Boat transactions usually involve large financial investments. Transactions today usually exceed $100,000, and in some instances can exceed $3,000,000.  Considering the small upside cost and the large downside risk, it would be foolish to consider a deal in yacht brokerage without the professional assistance of a qualified Yacht Broker.
 

But if you are still not convinced of the value of having a Yacht Broker to assist you, here are a few reasons to have one.
 

Buying A Boat:

Professional Yacht Brokers have resources available to them that most yacht buyers do not have. In particular, their access to sophisticated and reliable multiple listing services that can save time in narrowing the field of yachts and comps that meet a buyer's requirements. A broker's participation in the International Yacht Brokers Association provides the connections necessary to find those yachts that are not yet on the market, or that are not being actively marketed by their owners.
The Result: You, the buyer, have a qualified list of yachts to choose from and more time on your hands to look them over.
 

A Broker can assist in the selection process by helping the buyer clearly define his boating needs and by providing objective information necessary to evaluate each type of yacht. Sometimes it is necessary to have that more objective point of view.
The Result: You the buyer, have a better understanding of what you want and need and a list of pros and cons to help with that final decision.
 

Yacht Brokers can help in the negotiation phase of the project. There are myriads of negotiating factors, including but not limited to price, financing, terms, date of possession and often the inclusion or exclusion of repairs and furnishings or equipment. They will act on your behalf to negotiate the deal in your favor. They are there to prepare a purchase agreement and to manage the transaction to takes the pressure off of the buyer and seller.

Yacht Brokers can provide local information on different yacht services, such as surveyors, engine repair, dockage and  boat yard service.

An experienced and professional Yacht Broker will advise the buyer throughout the due diligence process of evaluating the chosen yacht. Recommending the extent of the survey to be used in the inspection and helping to identify the most qualified individuals to conduct the surveys are two key functions of a knowledgeable and experienced broker during this phase.
The Result: A clearly defined survey report to ensure that the buyer gets what is paid for.
 

The Broker can assist in yet another step in due diligence process, making sure there is a clear title for the yacht. Title indicates ownership and can be confusing in the status of past owners or rights of access. If the yacht is a foreign flagged yacht, set up as a corporation, or existing under any number of other special circumstances, the services of a professional yacht broker will become even more valuable. They have the legal consultants available to assist.
The Result: A smooth closing and clear sailing for the buyer.
 

A Broker will guide you effortlessly through the closing process:
The Result: A happy buyer.
