If you are buying or selling a boat, then finding a yacht broker can take a lot of the stress out of finding the right bat or getting a good price for a boat that you have loved. A yacht broker acts as an agent for the sale of a yacht or a boat and is paid an agreed commission on the sale. The commission that a yacht broker receives is generally an agreed percentage of the total sale. The yacht broker will market the boat as well as enter into negotiations with potential buyers acting as the middle man.
The advantage of a yacht broker is that they know all of the places to market your yacht or boat and have a lot of great contacts to expedite the sale of your boat.
The Summer is almost upon us and so if you are considering taking to the water then a yacht broker can have you in your very own yacht in time to get in some rays and perhaps even a spot of fishing. A yacht broker has access to yacht manufacturers as well as other yacht broker’s lists and these contacts make them invaluable when buying a boat.
Owning a yacht is a lifestyle choice and immediately will give a sense of freedom to a way of life. On a beautiful Summer’s evening you will often see tens of boats gliding through the water, with the sun setting behind them, making an idyllic backdrop. During the day, jumping onto your yacht can get you away from the crowds will not only get you fit, but also give you the chance to do some swimming in your own private pool and get in some sunbathing. There is a whole other community attached to sailing and will afford you lots of opportunities.
A yacht broker usually specialises in a certain type of boat or yacht and so you might want to go down that route, should you have more specific idea of what you want, for example a particular brand. Check that your yacht broker is a member of The Association of Brokers and Yacht Agents (ABYA) and then you can be assured that you are in good hands. In addition, they might be members of British Marine Federation, which again, stands you in good stead.
It is worth checking out your yacht broker’s credentials and any testimonials. Word of mouth is also invaluable when you are looking for a tried and tested yacht broker.
When you have found a yacht broker that you are happy with, then make sure that you are clear about what you want, as the more information that you can provide to your yacht broker will mean that their job is a lot easier and they can service your needs a lot more effectively, so think about what you want both from a sale and from a new boat.
