Manage listings, buyer pipeline, sale documents, inspections and closings — in one platform built for the way yachts actually sell.
A yacht sales broker matches buyers to vessels, manages the listings + sales pipeline, executes MYBA-compliant transactions, coordinates surveys + sea trials, and lives by repeat client relationships built over decades.
A yacht sale at 30-100M is not a transaction. It is the culmination of a relationship that may have started 5 years before — at a boat show, on a charter, through a referral.
A complete sales broker works both sides: managing listings for selling owners, and shortlisting vessels for prospective buyers.
The 2026 reality, by the numbers
A yacht sale involves MYBA documentation, AML/sanctions checks, surveys, sea trials, classification, transfer of ownership, registration. Each step is a deal-breaker if missed.
Top sales brokers share a pattern: one platform for listings, buyer pipeline, paperwork, and historical relationships. The 5-year-old conversation from a boat show is one click away. See the Broker module for the full operational scope.
Typically found inside
Recurring pain points across yacht sales brokers — most reducible by consolidating listings, buyer pipeline, and transaction workflow.
Same listing on YachtWorld, BoatInternational, MarineMax, MYBA-affiliated channels — keeping them all in sync is a job in itself.
One vessel record pushed to connected partner portals after every change removes the most common reason a stale listing scares a buyer.
A buyer mentioned at a boat show 3 years ago. Now they're ready to buy. Without a CRM, the broker may not remember the conversation.
MOA + Bill of Sale + Acceptance + class transfer + flag state — each with multiple revisions and counter-signatures.
A yacht buyer at 50M is politically and reputationally exposed. AML and sanctions screening is mandatory and slow if manual.
Surveyor, sea trial captain, yard, buyer's technical rep — all need to be in the same place at the same time.
Co-brokered sales split commission. Without precise tracking, disputes are common.
SupaSailing's broker module handles listings, buyer pipeline, sale documents, inspections and meetings in one integrated workflow.
