Selling a yacht, Palm Beach
Sell your yacht with a broker who knows boats from the engine room up.
Every listing gets its own marketing campaign and a broker who can answer a buyer’s hardest questions about the engines, the systems and the survey. That’s what closes deals.
The right broker is the difference between a strong sale and months of silence.
Buyers at this level ask hard questions about engines, systems, survey history and maintenance. A broker who can answer them on the spot, from experience, keeps a deal moving. One who has to “get back to you” loses it.
I’ve run, maintained, refit and resold boats for more than 25 years. When a buyer’s surveyor finds something, I know what it means and what it’s worth, so a survey finding doesn’t turn into a lost sale.
What you get when you list with Sea Yachts
A campaign built for your boat
Every listing gets its own marketing campaign, not a template.
An honest valuation
A price based on what comparable boats actually sell for, so you don’t sit on the market overpriced.
Technical answers for buyers
A captain who can speak to the engines, systems and condition of your boat with authority.
Survey and sea trial handled
I’m aboard for the buyer’s sea trial and survey, and I negotiate the findings for you.
Closing managed
Contract, escrow, title and documentation, handled with the care of a legal matter.
Overseas buyers welcome
I specialize in exports, so your buyer pool isn’t limited to Florida.
How selling with me works
Valuation
We look at your boat, its condition and the market, and agree on a realistic price.
Preparation
What to fix, what to leave, and how to present her so she shows at her best.
Marketing
Your boat’s own campaign, in front of serious buyers.
Offers and negotiation
I review every offer with you and negotiate price and terms on your behalf.
Survey, sea trial and closing
I manage the buyer’s inspections and the paperwork through to closing.
Straight answers
How much is my yacht worth?
It depends on the boat’s condition, engine hours, equipment and what comparable boats have actually sold for. Request a valuation and I’ll give you an honest number.
Do you sell boats outside Florida?
Yes. I work with buyers and sellers around the world and specialize in exports.
What size of yacht do you list?
Yachts from $150,000 and up.
How long will it take to sell?
It depends on the boat, the price and the market. A realistic price and a boat that shows well are what shorten it, and I’ll be straight with you about both.

A short call costs nothing. You'll speak with me directly, and I'll reply to every inquiry within one business day.
