WE HELP YOU MAXIMIZE YOUR SELLING PRICE:
    Yacht Depot also provides you with a complimentary “Seller's Tips” guide to advise you how to maximize your selling price. Yacht Depot works on a commission-only basis so if we don't sell your yacht, you owe us nothing.

WE MAKE IT SUPER-EASY AND FAST:
    Yacht Depot will take care of all the details for you to ensure a pleasurable experience. We coordinate the paperwork and keep all parties informed and stress-free. There are up to 23 forms needed at Closing (27 for foreign-flagged vessels) and each form must be executed in a specific order to trigger the next sequence of events. If you are not experienced at this, then closing the sale can be quite frustrating. Because Yacht Depot has done yacht closings over 1,300 times previously, Yacht Depot knows the fastest-best ways to do yacht closings. Yacht Depot provides professional service to all parties to the yacht sales transaction in the following areas:

YACHT DEPOT PAYS FOR ADVERTISING AND MARKETING SO YOUR YACHT GETS SOLD FASTER:
   Yacht Depot will pay for your yacht to be listed on several Internet websites. They are Yachtworld.com, BoatsOnLine.com and Boats.com and six major European sites. With the Euro so strong you must expose your yacht in their market or you are missing opportunities. Yacht Depot cooperates with all the major yacht brokerages in the world. This gives over 2,500 yacht sales offices around the world the ability to sell the yacht as if it was their own listing. You are essentially listing your yacht with 2,500 different sales offices when you list with Yacht Depot!

SELLING A YACHT YOURSELF USUALLY ISN'T VIABLE AND IS FRUSTRATING:
    Selling the yacht yourself can be a hassle. 20% of the people who make appointments to see yachts are “no-shows”. Some will act like real buyers and request free boat rides because they are inexperienced and are not sure this lifestyle is for them (which wastes your time and money). A certain-percentage of these types are actually only interested in an “education” about your boat (because they are re-decorating their similar boat but, of course, they don't tell you their actual motives) and do not care if they waste many hours or days of your time.

    Others are going to buy when they win the Lottery and we know the odds of that happening! Unqualified buyers (a.k.a. “dreamers”) will consume many hours or days of your time only to ask for “seller financing” at the last minute because they don't really have any money. We are highly-trained to weed out these types…By the way, 75% of all “seller-financing” deals fall apart within one year and the seller is left with a boat that has not been maintained and several months of non-payment before they recover the vessel. Or these dreamers will lowball you with offers at 50% of your asking price after they waste many hours of your time. We have many hundreds of hours of training to handle these time-wasters. Still, after 15 years of doing this, a few “Academy Award” winning actors will fool even us… but that means we wasted our time and not yours.

YACHT DEPOT GETS IT DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME:
   YACHT DEPOT gives you “Peace of Mind” at no extra charge. The commission remains the same whether it is split two ways or ten ways. It does not cost a penny more to have a broker represent your interests and both the selling agent and the listing agent work for you. If the yacht is not sold then you owe us nothing. Do not be tempted to use a broker who initially discounts the commission. The problem is that no “outside” brokers will work with a listing agent who will not pay them for their time, so if there's a reduced commission, the broker with the hot buyer will go elsewhere.

    Most of the time, the person you list with will not actually sell the boat. It will be an outside agency that actually brings the buyer to the table and they expect to get paid. So, when a listing agent reduces the commission this results in a much longer time to find a buyer. The additional resulting “carrying costs” (extra dockage, insurance, depreciation, risk of storm damage, maintenance) can easily exceed the commission that was cut. Don't “shoot yourself in the foot”. Get the boat sold as quickly as possible and minimize those “carrying costs” (unless you are still happily using the boat).
