Questions We Get Asked

Our standard listing commission is 10 percent of the sale price, with a $5,000 minimum, and it includes professional photos and video and full marketing.

The 10 percent is what opens your boat to the entire brokerage community. Many large brokerages will not show or sell a boat listed for less, so a cheaper listing quietly shrinks your pool of buyers. The minimum exists because the work of selling a boat does not scale down with the price. Photography, marketing, showings, sea trials, survey coordination and closing paperwork take the same effort on a smaller boat, and often more.

Yes, on every boat we list, always. Your listing goes out on YachtWorld, Boat Trader, Boats.com, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist and hynmarine.com, and we market it directly to buyers rather than waiting for one to find it.

Ask us for a free market valuation. We build it from real sold comparables and the boats you are competing against right now, and we show you how long each price is likely to take to sell. It is free and unbiased, and you can use it with any broker, including the one you have now.

Mostly it comes down to price relative to the market. A well priced boat with good photos and video can draw a written offer in weeks. An overpriced one can sit for months. Our valuation estimates days on market at each price point, so you choose your price knowing what it is likely to cost you in time.

Hull and deck condition, engine hours and service records, the electrical and plumbing systems, and how the boat was stored and used. On most used boats we recommend a professional marine survey and a sea trial, and we coordinate and attend both. Our buying guide goes deeper.

Yes. We value trade ins at wholesale, which is what a dealer can actually pay, and we tell you that number up front so there are no surprises.
