What you need to know about selling a yacht
Your yacht is probably one of your most treasured possessions, representing a large investment. Whatever the reason you’ve decided to sell your yacht, we work hard to ensure a swift, easy, discreet sale, securing the best price possible on your behalf.
The first step to selling your yacht is to appoint a Central Agent who can promote your yacht effectively and locate potential buyers efficiently and discreetly. It is important to find a broker that not only has the experience and the industry reputation to recommend your yacht with credibility, but who will also dedicate continued time and energy to selling your yacht.
Y.CO is reputed for having only a small selection of the highest quality and most perfectly maintained yachts for sale. Each yacht benefits from the care and attention of a wide team of brokers, market analysts, administrators, creative designers and marketers, and as a result, we sell a significant percentage of our fleet each year. Yachts listed for sale with Y.CO are more than just a statistic, they have the personal attention of a team of experts, while benefitting from the experience, knowledge and reputation of a large company.
To ensure the shortest time on the market and protect against future price reductions, we use insight, market intelligence and data to identify your yacht’s market value and the kind of offers she is likely to receive. From there we recommend a carefully considered listing price.
Our in-house creative and marketing team, which includes specialists in brand strategy, graphic design, video, digital marketing, social media and copy writing, has a wealth of experience both inside the yachting industry and in the marketing departments of major global brands. Together they produce and implement a sophisticated and highly targeted marketing strategy for your yacht, advising on which events to attend, coordinating open days as well as developing engaging advertising campaigns and advertising artwork to secure a widespread media coverage. They ensure maximum visibility for your yacht online by promoting her on our own revolutionary platform for Clients, Y.CO LYNK and by sending relevant content to highly targeted groups of Clients and leads.

Our service doesn’t stop once a potential buyer is found. Supported by a team of experienced administrators and specialists, we coordinate every stage of the transaction to ensure a smooth and timely transfer of ownership.
We negotiate with the buyer representatives on your behalf to achieve the best possible price for you and agree other terms, such as closing timeframe, taking care to protect your interests.
Our in-house technical department can attend your yacht and make recommendations to ensure your yacht is seen in the best possible light ahead of any surveys and sea trials.
We collate all documentation required by the Sales and Purchase Agreement. Our administrators work closely with our technical department to complete the transfer of ownership, reviewing all documents beforehand to ensure everything is up to date.
Once the sale is agreed, we work in conjunction with the legal team to circulate a closing agenda, coordinate the closing meeting and the exchange of contracts, and arrange and monitor all payments from the buying party on your behalf.
