How it Works

Boathouse Auctions made selling our boat very easy. They generated a lot of interest in a short amount of time and were always available for any questions that came up during the process. We would highly recommend Boathouse Auctions.

Jack Mahoney and his team at Boathouse Auctions delivered as promised. They corralled brokers and really took the lead on the marketing and strategy-side of the sale leading up to the auction. I would recommend them to anyone looking to sell a yacht with some upside for sellers.

I recently used Boathouse Auctions to sell my 50′ Sport Yacht. A unique boat that had proved difficult to move. I found Jack and his people to be among the most professional and efficient people I have dealt with over my 40 year career in the boating industry. Excellent communications, advice, and execution.

My experience with Boathouse Auctions was excellent. The process went smoothly with very good communication along the way. The auction really sought to get the best price for my yacht. Such good organization and process. I highly recommend Boathouse Auctions.

My decision to bring Boathouse Auctions into the traditional yacht marketing program was a great one. In less than 5 weeks, we had over 35 prospects, multiple bidders, and a deadline that created a sense of urgency that helped us quickly close the sale of our yacht at a price we were very pleased with.

Pacific Provider was on the market for quite some time. We recently reduced the price significantly but still this generated little solid interest. Engaging Boathouse Auctions was a key strategic decision. It shifted leverage from the buyers to the seller as it created a deadline and a sense of urgency. We received multiple pre-auction offers and sold Pacific Provider prior to the auction.

As a seller, the lack of a pending event plus the extended due diligence a buyer requires creates a buyer-advantaged process. Boathouse Auctions has successfully and politely modified the approach to bring this archaic process into the 21st century. I am thrilled with the result.

As the carrying costs of larger yachts can be significant, days on market are costly. By offering Altitude Adjustment II through Boathouse Auctions, the finite timeline of the auction process serves as a motivation to prospective buyers and as an asset to owners in terms of time and cost savings.

I praise Boathouse Auctions for leading me to the successful close of the boat I’d never before considered.
