Getting the most out of your boat sale requires a significant investment of time, energy, and expertise. We do what we can to take care of all the details so you don’t have to.
Our job starts with an assessment of your boat and preparation phase to maximize your return.
What is your boat worth in the current market?
What issues do you need to address before listing?
What steps can you take to boost your selling potential?
What do you do to ensure your listing gets top exposure among qualified buyers?
We work with you to ensure your boat is well-positioned in the marketplace in order to get the best return for you that we can.
The process of selling a boat involves a lot of steps beyond listing it and accepting an offer. Let us take care of the details so you can dedicate your time elsewhere.
We’ll make sure you’re asking the right price.
As full-time brokers, we show your boat when clients are available – including weekends and holidays when the buyers have time.
We provide a buffer between you and the purchaser, helping to take the emotions out of the selling process.
We ensure all paperwork and legal documentation is completed and funds are managed appropriately.
Providing guidance and professionalism while taking care of the details is where a yacht broker can really shine. By putting us in charge of the entire process you have a great chance of maximizing your selling price while minimizing your time spent and risks taken.
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution to selling a boat: we don’t take the exact same steps when selling an Ocean Alexander as we would a Campion. Below you’ll find a quick outline of the major phases of the boat selling process.
Listing
We’ll start by identifying your boat’s unique selling features and assessing its fair market value. Before listing, we’ll help guide you through how to best prepare your boat and help arrange for cleaning and mechanical surveys where appropriate. When we’re ready to list, we’ll combine professional photos with an enticing listing marketed on top platforms, and promptly respond to all inquiries.
Showing
Our goal is to showcase your boat to serious buyers who understand its value. After your boat is listed we’ll manage inquiries, screen and qualify potential buyers, and schedule viewings at their convenience. We’ll be present during showings, providing answers to any questions and following up with any leads.
Closing
With potential buyers found, we’ll negotiate offers to reach a contractual agreement on price and terms. The deposit will be securely held, and we’ll assist with surveys, haul outs, and clearing any conditions. We manage closing documentation, funding, and ownership transfer, ensuring a smooth transaction from start to finish.
