Couple meeting with a broker

Leave your charter vacation in experienced hands

With an extensive knowledge of the industry and first-hand experience of luxury charter yachts throughout the world, a 'yacht charter broker' is your key to a successful and unforgettable cruising vacation.

A yacht charter broker researches charter yachts, crews and the market on a daily basis and can offer you advice about every component of your charter, from the most suitable yacht to the best destinations and itineraries. They also attend seminars about marine law, contracts and destinations so are fully informed about the entire process including contracts, insurance policies and international legal considerations, all of which even the most seasoned charterer will struggle with on their own.

Retail charter brokers work directly with the yacht fleet managers and, similar to how a travel agent works on your behalf, will hold all money and protect the client’s interests throughout the process. They will also act as a buffer should, although very rare, any problems arise.

There are four main organisations that yacht charter brokers belong to, including MYBA, CYBA International, FYBA, and AYCA, although any charter broker from anywhere in the world can book any charter yacht anywhere in the world. Many charter brokers belong to more than one organisation, but looking out for these four leading logos is an important place to start when finding the right broker for you.

For further information see our full guide to Finding a Yacht Charter Broker before reading our How to Plan and Book a Yacht Charter to take the step towards your vacation of a lifetime.

Start Planning - Speak with a Charter Expert

Our yacht charter experts will:

  • Discuss your vacation plans
  • Check availability & shortlist suitable yachts
  • Negotiate booking & prepare your itinerary

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

GREAT OUTFIT!

In short order the sales team of Sean Fenniman and Nicole Drost convinced me Allied Marine was the best choice over all other brokers.

Their attention to detail and prompt service outmatches their competition. They literally outworked other brokers and secured me as a loyal customer. What a relief to receive paperwork quickly and as promised. Would not hesitate to recommend this duo. ~Brian K.

PROFESSIONAL AND GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL!

I have purchased two boats from Sean Fenniman and Allied Marine in Stuart, FL. Both experiences were handled professionally and with great attention to detail. Making such a large purchase is stressful, however, this team understands those stresses and allows the purchaser to go through the process in their time, without any pressure or judgement. I give this group the highest recommendation. They have made my family's dream come true - twice! ~William W.

7 TRANSACTIONS (BUY AND SELL) IN THE PAST 7 YEARS ON BOATS WITH THEM!

I can't say enough about these people. I've had 7 transactions (buy and sell) in the past 7 years on boats with them. Every promise made was kept with special help like ... Sean Fenniman stayed up most of the night once working with a mechanic to address some survey issues that arose last minute to save the sale that would have fallen apart... Sean swapped a Garmin from his personal boat for my new faulty one so I could start my trip north once ... he personally cleaned a boat prior to a showing due to the vendor canceling the last minute. His Wife Tina helped me totally renovate 2 yachts, coordinating countless vendors. Tina offered to run to the registry in Florida for me when I was having an issue renewing online and followed up after to make sure I was okay. Nicole Brova Drost provided painless closings each time, chasing down issues before I even heard about them. I have too many examples to share here. They are without a doubt ... "super stars" ~William V.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND PROFESSIONALISM MADE THE DEAL COME TOGETHER EASILY!

I was in the market for a larger Sportfish and called Peter for additional information on his listing. Although the listed boat was under contract, Peter found one a little better equipped in the same price range. Sensing we should move quickly, Peter suggested we board right-away. We had only worked (together) a short while but Peter's understanding of the build, attention to detail and professionalism made the deal come together easily. We worked with the seller directly and carved out a deal during the showing that made sense. ~Pam E.

FUN PROJECT

From day one, Peter provided us with a great experience. Knowledge, foresight, comrade, and professionalism all made for a fun project acquiring our larger boat. At the onset of our relationship and vessel search, Peter stated, "This is a marathon not a sprint." With his help we won the race. Peter Kurki and Allied Marine made for an enjoyable experience purchasing our new vessel. We love our new boat. ~ Fred - Atlanta, Georgia

VISITED VESSELS BEFORE ENDORSING

Living in North Carolina we did not have direct access to the inventory of listings found in South Florida. Peter maintained a vigil on vessels he thought we would like in the South Florida market, visiting them for us before endorsing. Peter's knowledge and understanding of manufacturers, systems and performance made for a comfortable purchase. After a life-changing event, Peter then subsequently represented our vessel for sale and found us the buyer that was "meant to be." We had a pleasurable experience with Peter Kurki and Allied Marine, we would recommend to anyone who is in the market for a new or pre-owned vessel. ~ Lynn and Susan, Wilmington, North Carolina

DOCKED THE BOAT AT MY HOME

My career in law enforcement with Miami/Dade Marine Patrol provided me with many years of enjoyment on the water. When it was time to purchase my personal vessel I had the great pleasure of meeting Peter through social connections. We subsequently had a great time finding the vessel that suits me best. We saw a bunch of listings and worked with a strategy and plan to secure what was best. Peter returned all my calls, was always present and accounted for through the survey and closing. Peter then helped me personally to bring the boat home, docking her for the initial time. From beginning discussions of ownership to securing the lines on my home dock, Peter Kurki was an asset. Knowledgeable on boats and procedures and yachting culture, I felt comfortable with all his work. Peter is awesome, I'm confident people don't know how much heart he puts into making his clients happy! ~ Kevin D. - Stuart, Florida

