What is a Yacht Broker?

A yacht broker is someone who helps you buy or sell your boat , not only sourcing possible yachts or buyers, but also negotiating prices, marketing yachts for sale, drawing up legal documents, and giving you expert industry advice. On occasion, a yacht broker will represent both the buyer and the seller in a transaction, negotiating to deliver a fair deal to both parties.

A trustworthy, knowledgeable yacht broker makes the process of buying or selling a yacht an enjoyable, worry-free process, where you can be sure you’re getting the right price. With so many yacht brokers out there, it’s extremely important that you choose a broker who offers experience and integrity, as well as a great record in buying and selling yachts. It’s also important to find a yacht brokerage that pools the talent and resources of all the brokers in the team, rather than relying on the less effective ‘one yacht broker per client’ method common in the majority of yacht brokerages.

Worth Avenue Yachts has a team of experienced brokers with an exceptional sales record, a superb marketing team, and an extensive global database of VIP clients. Having sold over 1.2 billion dollars of yachts since launch in 2011, Worth Avenue Yachts sells yachts over 50% faster than the industry average, sold almost 10% of all yachts over 100′ in 2016, and is a market leader in the sale of Westport yachts for sale .

What sets Worth Avenue Yachts apart is their revolutionary approach to the brokerage model. Realizing that assigning only one broker per client meant that the client was missing out on the expertise and client networks of all the other brokers in the team, Worth Avenue Yachts broke the mold by creating a brokerage model where all brokers work together to deliver outstanding service and speed of sale to each and every client. Where brokers working independently for commission might jealously guard their client networks and leads, Worth Avenue Yachts deliver exceptional service through collaboration, and their clients benefit from over 100 years of combined broker experience. It’s a model that has seen this relatively young company surge to the forefront of the yacht brokerage industry in record speed.

What Does a Yacht Broker Do For The Buyer?

They discuss your yachting needs and preferences to refine your search for the perfect yacht. Their industry expertise comes in extremely useful at this stage, as they can discuss the merits of different builds, hull types and cruising performance, as well as recommend particular designers or yacht layouts that you might like. Or can go through all the options of new yacht construction .

The yacht broker then uses your chosen parameters to search for the perfect yacht for your needs, across their global database, client lists, and boat show experience.

The yacht broker is by your side as you view your shortlisted yachts in marinas and at boat shows – like the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show (the world’s largest in-water yacht show which Worth have a large presence at every year) – all the while offering expert guidance on the pros and cons of each vessel, as well as suggesting the right price to pay, the potential resale value and charter opportunities.

Once you have decided on your dream yacht, the broker takes care of the legal side of the sale, from price negotiations to drawing up the contract, to discussing the results of surveys and sea trials.

After the sale is finalized and you take delivery of your new superyacht, some elite brokerages offer after-sale services such as management of your vessel and charter marketing services .

What Does a Yacht Broker Do For The Seller?

A yacht broker sits down with you to discuss what price the yacht should command on the current market, while advising possible improvements to fetch a higher price. The broker will build a thorough knowledge of your yacht from its on/board facilities and cruising history to its crew, in order to thoroughly show off your yacht to prospective buyers.

Once the price is decided on and the broker is deeply familiar with all the selling points of your yacht, the marketing process will begin. Worth Avenue yachts has a superb marketing department, placing online and print advertisements as well as conducting direct marketing campaigns to an extensive list of VIP clients.

Your yacht broker will show interested buyers through the yacht, creating a sense of excitement and the yachting experience in the client. Your broker may also show your yacht at international yacht shows : an ideal opportunity to generate interest and have your yacht viewed by prospective buyers, other brokers, and interested press.

Once a buyer is found, your broker will represent your interests in the sale, from drawing up contracts and negotiating counter-offers, to discussing survey results and conducting sea trials with the buyer.

Your yacht broker is there to offer expert advice and make the buying and selling process stress-free and easy to understand. From decoding legal jargon to ensuring you get the best deal possible, a reputable yacht broker is an essential partner on your yacht buying or selling journey.

