Why Use a Professional Yacht Broker?

Boat transactions customarily represent large financial investments. It’s not unusual for transactions to exceed $100,000, and in some instances they may exceed $3,000,000. If you had a $100,000 income tax problem or a $100,000 legal question, would you attempt to handle it without experienced professional advice?

Considering the small upside cost and the large downside risk, it would be folly to consider a transaction in yacht brokerage without the professional assistance of a qualified Yacht Broker. Jeff Pierce at Windy City Yachts is dedicated to providing skilled professional advice to the Chicago Boating Community.

Whether you are buying or selling, WCYB’s Buyers Checklist » provides valuable guidance to a successful outcome.

The Chicago Yacht Broker

Windy City Yacht Brokerage LLC is owned and operated by Jeff Pierce, CPYB(see below for explanation) since 2004. Not only is Jeff a Yacht Broker, he is also a boater himself, having totally restored a 1986 52' Jefferson. Windy City Yachts uses standard Yacht Broker Association of America contracts, used by hundreds of other brokers so you know everything is being conducted in an ethical manner. Whether you are buying or selling a boat, Jeff makes certain that it is an easy and satisfying experience.

* What does the CPYB (Certified Professional Yacht Broker) designation mean?

• A yacht broker who has passed a rigorous 3 hour exam.
• A yacht broker who follows the Code of Ethics from the National Yacht Brokers Certification Program.
• A yacht broker who has completed the necessary continuing education requirements to maintain membership.

There are only 5 CPYB yacht brokers on Lake Michigan from Milwaukee to Saugatuck.

Your Yacht For A Fraction Of The Cost

Smart ownership alternatives ℠, from $5,950 – all season, all inclusive.

The acclaimed Pinnacle Yachts lease-share program allows Members personal use of a magnificent Sea Ray Powerboat or Jeanneau Sailboat from Chicago’s finest marinas without the cost and obligation of ownership. The cost saving benefits of Pinnacle’s yacht share program are undeniable, when compared to expenses associated with purchasing or renting a boat.

No Mortgage – No Down Payment – No Maintenance Costs

Pinnacle Members experience the best parts of yacht ownership, but by-pass the hassles of ownership. They make no down payment, have no mortgage, and have no ongoing maintenance expenses.

Single-Season Lease That Covers Every Expense

Members make personal use of a stylish, well-equipped Sea Ray Powerboat or Jeanneau Sailboat in the 37 to 46 foot range across the entire season for an all-inclusive, single-season lease fee. Operating expenses associated with yacht ownership are eliminated, so Members can enjoy their boat worry free.

Chicago’s Finest Marinas

Pinnacle has thirty-five yachts hailing from five of the most coveted marinas across Chicago’s magnificent lakefront, including Belmont, DuSable, Monroe, Burnham, and 31st Street harbors.

Advanced Scheduling Technology for Planned & Spontaneous Use

Pinnacle’s proprietary technology allows Members to reserve time in advance and enjoy spontaneous use, while maintaining absolute fairness to all Members.

Day, Weekend & Week-Long Cruising

Rather than a one day boat rental, Pinnacle offers private, day-to-day use of a yacht. Pinnacle Members may head-out for a few hours, get away for several days, or cruise for a full week, just as if they owned the yacht.

Sail & Power Lessons by USCG Licensed Masters

Pinnacle provides sailing lessons and powerboat lessons for Members new to yachting, or who wish to enhance their skills prior to taking the helm on their own. Unlike boat rentals, Pinnacle Members go through extensive training so they can drive the boat themselves. Hiring a charter captain is not required unless requested.

Professional Captain Services

Pinnacle connects Members with USCG Licensed Captains as an option to pilot the yacht for those who prefer to focus on family, friends, and business associates.

We Invite You to Join Us!

Since our inception in 1998, our yachts have been entirely sold-out each and every season. Because of the popularity of the program, it is best to act well in advance to secure your share.

“I have been in a sailing club and a power boat club, and have used charter boat rental companies in Chicago numerous times. Pinnacle Yachts is radically different. As a member you are one of only a few people who lease the boat and sail it privately all season. The boats are built by Sea Ray and Jeanneau, two luxury brands, are in perfect condition and loaded to the hilt. But most impressive is Pinnacle’s scheduling software which avoids the “not-available” problem that boat clubs have because of their first-come nature.”
