Hawaii Yacht Sales

Some experienced boaters will choose to purchase direct from a private party. And this can work under certain circumstances where you have lower valued vessels with lower financial risk. But would you really give a stranger $50,000 or more without knowing if the title was clean? Do you know exactly what to look for or inspect prior to purchase? Do you know the actual value of the boat and is your money protected? The stakes are much higher than purchasing a used car or vehicle. Boats can often times carry higher price tags than a vehicle and any maintenance and repairs undisclosed to you as a buyer could run you into the thousands of dollars and require a professional mechanic.

Yacht brokerages have access to MLS sold boat data and other resources to help you determine the most accurate pricing for the vessel you are purchasing and will fight for a better purchase price when the listing price is too high.

Experienced yacht brokers know where and what to look for during pre-purchase inspections and can help you to determine if a vessel is fully functional. And in those cases where a second opinion is warranted for the protection of the buyer or mandated by insurance or financing, they can recommend a qualified marine surveyor.

Yacht brokerages also use an escrow account to protect your funds and will do comprehensive title searches and clearances and make sure that that there are no liens or holds on a title. As a brokerage we have seen multiple titles that had liens or incumbrances that would have prevented the buyer from being able to properly transfer title. Brokerages can also file the title transfers for you, saving you lots of time when navigating the red tape.

After the sale, we can assist and put you in touch with the right people to support you through your boating endeavors. We can put in touch with specialty mechanics and when you have any sort of general questions about your vessel, we are here to advise you. I have had clients call me while experiencing problems out on the water and over the phone we have been able to talk them through a solution to their problem whether the engine is not starting or they are having trouble working their anchor windlass.
