5 Reasons to Work With an International Yacht Broker member:

Our yacht brokers are professional members of the International Yacht Brokers Association and subscribe to its strict code of ethics. This is difference for both boat buyers and sellers:

Ethical treatment. Every one of our brokers must adhere to a strict code of ethics, which is based on professionalism. As a client, you can expect honest and ethical treatment in all aspects of buying and selling. Our focus is on you, the client.

An expert guide. Purchasing a boat usually requires a great deal of confusing paperwork. A knowledgeable expert will assist you in preparing the best deal and avoid delays or expensive mistakes. Also, working with a professional who can speak the language of the marine world allows the process to go more smoothly.

Objective information and opinions. Our yacht brokers can provide information on local navigation, marine repairs and more. They also have objective information about each boat. Our members can use that knowledge to help you determine if the boat has what you need. By understanding what you want, they can search internationally for your exact needs.

Negotiation knowledge. There are many factors up for discussion in a deal. Our yacht brokers will look at every angle from your perspective, including crafting a purchase agreement that allows enough time for you to complete inspections and surveys of the boat before you are obligated to complete the purchase.

Up-to-date experience. Most people buy only a few boats in their lifetime, usually with quite a few years in between each purchase. Even if you’ve done it before, laws and regulations change. Our yacht brokers handle hundreds of transactions over the course of their career and stay up to date on the latest rules and local laws.
