CHOOSE YOUR BROKER FIRST
The most important step one thinks of when contemplating a yacht purchase is not always the first thing that comes to mind. Choose your broker first, it costs you nothing and just may save you thousands.
Choose a broker within the brokerage community who is with an organization that is well known and well respected in the industry. One that is licensed and bonded in the major boating states such as Florida. A broker and brokerage that knows the market and is in tune with current
pricing and conditions. Someone you can talk with, who will listen to how you plan to use the yacht along with the accommodations and budget you have in mind. Most of all, choose a broker who has your best interest at heart, not their own.
