Selling a yacht comes down to three things: pricing her to the comps, putting her in front of real buyers, and a clean closing. FYI has done all three from Miami since 1994 — and you pay nothing until the boat sells.
How it works: (1) Free valuation — a market read priced from three decades of Miami closings and live comparable-sale data, so you list at a number that sells without leaving money on the table. (2) Preparation and presentation — cinematic photography, video, and editorial copy. (3) Global marketing — syndication across the major brokerage networks, FYI channels reaching 50,000+ people a day, and direct outreach to a screened worldwide buyer list. (4) Negotiation and closing — buyers are qualified before they step aboard, then in-house escrow, documentation, titling, and registration take the paperwork off your plate.
Every FYI consultant is a licensed broker with a public sold history — pick one who knows your segment, or call the office and we will match you.

Selling your yacht — frequently asked questions
How do I sell my yacht?
Four steps. First, a free valuation: a consultant prices your vessel from three decades of Miami closings and live comparable-sale data. Second, preparation: professional photography, video, and listing copy. Third, marketing: syndication across the major brokerage networks, FYI channels reaching 50,000+ people a day, and direct outreach to our worldwide buyer list. Fourth, negotiation and closing: buyers are qualified before they ever step aboard, and our in-house closing team handles escrow, documentation, titling, and registration. You pay nothing until the boat sells.
How long does it take to sell a yacht?
It depends on the vessel, the price positioning, and the season — a sharply priced boat in a liquid segment can move in weeks, while rarer vessels take longer to find their buyer. Your consultant will give you an honest read from recent comparable sales before you list, and pricing to the comps from day one is the single biggest factor in selling quickly.
What documents do I need to sell my yacht?
Typically the title or documentation, current registration, a loan payoff statement if the vessel is financed, and whatever maintenance and service records you have — good records genuinely help the price. FYI’s in-house closing team walks you through exactly what your transaction needs and handles the paperwork end to end.
How does FYI market my yacht?
Professional photography and video, placement across the major brokerage networks and our own channels reaching over 50,000 people per day, and direct outreach to our worldwide buyer network — all managed by your consultant.
What does it cost to list with FYI?
Standard brokerage commission is due only on a successful sale — there is no upfront fee to list. Request a free valuation and a consultant will walk you through the numbers for your vessel.
How do you price my yacht?
We price from three decades of local closings and live comparable-sale data, not a national average — so your yacht is positioned to sell without leaving money on the table.
Who handles the closing?
FYI's in-house closing services handle escrow, documentation, titling, and registration end to end, so the paperwork is off your plate.
Can I sell and buy at the same time?
Yes — many clients trade up. Your consultant coordinates the sale of your current vessel with the purchase of the next so the timing works in your favor.
