Worldwide Catamarans tell you how it is! (The short version)
Insult somebody’s Mother they will get upset, you insult their boat you are asking for a fat lip!
We just want to help you sell the boat, this is team work so cooperate with your broker, find the ships papers now, not the day a buyer comes along. We can do something about it if we have time on our side obtaining duplicates if necessary. The biggest reason for a sale falling through is missing paperwork, a small scrap of paper saying sold as seen, tried and tested, one boat is not good enough these days, I am afraid.
Firstly de-clutter, any buyer will not be as impressed as you with your collection of 27 impellers or spares that you have gathered over the years, or bits of rope and string that one day may come in useful, or the 5 spare props 3 spare anchors! Be ruthless!!!
Clean it or pay someone to do it properly and I don’t mean water it, I mean clean it inside and out and woman clean not man clean, you know exactly what I mean!
Use some elbow greece and put some polish on it even an old boat will look much better clean.
Clean the engine compartments, the engine and the bilges
Those bits that you meant to fix, do it now fix them. First impressions count and that bit of rubbing strake hanging off, will not help the sale.
We have spent a lot of money in advertising, time and effort to get those clients to see your boat and you may only get one shot at this, so get it right first time. Someone will be spending money on flights or travel to see your pride and joy and they are not professional boat looker atters! If somebody commits themselves to viewing they have put themselves out, they are serious customers.
If you can get some good high resolution pictures to your broker it will help sell the boat. There are never enough pictures. Take them of the engines, the heads, the saloons and every cabin. The hulls, in the water out of the water, the electronics the tender, the outboard everything.
Make an inventory list of everything to be sold with the yacht down to the last deck brush. If it is on the inventory it is included in the sale.
Location, Location, Location. If you find a cheap resting place for your boat that is tucked away in a group of islands difficult to get to with a three day wait stranded in an obscure airport waiting for a connecting flight, chances are that your boat however good it is will be parked there for a long time. Put it somewhere that it is easy to view, close to an international airport!
It will be easier for viewings and people to get to. We had a cat for sale in the Greek Islands for two years and the owner brought it to mainland Spain between two international airports and we sold it within a week!
Use a good broker. (Preferably us) So you may feel that you can sell your boat yourself, go ahead, but once you have had an endless stream of hull kickers waiting for you to drop the price like a line of vultures on a fence and everyone of them will ask the same question first, “what is the least you will take for the boat†you get chipped so much on the price anyway, normally more than the brokers commission.
A buyer will feel more comfortable knowing that the paperwork has been done correctly by a broker and will translate from buyers to sellers language ie. Buyer: Your boat looks like a heap of junk. Translated to the seller. I think that the buyer felt that the yacht needed some minor cosmetics to present it in its best lightâ€! It will save anyone from getting emotional. Parting with your old fiend is difficult enough, without listening to derogatory comments from a buyer trying to reduce the price.
(The long version will be posted on our site soon)
