A Three-Year Journey to the Perfect Yacht

This has been a long three-year process, and after doing a great deal of research, and many years as traditional trawler owners, we knew the Outer Reef was exactly what we wanted after stepping aboard our first one at the Palm Beach Boat Show. We met John Dennison there for the first time, and he has been incredibly patient and caring with us over the last three years, helping us find the perfect boat. The layout and design of the Outer Reef is absolutely perfect for our family.

What also meant so much to us was how welcoming the entire Outer Reef team has been. For the past three years, everyone has answered our questions and treated us like family, and that played a big role in our decision.

We’re going to work hard to bring Colette back to her original glory, and we’re proud to represent Outer Reef along the Gulf Coast. We’re a very active boating family in the Pensacola area and participate in many of the yachting activities here, entertaining often and sharing our boating life with others. You’ll be seeing many photos of our Outer Reef and the wonderful events we’re part of. We’re also active with the American Magic program here in Pensacola, and we hope to make you and the entire Outer Reef team proud of the way we represent the brand.

Thank you for building such a wonderful, safe, and beautiful yacht. We look forward to many years of enjoyment aboard her.

- Joe and Donna Meeks, Owners of Outer Reef 730 Classic Motoryacht "COLETTE"
