Frequently asked questions

Why use a broker rather than selling or buying privately?

Using a broker provides access to a wider network of qualified buyers and sellers, reducing the time spent on negotiations and paperwork. Brokers assist with pricing, marketing and legal matters, which can be complex when dealing with a yacht privately.

How does the broker help sell a boat?

Brokers advise on pricing, present the vessel professionally, manage enquiries and negotiations, and coordinate viewings. They also assist with documentation and liaise with inspectors or surveyors, helping transactions progress smoothly from enquiry to completion.

How does the broker help buy a boat?

A broker can identify suitable vessels based on specific requirements, arrange viewings and sea trials, support price negotiations, and provide guidance on legal and technical checks, improving the buying process’s efficiency and clarity.

How is a valuation carried out?

A valuation considers the boat’s condition, age, market trends and comparable sales. It may involve an inspection to assess equipment, maintenance history and overall upkeep, providing a realistic price range to guide sellers or buyers.

What about commission in general terms?

Commission rates vary depending on the broker and transaction size. It is typically a percentage of the final sale price, agreed beforehand. Specific terms depend on the type of boat, sale conditions and the services provided.

How are viewings organised?

Viewings are arranged at mutually convenient times, often at the marina or agreed location. The broker coordinates schedules, making sure potential buyers have proper access and relevant information about the vessel.

What is the role of sea trials?

Sea trials allow assessment of the boat’s performance and handling. They help verify mechanical condition and suitability, providing valuable insight before proceeding with purchase or negotiation.

Are independent surveys recommended?

Independent surveys provide an impartial evaluation of the yacht’s condition, covering structure, systems and safety. Brokers advise arranging these to support informed decision-making and identify necessary repairs.

What documentation is required for sale or purchase?

Required documents depend on the boat’s flag, ownership and jurisdiction. Common paperwork includes registration certificates, proof of ownership, VAT or tax details and recent surveys or maintenance records.

How is working with clients abroad or not local managed?
