Frequently asked questions

Why use a broker rather than selling or buying privately

Using a broker can simplify complex transactions, offering access to a wider network and professional guidance. This can reduce risks and delays often encountered in private deals, especially when handling legal and technical aspects involved in yacht sales.

How the broker helps sell a boat

A broker manages marketing, negotiates with potential buyers, and facilitates viewings and inspections. They help prepare accurate listings and advise on pricing strategy, helping to present the boat in a suitable light to the appropriate market.

How the broker helps buy a boat

When purchasing, a broker identifies suitable vessels, arranges inspections and sea trials, and assists with negotiation. This support aims to clarify details and protect interests throughout the buying process, including liaising with sellers and service providers.

How a valuation is carried out

Valuation considers comparable sales, the boat’s condition, equipment, and current market trends. Brokers may also assess specific features and maintenance history. The process is adapted to the vessel’s type and age to offer a reasonable market estimate.

Commission in general terms

Commission rates vary and are typically agreed before engagement. Charges generally cover services such as marketing, negotiating, and preparing sale documents. The exact percentage depends on the vessel and agreed terms between seller and broker.

Organising viewings

Brokers coordinate appointments with potential buyers, handling arrangements for on-site or marina visits. This helps manage access and timing, making sure the boat is presented appropriately and making the viewing process efficient for both parties.

Sea trials

Sea trials can be arranged through the broker to assess the vessel’s performance and condition under operational conditions. Participation and specific requirements vary depending on the boat and parties involved, often supervised by an experienced skipper or surveyor.

Independent surveys

Surveys by qualified professionals are recommended to assess structural and mechanical condition. Brokers can advise on suitable surveyors and facilitate scheduling. Results influence negotiations and final decisions, depending on findings and scope.

Documentation for sale or purchase

Required documentation varies by vessel, flag, and jurisdiction. Brokers help gather ownership papers, registration, compliance certificates, and contracts. Preparation and checking of these documents are essential parts of completing a sale or purchase correctly.

Working with clients who are not local or are abroad
