Yacht Sales & Purchase
After a self-education in yacht design and working in superyacht interior engineering, superyacht 3D scanning surveying, yacht brokerage & compliance I decided to start my own business.
As a liveboard boat owner my approach to yacht sales & purchase is like I am buying or selling my own yacht, where I advocate for you as a trusted advisor.
Where I bring buyers and sellers together and keep the quality control of the deal smooth, consistent and efficient where everybody walks away happy.
Where my focus on environmental friendly sustainable yachting is key.
Because we as guest on the sea, need to take good care of Mother Nature.

How to Buy a Yacht: A Step-by-Step Guide
1. Define Your Needs & Budget: We start with a conversation to understand your vision, intended use, and budget. This allows me to target the perfect yachts for you.
2. Search & Select: I provide curated selections from the market, including off-market opportunities. I arrange private viewings and conduct thorough preliminary inspections on your behalf.
3. Make an Offer & Negotiate: Once I found the right yacht, I draft and present a formal Offer. I leverage my expertise to negotiate the best possible price and terms on your behalf.
4. Execute the Contract: Upon agreement, I formalize the deal with a Purchase & Sale Agreement (PSA), which outlines all conditions, including survey and sea trial.
5. Deposit into Escrow: Your 10% good-faith deposit is wired to a neutral, professional maritime escrow company. This protects your funds until all conditions are met.
6. Survey, Sea Trial & Inspection: I coordinate a comprehensive professional survey, sea trial, and engine inspection. This is your chance to verify the yacht’s condition. I help negotiate any necessary repairs or adjustments based on the findings.
7. Close the Deal: Once all conditions are satisfied, I will finalize the paperwork, ensure the balance of funds is transferred via escrow, and coordinate the exchange of title for keys.
8. Take Ownership: Congratulations! I facilitate the logistics of your new yacht, including documentation, registration, insurance, and yacht management & crew placement if needed.
