Motor yachts are the core of South Florida's brokerage market, from day cruisers under 40 feet to long-range yachts well past 80. Buyers choose them for flexible layouts, straightforward handling, and the wide choice of styles — flybridge, express, and sedan among them.
As a CPYB-certified broker, Dan represents motor-yacht buyers with comps-backed pricing analysis, independent haul-out, survey, and sea-trial coordination, and escrow protection through closing.
What to consider when buying a motor yacht
Engine hours and service records are critical; a sea trial should include full-throttle runs and systems checks.
Fuel consumption scales with hull form, displacement, and power; confirm real-world figures rather than brochure numbers.
Interior condition often drives value as much as age — inspect for UV damage, moisture, and delamination.
Insurance terms vary with engine type, experience, and cruising range; confirm underwriting early.
Documentation and lien status should be verified before contract — escrow protects both sides at closing.
