Your yacht.
Our cash.

Start with the make, model, year, engine hours and an honest condition report. Then choose between a private listing, a broker or a direct buyer. With Sell My Yacht, submit those details to request a preliminary cash offer.

Look at comparable boats of the same model and similar age, then account for engine hours, maintenance, equipment and damage. Advertised prices are a starting point—not proof of what boats actually sell for.

Compare your yacht with similar listings and any verified sale prices available. Price it for its current condition, not what you originally paid or spent on upgrades. An unrealistic asking price can leave it sitting while ownership costs continue.

Our estimate uses AI-assisted research of comparable listings and the details you provide. We target 40% below estimated market value, then round the offer down to the nearest $500. It is a preliminary estimate, subject to inspection and clear title—not a formal appraisal.

We consider boats and yachts with an estimated market value of at least $200,000. That threshold refers to the vessel's market value, not our cash offer. If your boat falls below it, we will politely decline without showing a price.

Have ownership documents, service records and accurate vessel details ready, and set a realistic price. A direct buyer can remove the need for public listings and repeated showings, but inspection, loan payoff and title issues can still affect timing.

Yes. You can sell privately or approach a direct buyer. You will still need to agree on the sale terms, verify payment and transfer ownership correctly. Sell My Yacht is a direct-buyer option rather than a brokerage listing service.

Typically, you need proof of ownership, a bill of sale and any required title or registration transfer documents. Documented vessels may need additional forms. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, so check with the relevant registration authority and lender before closing.

That depends on where and how the boat is registered. Some vessels are documented rather than state-titled. If a required title is missing, resolve it with the registration authority before selling. A buyer needs a valid path to clear ownership.

Usually, yes, but the lender must be involved. Request a current payoff amount and confirm how the loan and any lien will be released at closing. If the sale price is below the payoff amount, you must cover the difference.

Engine hours matter, but they do not tell the whole story. Engine type, age, service history and current condition also count. Keep maintenance records handy; a well-documented engine gives a buyer more useful information than the hour reading alone.

Fixing small, obvious issues and cleaning the boat can help presentation. Before paying for major repairs or a refit, compare the cost with the likely effect on the sale price. Disclose anything you leave unrepaired so buyers can assess it properly.

Yes, but damage and repair history can affect value and buyer interest. Disclose accidents, flooding, grounding and known defects, and share repair records or surveys. Our form accepts damage details so they can be considered in the preliminary estimate.

You do not necessarily need a new survey before listing, but a buyer, lender or insurer may request one. A recent report can help explain condition. Our preliminary offer remains subject to inspection, even if you already have a survey.

Price, condition and demand for your model may be holding up a sale. Ongoing marina and maintenance bills also matter when deciding whether to wait. Submit your details for a preliminary estimate; we will call you if we are interested. There is no obligation to accept.
