ADVICE ON PRICE, PREPARATION, AND TIMING
HMY has been selling yachts since 1979. We know owners want honest advice about what their yacht can bring, what needs attention before listing, and how the sale is progressing.
Your broker starts with the details: your boat’s condition, equipment, service history, location, and your plans. Those details shape the asking price and the way we present the yacht to buyers.
How we market your yacht
A buyer needs enough information to decide whether your yacht is worth a closer look. We bring the specifications, service history, recent work, and photography together so buyers can understand what makes your boat different from others for sale.
Your marketing plan may include professional photography, video, drone footage, and a virtual tour. We use HMY.com, email, digital advertising, social media, and broker relationships to put listings in front of prospective buyers. Boat shows and in-person events can provide additional opportunities when they suit the yacht and timing.
For buyers outside the United States, clear specifications and a detailed visual presentation help them evaluate a yacht before traveling. HMY’s international broker relationships and multilingual team support those conversations and help coordinate the next steps.
Discuss the proposed channels, inquiry handling, and activity updates with your broker before listing.
FROM THE FIRST CONVERSATION TO CLOSING
Discuss your plans
Tell us about your yacht, where it is kept, and when you would like to sell. If you are moving into another boat, we can discuss how the two decisions fit together.
Establish the asking price
We review comparable yachts, available sales information, and the condition and equipment of your boat. We explain the pricing recommendation so you know what supports it.
Prepare the listing
We work with you to gather records, confirm specifications, and plan the photography. Your broker can help identify repairs or presentation issues worth addressing before buyers come aboard.
Reach buyers and arrange showings
We put the marketing plan to work, respond to inquiries, and coordinate access to the yacht. Showing feedback and changes in competing inventory help guide the next conversation about your listing.
Work through the offer and closing
Your broker helps you evaluate offers and negotiate terms. Once an agreement is in place, we coordinate with the buyer and the professionals involved in the survey, sea trial, and closing.
What should you have ready?
Start with the year, make, model, location, and engine hours. Service invoices, an equipment list, and details of recent upgrades help us understand the yacht. Let your broker know about known issues and any equipment you intend to keep.
You do not need a finished sales package to contact us. We can help you identify what is missing.
