Recognizing the limitations of the traditional yacht resale model, we built a platform that provides an alternative approach. Online auctions have become commonplace for high-end real-estate, fine-art, and luxury cars, so why not yachts? That’s why our team created Boathouse Auctions – the first and only fully-integrated online boat auction platform designed explicitly to remove friction in the sales process for yacht buyers and sellers.
For Buyers
Boathouse Auctions provides attractive opportunities for buyers able to act with urgency. By streamlining the traditional sales approach, buyers name their price at the click of a button from our curated inventory of motor yachts and sailboats from motivated sellers around the world.

For Sellers
When selling a luxury yacht, not only do sellers get frustrated and fatigued, but time is real money. Days on market are costly. Too often in the traditional model, ‘days’ turn into years which in turn begins the slippery slope of price reductions.
Boathouse Auctions was built as a solution to the costly problem of time. We work with sellers to eliminate costs by bringing buyers together, at the same time, to accomplish in weeks what otherwise can simply take too many months or years. By aggregating competition, our approach creates a sense of urgency and an accelerated sale of your yacht.