Testimonials

After several months of looking and two failed surveys, I have just completed the purchase of my first boat, a Jeanneau Merry Fisher 795. As a newcomer to boating I have to admit my first impression of boat brokers was pretty poor (compared to other industries I deal with) - descriptions were definitely on the optimistic side, boats were untidy, dirty and generally poorly presented. No excuses, just very poor sales and I would be careful who to list my boat with in the future. Then I came across Ancasta (Leo Walters) who shone bright like a beacon. The description of the boat was accurate, minor faults highlighted and extra pictures provided on request. Communications with Ancasta have been excellent, the boat was very well presented for inspection and after sales Ancasta remained interested to ensure my experience was positive. I wouldn't hesitate going to Ancasta for another purchase and if you are thinking of selling a boat, consider using Ancasta, you will get better service and value for money than many other brokers out there. And as a buying customer I would feel confident buying through them so you would be more likely to sell to me!

Bonjour à tous Un carton plein (mais pas rouge) pour le courtier d'Ancasta Benoit SIZUN. Professionnel , présent quand il le faut, de bon conseil, à l'écoute, un suivi parfait...le top!Hello everyone A solid card (but not red) for Ancasta broker Benoit SIZUN. Professional, present when needed, good advice, attentive, perfect follow-up...the best!

The Ancaster team at Dartmouth have gone above and beyond in assisting with a somewhat less than straight forward international sale and they have managed to keep their professionalism and attention to detail at the forefront throughout. A BigThank you to you guys

I was amazed at the outstanding level of support and effectiveness Geraint and the team at Port Solent have provided through the sale of our yacht.  They achieved a very fair price in a short period of time – a far better outcome than my previous yacht sale experiences.  I would gladly recommend using Ancasta for yacht sales to my friends and family. Best

Excellent work completed at a competitive price. Staff went the extra mile arranging sail laundering in a edition to the servicing and routine maintenance work

I thought that I would drop you a line to say how very pleased we were with the help and support we got from Kostas and Josiane in Ancasta Badalona. We always felt that they were working for us, not just to make a sale. In particular Kostas was able to help and advise on some of the little touches to make Ione look a little better for sale – replacing a rusty heads jubilee clip, acid cleaning around some seacocks etc. In addition he went well beyond the call of duty in taking me to his chiropractor when I wrecked my back cleaning in lockers! We are now mourning being boatless for the first time in over 40 years. Best wishes.

Ancasta were able to quickly source a replacement hatch for me and arrange for despatch the same day. The service was excellent.

The Ancasters team, particularly Nick and Jennifer, are totally professional and they greatly reduce the headache involved in selling a boat. They are very knowledgeable and kept me informed of progress all the way through the process.

I recently bought and sold yachts through Ancasta.  In terms of our purchase, Ancasta were the only broker to actively engage with us during our year long search, despite contacting most of the leading brokers.  Lewis at Ancasta Dartmouth was particularly helpful in this regard, and brought a number of yachts to our attention.The sale, through Andy at Ancasta Salcombe, was seamlessly achieved, at full asking price.  We were kept fully informed throughout and were impressed by the professionalism and energy brought to the process.

James, Many thanks to you, Tracy and Will for your very professional service. Your efforts are very much appreciated. Take care

Greetings from Gibraltar. I just want to thank you all for such an amazing job getting Starseeker to handover in Gibraltar on 2nd August. I must admit that it was a bit of an emotional day for me because not only is the boat fabulous, but everyone has been so professional and helpful along the journey since I placed the order back in July 2022.  It has been a big learning curve for me as it is the first time I have ever bought a boat, let alone a new one.  What I have realised is that everyone involved is like a big family, and that it really matters that clients are delighted on handover. I really liked the little surprises on the day too.  At the commissioning meeting with Chris & Veronica I did comment about my love of a cuppa, and I was delighted to find a pack of Yorkshire Tea with cups ready for me to brew up. Everyone has done a great job, I cannot fault anything, and I am very grateful to you all for making my retirement plan a reality. Very best wishes. Steve

Many thanks to Nick and Lewis from the team at Ancasta Dartmouth/Kingswear in handling the sale of my Fairline Phantom 38 Jampini in such a professional and friendly manner.. Nothing was too much trouble and they kept me informed and updated at all times. I would happily recommend the team to anyone buying or selling as they made the whole process as anxiety free as possible.Thanks guys and hopefully see you in the Steam Packet at some time for a well earned beer!

Myyachtsales was very professional as a whole and Chris went out of his way to find me the exact boat I wanted. The process was SUPER easy and I couldn’t be happier!
