The process
How Buying or Selling a Yacht Works
Four stages, the same every time, so you always know what happens next.
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.”
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.
03
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.
04
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.
In their words
Clients Who Come Back
Sold★★★★★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!

Sold★★★★★Thank you to John Booysen and the team at Aspire Yacht Sales for going way and above in every aspect of my Tiara purchase. From the first moment that I spoke to John …. And the way thru the closing (and beyond), John was absolutely amazing. I would recommend him and his team to anyway that is looking to buy a boat/yacht. I feel like John jumped through hoops for me….. we took delivery yesterday…. And his follow through has been fantastic. John made this transaction a very pleasant one for both myself and the seller. THANK YOU JOHN!
