How to Sell Your Luxury Yacht

By David A. Arnsbergier

There are a million different reasons why you may be considering selling your luxury yacht. Perhaps you are looking to buy something newer, a different kind of luxury yacht, or simply downsizing in an uncertain economy. Whatever the reason is that you are reading this post, you have a motive to sell your luxury yacht, and you need to know how to do it with the most return on your investment and most overall convenience in the selling process. In this discussion, we offer the best steps to take in selling your luxury yacht with the most success.

The first thing you have to know all about your yacht. One of the most important things to remember when selling a luxury yacht is to know that there are two types of different customers that you may have checking out your yacht: the yachter who likes to just sail and relax and the yachter who likes to use their yacht for some power yachting and ocean exploration. This means two things: that you must first understand which category your yacht is, and also how to sell to the yachter who prefers your type of yachting. This is the only way that you can separate the truly interested and converting customer from someone who doesn´t know what they want or much about yachting yet. By doing so, you will waste less time teaching novices about yachts and have your yacht sold quicker.

Not only is cleanliness next to god but it is also a good way to get that all important first impression. Your luxury yacht must sparkle and gleam. The time and expense of making sure your luxury yacht looks like a jewel is well worth it in the sales process. Two reasons that people don´t clean their unit before selling it is that either they think it´s clean enough or they believe that isn´t that important in selling the yacht. Both of those reasons are wrong. Like everything that is for sale, it´s the first impression you need to make to get them hooked into buying your luxury yacht. Making your yacht as clean and presentable will go a long way to optimizing your proceeds of the sale.

Don´t be afraid to spend some money to present your yacht with some nice finishing touches. Contract a service to wax and polish the deck and hull thoroughly. If they are a good service, then have them clean the interiors and woodwork. Optimize your appearance.

You must remember that once a potential customer gets inside to check out the luxury yacht, that they are trying to imagine themselves sailing this yacht. If you have all sorts of stuff that belong to you lying around everywhere, you hamper the purchaser´s imagination. Make sure everything is in its place and then let them think how they are going to use it.

5. Do a systems check. In order to best prepare your luxury yacht for a positive customer review, you should make sure that all lights and electrical systems are working. Even if the problem is minor, having one light bulb out or anything not working during a buyer inspection will probably cause the buyer to distract the quality of your vessel. This is why you should make sure all switches and electrical systems are working. A good way to review this is through making a list of all systems that fall under this category, and systematically inspecting each; so check the autopilot, radio transmitting/receiving, generator, refrigerator, and so forth. This way, you will have no surprises when an interested potential buyer comes to look at your luxury yacht.
