How to Choose a Yacht Brokerage to Sell Your Luxury Vessel

If you want to sell your yacht or if you are thinking about a trade-in for a new vessel then you need to make sure that you choose the right brokerage firm for the job. This is easier said than done because there are plenty of brokerage services out there and choosing the right one may seem impossible when they are all promising to give you the very best service. So how do you find a firm that fits your needs?

Communication

Good yacht brokers will have excellent communication. It doesn't matter whether you are looking into used Hatteras Yachts, sport fishing yachts or even Sea Ray yachts, this is a vital concept to consider and you'd be surprised at how much it can help you at a later date. A good way to see if your yacht brokerage service has good communication would be to contact them and see how long it takes them to reply. A good company will always reply within 24 hours and they should be able to answer any questions that you have with specialised knowledge as well.

Taking Your Time

Your yacht broker shouldn't try and push you into selling your yacht at a lower price and they shouldn't try and get your boat on the market as fast as they can either. Instead, a good brokerage service will work with you to make sure that you are comfortable with every step of the process as well as helping you to understand what is expected of you in the future. They can also help you with the negotiation and the change over as well, so you can feel completely supported every step of the way. Of course, all yacht brokerage services are different, but by following these tips, you can be sure to make the right decision.

Experience

Any companies who specialize in selling yachts should know the industry trends, be familiar with the vessels on the market, and understand how certain builders, brands, and shipyards compare to each other - and which fits your needs the best.  Experienced brokers know boats and yachts like the back of your hand.  They should be able to easily discuss boats in detail and provide insight and added value over the basic details and specs on the listing.
