When crafting your boat listing, it's crucial to be detailed and precise. Use the boat builder’s
specifications to ensure accuracy. Key details to include are:
Exact Dimensions: Length, beam, draft, and weight.
On-Board Equipment: List all electronics, navigation systems, and safety equipment.
Engines: Include the number of engines, engine hours, horsepower, and maintenance history. Tank
Capacities: Specify fuel, water, and holding tank capacities.
Accessories and Outfittings: Highlight any extras like fishing gear, water sports equipment, or
upgraded seating.
Brand Names: Mention reputable brands for any equipment or accessories.
High-quality photos and videos are essential. Capture your boat from all angles—bow to stern
—both in and out of the water. A video showcasing the boat running can significantly boost buyer
interest. The more detailed and visually appealing your listing, the more likely you are to
attract serious buyers.
Yacht brokers are professionals who specialize in the sale or purchase of yachts and boats, much
like real estate agents but for watercraft. There are two types of brokers: selling brokers, who
represent the buyer, and listing brokers, who represent the seller and the vessel. Typically,
the seller pays the broker's commission, not the buyer. However, in every transaction, brokers
have a responsibility to both parties to ensure a fair and transparent process.
A yacht broker can guide you through complex legal requirements, negotiate on your behalf, and
assist in finding the right loan, insurance provider, and setting up escrow. If you're new to
buying or selling a boat, working with a certified yacht broker can be a smart move, providing
expertise and peace of mind throughout the process.
Pricing your boat correctly is crucial to ensuring a successful sale. Set the price too high,
and you risk deterring potential buyers from even inquiring. Set it too low, and you might raise
red flags, making buyers suspicious or wary.
To accurately price your boat, start by
researching reliable boat valuation sources, similar to blue-book pricing for cars. These are
the same resources that banks, government agencies, and insurance companies use to determine the
value of vessels. By understanding how your boat compares to similar listings and factoring in
its condition, age, and included equipment, you can set a competitive and attractive price that
will draw serious buyers. Proper pricing is the key to a smooth and profitable sale.
Selling your boat to a dealer typically means you’ll receive less money compared to a private sale. The difference can often amount to thousands of dollars. Dealers need to resell your boat at a profit, which is why their offers tend to be lower. For this reason, it’s generally advisable to try selling your boat privately first, where you have the potential to earn more. Only consider selling to a dealer if you need a quick, hassle-free transaction or if private sales efforts have been unsuccessful.
On average, about 80% of boats listed for sale by owner on Sea Magazine sell within 13 weeks*—though several factors can influence how quickly your boat sells. The quality of your listing plays a significant role; including high-quality photos, videos, and maintenance records can make your boat more attractive to buyers. Pricing is often the biggest factor—listing your boat at or below market value can significantly reduce the time it takes to sell.
