From Doing Crew to Selling Yachts: The Glam and Not So Glam Life of a Yacht Broker

414 Bekeken· 26/09/21

There is a misconception that being a Yacht Broker is all about hanging around luxurious boats in exotic destinations. While that is true for some not all of us have that luxury. On this video I show you a day in the life. Today we were picking up a 1997 Hunter. 376. This is a situation where the husband passed away and we are trying to help the widow deal with the sale of the boat. A friend of the family had sent us pictures of the boat which look good, so we decided to take on the job. The boat was located in Venice Yacht Club and we had to move it to Regatta Pointe Marina in Palmetto, FL. This is a 6.5 - 7 hr trip. Now we have not physically seen the boat. So I brought Capt Danny Blankenship with me to run the boat to Regatta Pointe. The challenge with taking on boats site unseen, is that you do not really know what you are going to find. Will the boat be a derelict boat, will the engine start, if the engine start will it be reliable enough to get us back to Regatta Pointe. All of these are more are questions that run through your head whenever you take on this type of activity. Once you get the boat over, what condition will be it in? There are boxes upon boxes of stuff we will have to sort through to get to a point where we can make a good assessment on the boat. So thank you for joining me and allowing me to share a day in my life with you.
