The process

How Buying or Selling a Yacht Works

Four stages, the same every time, so you always know what happens next.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    Tell us how you actually intend to use the boat. Day trips, the Bahamas, fishing, living aboard. That conversation rules out more yachts than any filter, and it is where ten years of running them for a living earns its keep.

    “He took the time to teach me what it really means to own and care for a boat. He wasn’t just my broker. He was a captain, a mentor, and ultimately a friend.”

    Sam Hosseini, on working with John
  2. 02

    Strategy & preparation

    For sellers: honest pricing against comparable closed sales, professional photography, and syndication across YachtBroker.org, Yachtr.com, YachtWorld and Boat Trader, co-brokered with other brokerage houses. For buyers: a shortlist built around your budget and a survey plan before you commit.

    Marketing & showings

    Maximum exposure, then filtering. We field the inquiries, qualify who is serious, and arrange showings and sea trials so your time goes to real buyers rather than people kicking tires.

    Closing & aftercare

    Survey, sea trial, escrow, title and documentation. Managed rather than handed to you. And we stay reachable afterwards: most of our reviews mention what happened after the sale closed.

    ★★★★★
    Help beyond the usual. John helped me sell my Canadian boat, import it into the US and handled the paperwork. Very special help. We received a fair price considering market conditions. We recommend using John as he does not give up and one by one overcomes the hurdles to sell your boat. He was on call with buyer coaching him how to operate the boat and electronics. John has many acquaintances who he can in for help if needed.

    John We want to thank you for all your support throughout this process When we first bought the WorldCat boat through you, we didn’t know you, and the experience was very positive. Now, after you sold our Tiara, you came through with flying colors. You were always available to take our calls, gave us honest advice, recomended good mechanics and never made us feel pressured. Thank you again for your professionalism and support. You are a gentleman and a scholar!

    I have worked with John on two boat purchases now. He worked with me for months to find me the right boat and was invaluable through the sales and export process. Could not recommend more highly.

    My wife and I are so very pleased with our recent purchase of this 2025 r33 Cobalt, from John at Aspire Yachts. From the start and throughout the entire process, John has been wonderful. He is extremely knowledgeable very attentive and a super nice! We couldn't have ask for a better person to go through this process. In addition to this, he also sold our prior boat, a 2014 Scarab Offshore, which he didn't have to. 5 stars !

  • The yacht Chris Ieva bought or sold with Aspire
    ★★★★★
    I cannot recommend Marcus Armenta and the team at Aspire Yacht Sales highly enough. When my father experienced a severe health crisis in the middle of trying to sell his boat, Marcus completely stepped up and took the weight off our family’s shoulders. From start to finish, Marcus went far above and beyond all expectations. He didn't just market and sell the vessel with incredible diligence; he walked us through every single step of the process with patience, clarity, and genuine empathy. Knowing that Marcus was handling every detail with the utmost professionalism gave our family immense peace of mind when we needed it most. If you are looking for a broker who is not only exceptionally skilled at what they do but also operates with a high level of integrity and compassion, look no further than Marcus. Thank you for everything!
