Yacht sales & acquisition advisory
Buy a yacht.
Acquisition advisory for first-time and seasoned owners, on the open and off-market.
The transaction
How an acquisition runs.
We open the brief with a short questionnaire — programme, budget, flag preference, cruising profile — and audit the listed market against our private network. The result is a short list of yachts that match the principal’s actual cruising patterns, not just the search terms.
Sea trials, surveys, negotiation and registration follow under a single point of contact. The transaction is run alongside the principal’s legal and family-office teams.

Frequently asked
Practical questions.
- What does the buying process involve?
- Brief, listing search, viewings, survey, negotiation, contract, closing. Each stage has its own lead time; the full cycle typically runs 4 to 12 months. The brokerage manages the operational sequence end-to-end.
- How is the brokerage compensated?
- Standard market practice is a 5–10% commission paid by the seller. We work as the buyer-side broker (or jointly with the seller-side broker) and structure the engagement to align with the buyer’s interest.
- What does a pre-purchase survey involve?
- A full survey covers hull, machinery, electrical, systems, and a sea-trial run. The report is the basis for the post-survey negotiation on works and price. We coordinate the survey through specialist surveyors in the yacht’s home port.
