A yacht brokerage firm operates a multi-broker business — listings + buyer mandates + co-brokerage + new-build + after-sale, all under one brand, with firm-wide compliance, governance, and commission infrastructure.

A firm is not just brokers

A yacht brokerage firm is a brand, a compliance perimeter, a commission ledger, and a knowledge base — all of which has to outlive any individual broker.

  • Listings owned by the firm, not the broker
  • Buyer mandates allocated firm-wide
  • Compliance enforced at firm level
  • Knowledge captured across broker changes

Multi-broker governance

A firm with 5-50 brokers needs governance without slowing down deals. Pre-approved templates, audited workflows, opt-out for edge cases.

  • Listing standards (asset quality, pricing approvals)
  • AML / sanctions thresholds and escalation
  • Commission splits per role and per deal
  • Co-brokerage conventions

Firm-level visibility

The firm director needs firm-wide pipeline visibility — not the sum of individual broker spreadsheets.

  • Active mandates across brokers
  • Listings under firm representation
  • Conversion rates per broker
  • Compliance exception register

What separates the top brokerage firms

Top firms share a pattern: one shared workspace holds the firm's vessels, contacts, pipeline and documents. New brokers find everything in place, existing brokers stay productive, the firm compounds. See the Broker module.

Daily reality

What this role faces every week

Recurring pain points across yacht brokerage firm leadership — most reducible by firm-wide platform infrastructure.

Broker-owned data risk

A broker leaves. Their buyer relationships, deal history, AML files may go with them.

Firm-owned data on a shared platform survives broker transitions.

Compliance gaps at firm level

Each broker may be doing AML and sanctions screening "their way". The firm is the accountability point if it goes wrong.

  • AML thresholds inconsistent across brokers
  • Sanctions list freshness uncertain
  • Source-of-funds documentation gaps

Pipeline opacity to leadership

Firm director asks "how is the pipeline?" — answer comes from 10 different broker spreadsheets, each in a different format.

Commission infrastructure

Per-deal splits, co-brokerage, firm overhead allocation, multi-currency. Without infrastructure, every commission run is manual reconciliation.

Listings sync across brokers

Same listing in two brokers' systems. Drift, duplicate inquiries, awkward conversations.

New broker onboarding speed

New broker joins. 3 months to be fully productive because every workflow is undocumented tribal knowledge.

What SupaSailing does

Built around this exact workflow

SupaSailing's broker module gives the firm one shared workspace for vessels, contacts, pipeline and documents, with roles for the team — without slowing the brokers down.

Firm-owned inventory

Vessels, contacts and deals live in the firm's workspace, not in a broker's inbox. A private "Internal" dossier per vessel keeps owner, registration and files.

Multi-broker pipeline

Every opportunity in one board or table, with value, probability and the assigned broker. Pipeline value weighted by probability.

Roles and admin controls

Administrator, Manager and Broker roles. Only admins change the organisation profile, languages and invitations. Optional two-factor login for every user.

Supplier referral commissions

Service Network lists surveyors, mechanics, legal agents and other providers, and tracks referrals and accrued commission for each supplier (percentage or fixed amount).

Shared templates

Email templates with placeholders, form templates and inspection checklists shared by the whole firm. Documents go out for e-signature from the platform.

New broker onboarding

Invite by email with a role. The new broker logs in and finds the firm's vessels, contacts, pipeline and templates already there.

Firm dashboard

Pipeline value, active opportunities, contacts and unread emails at a glance, plus stage distribution and the latest deals.

Portal distribution

Publish the firm's listings to NautiX partner portals such as Boat24, yachtall, Band of Boats and Rightboat from one record, and import portal leads from the inbox.

How it works in practice

A typical workflow with SupaSailing

A representative quarter for a yacht brokerage firm of 12 brokers on SupaSailing — 7 representative touchpoints.

  1. 1

    Q1 — Contact assignment

    New buyer enquiry comes in. The director assigns the contact to a broker and an opportunity opens in the pipeline.

  2. 2

    Q1 — Listing onboarding

    New listing signed. Photos, specs and the owner's dossier entered once, then published to partner portals through the NautiX feed.

  3. 3

    Q1 — Broker onboarding

    New broker invited with the Broker role. Firm vessels, contacts and templates are there from the first login.

  4. 4

    Q2 — Pre-sale inspection

    Pre-sale verification on a listed yacht. Checklist from the firm's template, photos per item, PDF report for the owner.

  5. 5

    Q2 — Offer paperwork

    Buyer ready to commit. The offer goes out for e-signature; the firm countersigns automatically and both sides receive the signed PDF.

  6. 6

    Q3 — Pipeline automation

    Stage changes send templated emails to buyer, broker or both, each one recorded in the automation activity log.

  7. 7

    Q4 — Year-end review

    Pipeline value, closed and lost deals, supplier referrals reviewed from the dashboard and Service Network. Planning starts from real data.
