We Work Around The Clock to Sell Your Boat
Flexible Marketing Agreement
We don't believe in signing long-term contracts and we don't believe in getting paid unless we perform. We only get paid if we do our job and we sell your boat. Those aren't just words - they are core beliefs.
Advertising On Various Websites
We show all our listings on just about every major classified website and MLS system there is. This means worldwide exposure for your boat, at no cost to you.
True Representation Counts
One of our key strategies is to photograph and use 100 or more photos of your vessel. The more photos and detail, the more potential buyers will feel comfortable driving long distances to see your boat - and there will be no surprises when they get there.
Converting Online Inquiries Into Buyers
The internet is chock full of scammers and low-ballers. It's our job to separate and qualify the real buyers from the influx of inquiries. We follow a proven qualification funnel, streamlined for speed, in order to show your boat to the most qualified buyers as fast as possible.
We Are Paid On Performance
We work on a contingency basis, meaning we absorb all the marketing costs, gas money and time traveling to and from your boat, plus the time to respond to all inquiries and negotiate on your behalf. When we sell your boat, we get paid.
Professional Closing Services
Our in-office closing department performs fast and secure closings every day. These services give you peace of mind to know that title and money will be transferred safely. These services are also provided at no cost to you.

Sell Your Yacht for Maximum Value with Aspire
When you list to sell your yacht for maximum value, the difference between an average outcome and a great one comes down to pricing, marketing reach, and broker effort. Aspire Yacht Sales combines IYBA MLS access, multi-channel exposure across YachtWorld, Boats.com, and BoatTrader, featured presence at the Fort Lauderdale and Miami International Boat Shows, and a buyer network built over years of cross-border yacht transactions. Our 40 to 145 foot specialty matches the segment with the deepest buyer pool. We invest in professional photography, video, and drone footage before listing day one, and we follow up with every inquiry, every showing, and every offer until the deal closes at a price you are happy with.
How Aspire Drives Maximum Yacht Value
- Strategic pricing — We price using IYBA MLS comparable sold data, not guesswork. Pricing 3 to 7 percent above realistic market sets a strong negotiation anchor without driving away serious buyers.
- Pre-listing presentation — Professional photography, drone footage, and detailed spec sheets are completed before listing day. First-week impressions drive 40 to 60 percent of total inquiries.
- Multi-channel marketing — IYBA MLS, YachtWorld, Boats.com, BoatTrader, Aspire newsletter to qualified buyers, social channels, and boat show featured listing rotation.
- Active broker effort — Pre-qualifying all inquiries, hosting in-person showings, coordinating sea trials. Many brokers list and wait. Aspire works the listing.
- Negotiation expertise — We protect your price floor while keeping deals on track. The difference between a 92 percent offer and an 87 percent offer on a 1M USD yacht is 50,000 USD. We earn our commission in that gap.
What Maximum Value Looks Like in Numbers
- Properly priced 40-100ft yachts close within 6 to 8 percent of asking on average.
- Aspire central-agency listings sell within their initial term over 75 percent of the time.
- Photography and drone footage at no upfront cost — typically a 3,000 to 8,000 USD value absorbed by the brokerage.
- Boat show featured placement at FLIBS in October reaches 100,000+ in-person attendees.
- IYBA member-only buyer network drives 30 to 50 percent of qualified inquiries on most central-agency listings.
Frequently Asked Questions — Sell Your Yacht for Maximum Value
What makes Aspire different from other yacht brokerages?
Senior broker access from day one (no junior associates), full upfront marketing investment, IYBA MLS access, and an active follow-up workflow. Boutique brokerage with national-firm tools.
How much does the seller pay for marketing?
Nothing upfront. Aspire absorbs all photography, video, drone, listing, and showing costs. The brokerage commission at closing covers everything.
What yachts does Aspire specialize in selling?
Motor yachts, sportfish, express cruisers, and trawlers from 40 to 145 feet. We sell 200+ different builder names — from Sunseeker, Princess, and Ferretti to Viking, Hatteras, and Riviera.
How do I know what price will maximize value?
Request our free valuation. We pull IYBA MLS comparable sales, analyze current listings, and apply condition adjustments to deliver a written valuation report within 48 hours.
What happens during the central agency listing period?
You receive weekly activity reports with listing views, inquiry count, and showing feedback. We pre-qualify buyers, coordinate sea trials, negotiate offers, and manage closing logistics from offer through title transfer.
Can Aspire sell my yacht if it is currently listed elsewhere?
Yes — once your current listing agreement expires. We require a clean central agency to commit our marketing investment. Many of our most successful transactions are sellers who switched to Aspire after a slow initial listing elsewhere.