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

I was in the market for a larger Sportfish and called Peter for additional information on his listing. Although the listed boat was under contract, Peter found one a little better equipped in the same price range. Sensing we should move quickly, Peter suggested we board right away. We had only worked a short while, but Peter's understanding of the build, attention to detail and professionalism made the deal come together easily. We worked with the seller directly and carved out a deal during the showing that made sense. Peter's quick response to questions and fundamental items kept me on the bite. Focus-driven purpose helps a buyer when she knows what she wants. I now have the boat I've dreamed of and a broker who delivers on his promise. ~ Pam - Wilmington, North Carolina

What is a Yacht Broker?

yacht broker

A yacht broker is someone who helps you buy or sell your boat , not only sourcing possible yachts or buyers, but also negotiating prices, marketing yachts for sale, drawing up legal documents, and giving you expert industry advice. On occasion, a yacht broker will represent both the buyer and the seller in a transaction, negotiating to deliver a fair deal to both parties.

A trustworthy, knowledgeable yacht broker makes the process of buying or selling a yacht an enjoyable, worry-free process, where you can be sure you’re getting the right price. With so many yacht brokers out there, it’s extremely important that you choose a broker who offers experience and integrity, as well as a great record in buying and selling yachts. It’s also important to find a yacht brokerage that pools the talent and resources of all the brokers in the team, rather than relying on the less effective ‘one yacht broker per client’ method common in the majority of yacht brokerages.

Worth Avenue Yachts has a team of experienced brokers with an exceptional sales record, a superb marketing team, and an extensive global database of VIP clients. Having sold over 1.2 billion dollars of yachts since launch in 2011, Worth Avenue Yachts sells yachts over 50% faster than the industry average, sold almost 10% of all yachts over 100′ in 2016, and is a market leader in the sale of Westport yachts for sale .

What sets Worth Avenue Yachts apart is their revolutionary approach to the brokerage model. Realizing that assigning only one broker per client meant that the client was missing out on the expertise and client networks of all the other brokers in the team, Worth Avenue Yachts broke the mold by creating a brokerage model where all brokers work together to deliver outstanding service and speed of sale to each and every client. Where brokers working independently for commission might jealously guard their client networks and leads, Worth Avenue Yachts deliver exceptional service through collaboration, and their clients benefit from over 100 years of combined broker experience. It’s a model that has seen this relatively young company surge to the forefront of the yacht brokerage industry in record speed.

What Does a Yacht Broker Do For The Buyer?

They discuss your yachting needs and preferences to refine your search for the perfect yacht. Their industry expertise comes in extremely useful at this stage, as they can discuss the merits of different builds, hull types and cruising performance, as well as recommend particular designers or yacht layouts that you might like. Or can go through all the options of new yacht construction .

The yacht broker then uses your chosen parameters to search for the perfect yacht for your needs, across their global database, client lists, and boat show experience.

The yacht broker is by your side as you view your shortlisted yachts in marinas and at boat shows – like the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show (the world’s largest in-water yacht show which Worth have a large presence at every year) – all the while offering expert guidance on the pros and cons of each vessel, as well as suggesting the right price to pay, the potential resale value and charter opportunities.

Once you have decided on your dream yacht, the broker takes care of the legal side of the sale, from price negotiations to drawing up the contract, to discussing the results of surveys and sea trials.

After the sale is finalized and you take delivery of your new superyacht, some elite brokerages offer after-sale services such as management of your vessel and charter marketing services .

What Does a Yacht Broker Do For The Seller?

A yacht broker sits down with you to discuss what price the yacht should command on the current market, while advising possible improvements to fetch a higher price. The broker will build a thorough knowledge of your yacht from its on/board facilities and cruising history to its crew, in order to thoroughly show off your yacht to prospective buyers.

Once the price is decided on and the broker is deeply familiar with all the selling points of your yacht, the marketing process will begin. Worth Avenue yachts has a superb marketing department, placing online and print advertisements as well as conducting direct marketing campaigns to an extensive list of VIP clients.

Your yacht broker will show interested buyers through the yacht, creating a sense of excitement and the yachting experience in the client. Your broker may also show your yacht at international yacht shows : an ideal opportunity to generate interest and have your yacht viewed by prospective buyers, other brokers, and interested press.

Once a buyer is found, your broker will represent your interests in the sale, from drawing up contracts and negotiating counter-offers, to discussing survey results and conducting sea trials with the buyer.

Your yacht broker is there to offer expert advice and make the buying and selling process stress-free and easy to understand. From decoding legal jargon to ensuring you get the best deal possible, a reputable yacht broker is an essential partner on your yacht buying or selling journey.

How to Communicate Effectively When Selling and at Other Times
