Traditionally, selling a yacht is often at the mercy of factors largely caused by market inefficiencies. Boathouse Auctions has a different approach to yacht sales which addresses limitations through improved process and technology. With a highly proactive adverting and marketing approach, prospective buyers are presented with excellent buying opportunities with which they compete with other interested parties from around the world.
Time is the enemy of the seller. We market your yacht so qualified buyers are provided access to recent surveys and other necessary documentation as they have a short window to compete for each vessel. This unique approach provides momentum which yields the highest possible net return in five weeks or less.
When it comes to selling a yacht, days on market are too often measured in years. By eliminating the drag of carrying costs and depreciation, Boathouse Auctions provides owners the opportunity to sell quickly, allowing the alternative uses of capital far sooner and on their chosen timeline.
Designed with sellers in mind, Boathouse Auctions provides an alternative. Our transparent and turnkey approach facilitates time-sensitive yacht auctions that limit risk and maximize return, putting control back in your hands while the role of the broker remains entirely intact. Brokers' responsibility.
Boathouse Auctions’ accelerated sales approach places sellers back in control of their listings. Sellers and listing brokers decide on the date they want the yacht sold as well as the associated terms.
Sellers are provided with metrics leading up to the auction date, including opening bids and offers, often giving sellers the option to sell prior to the start of the auction.

Yacht Marketing
Boathouse Auctions collaborates with listing brokers to establish a unique strategy for each individual yacht. Our marketing team actively promotes each auction to prequalified buyers across the country, or the globe when appropriate. Our media relations extend throughout the yachting industry, including major yachting publications, newsletters, and social media.

Yacht Brokers
Brokers’ responsibilities remain unchanged. Literally. Brokers continue to address questions, perform showings, attend sea trials, and manage the closing and financial transactions. Our approach is turnkey and quick, allowing brokers to provide prospective bidders documentation such as surveys prior to the auction. By doing so, this considerably reduces friction in the sales process by having all buyers determine a vessel’s worth based equal and identical information.
