Yacht Sales - Buyers
Luxury Yachts For Sale By Owner

The most important thing to understand about the Luxury Yachts For Sale By Owner website is that we are not yacht brokers. We allow you, the yacht buyer, to interact directly with the yacht seller once you Register. The benefits to you include:

1. You can buy a luxury yacht for a lot less money. Yacht owners post their yacht sales on our website for free. Once they sell their yacht, they pay us a small 1% fee. Because they are paying only 1% versus 10% to a regular yacht broker, the yacht owner can sell their yacht for 9% less and still net the same amount. As the yacht buyer, you are the beneficiary of this 9% savings. For example, a luxury yacht has a selling price of $3 million. The yacht broker charges $300,000, and the seller nets $2.7 million. With Luxury Yachts For Sale By Owner, the yacht owner prices his yacht at $2.73 million, pays us 1% or $27,300, and nets $2,702,700. The buyer saves $270,000. That's a lot more yacht for a lot less money.

2. You can deal directly with the yacht owner. The yacht owner knows his boat better than anyone else and can give you all the detail that the yacht broker may miss. Because you are dealing directly with the yacht owner, you will more likely be able to 'test drive' the yacht to get a real feel for the yacht.

3. By dealing directly with the yacht owner, you can ask the questions directly to the person who knows all the answers. Plus, you will get a better feel about how the yacht has been used and maintained.

Are There Disadvantages With Dealing Directly With The Yacht Owner?

At Luxury Yachts For Sale By Owner, we don't believe that there are any disadvantages in dealing directly with the yacht owner. A yacht broker might say that you would lose the security of dealing with an established broker. The answer to this is that yacht brokers don't provide any more security than you would have by dealing directly with the yacht owner. If you look closely, yacht brokers issue disclaimers about everything related to used yachts. They make it very clear that they assume no liability for the description or condition of used yachts. As a yacht buyer, you would always want to hire a marine surveyor and an engine surveyor to inspect the hull, engine, equipment and accessories. This is the real source of your security.

As for transfer of title, we provide links to legal resources for the yacht sellers, and we will even reimburse the cost of transfer of title up to $1,000, which is the normal fee for such services.
