Frequently asked questions

Why use a broker rather than selling or buying privately?

Using a broker provides access to a wider network and market knowledge that may not be available privately. This often leads to better sale or purchase opportunities, while handling complex legal and technical requirements with greater efficiency.

How does the broker help sell a boat?

The broker manages marketing, negotiations and viewings, supporting the seller throughout. They assist in preparing the boat’s documentation and may advise on necessary maintenance or presentation to appeal to prospective buyers.

How does the broker help buy a boat?

When buying, the broker identifies suitable vessels and negotiates terms. They facilitate communication with sellers and recommend surveys or inspections, helping buyers make informed decisions in line with their requirements.

How is a valuation carried out?

A valuation considers the boat’s age, condition, equipment and current market trends. Comparable listings and recent sales are reviewed to provide a realistic price range, taking into account relevant technical and legal factors.

What about commission in general terms?

Commission is typically a percentage of the sale price, agreed in advance. It is paid upon completion and covers the broker’s services. The exact terms may vary depending on the broker and individual transaction.

Why are independent surveys important?

Surveys offer an unbiased assessment of a boat’s condition, highlighting any defects or maintenance needs. They assist both buyers and sellers in understanding the vessel’s status and can influence negotiations or insurance requirements.

Required documents depend on the boat’s flag, ownership and jurisdiction. Commonly, these include proof of ownership, registration, insurance papers, and maintenance records, prepared or reviewed by the broker to support a clear sale.
