Buying a Yacht with FYI
Identifying the right yacht
Once in contact with FYI we’ll identify the boat that is best suited for your needs. There are innumerable options available and we will find the yacht you’ve always been dreaming of no matter where you or the vessel may be.
Making an offer & sealing the deal together
Once you’ve found the right yacht it will be time to present an offer to your broker who will then prepare a sales agreement laying out the timing of the Survey, Sea Trial, Acceptance & Closing. With your offer, it is customary to deposit 10% of the offered purchase price into escrow. Your broker will now present the offer to the seller who will either accept, reject or make a counter offer.
Survey
Yachts are intricate sea going machines. Upon a fully accepted offer, your boat broker will assist you in scheduling the surveys, out of water inspection and sea trial.
