Frequently asked questions

Why use a broker rather than selling or buying privately?

A broker facilitates access to a wider market and handles negotiations, documentation and legal matters. This reduces risks and can save time compared to private transactions, which often lack support on pricing and regulation.

How the broker helps sell a boat

A broker advises on pricing based on market conditions, prepares detailed listings, and co-ordinates enquiries. They manage viewings and negotiations, aiming to attract suitable buyers efficiently.

How the broker helps buy a boat

By identifying options matching specific requirements, a broker provides technical insights and organises viewings. They support through offers, inspections and contract stages to assist purchase decisions.

How a valuation is carried out

Valuation involves assessing the boat’s condition, age, equipment, and recent market sales. Brokers consider factors such as maintenance records and local demand to estimate a competitive price.

Commission in general terms

Commission typically varies according to the sale price and services provided. It is agreed beforehand and reflects the work involved, including marketing, negotiations and administrative support.

Organising viewings

Sea trials

Sea trials allow assessment of performance and handling. A broker may arrange or accompany these trials, depending on the boat type and the preferences of buyer and seller.

Independent surveys

Surveys are recommended to verify a boat’s condition. Arrangements depend on requirements and the boat’s flag or jurisdiction, with surveys conducted by qualified professionals outside the broker’s direct involvement.
