power and sail. John cares about each and every client he deals with and is fully committed to make them satisfied in every way. He has the highest integrity in all areas, and as a result, I recommend him unequivocally to anyone looking for a boat that will suit their needs.

I had the good fortune to work with John Gladstone in 2020-2021 as he helped me acquire one of the two J65’s that were built. This represented a big step up from my 43’ sailboat. John patiently translated the complexity of this distinctive yacht into terms I could both understand and appreciate. John enriched the experience for me with his extraordinary expertise and his rich well of enthusiasm.

Notably, months after the sale closed, he has continued to assist me with the boat, it’s extensive sail inventory and connections to all of the resources I need to make learning and appreciating this boat a meaningful, very enjoyable process. John’s passion for sailing and for the joys of the ocean are reflected in his attitude and the attention he brings to supporting his clients. I consider myself very fortunate to count myself among them.

I unhesitatingly recommend John.

Dear Yachting Friends,

I have known and worked with John Gladstone since 1985. First in his early roles at North Sails building sails for a 51’ then a 62’ sailboat then onto representing me acquiring a Hinckley 55 Talaria powerboat and a Morris M52 sailboat. John continues to help me use and enjoy both of these special yachts of a lifetime with a the greatest of expertise and care.

John brings a truly passionate Whatever/Whenever approach to the table and is a special partner for all aspects of life on the oceans.

I recommend John with great enthusiasm.

John Gladstone is a highly accomplished sailor. He has been around boats his entire life and has worked at the top of the marine industry while also competing at the highest level of yacht racing. He has also been involved in a number of very sophisticated large yacht programs. I have known John through sailing for over 20 years. When it comes to guiding a yachting program, he has four attributes that impress me as a yacht owner.

1. He is extremely client-centered, he listens, and he will move heaven and earth to make good things happen

2. He knows the industry, knows all the key people, and knows how to deliver great resources

3. He is very technical. He knows his stuff and will provide informed, objective perspectives and advice

4. He is completely honest. He demonstrates great ethics as a professional and as a person.
