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 thirty years of running them 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 enquiries, qualify who is serious, and arrange showings and sea trials so your time goes to real buyers rather than people kicking tyres.
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
★★★★★I can’t recommend John Booysen with Aspire Yacht Sales in Fort Lauderdale highly enough. What started as a search for the right boat turned into an incredible experience thanks to him. Not only did he do a fantastic job helping me find the perfect vessel, but he went far beyond what you’d expect from a broker. John truly became a part of my learning curve. He took the time to teach me what it really means to own and care for a boat—everything from the fundamentals to the finer details that only an experienced captain would know. His patience, knowledge, and genuine passion made all the difference. He wasn’t just my broker—he was a captain, a mentor, and ultimately a friend. If you’re looking for someone who actually cares about your success and confidence on the water, John and Aspire Yacht Sales are the people you want on your side. He is the best you can find!!
