Selling a yacht is more than putting an advertisement online. Presentation, pricing strategy, international exposure and negotiation all make a real difference to the final result — and to how long your yacht sits on the market.
Yacht Broker Caribbean has been selling yachts in the Dutch Caribbean for more than 25 years. We handle the whole process personally: valuation, presentation, marketing, qualified buyers, negotiation, survey and closing.
What we do for you
- Professional market valuation — we inspect the vessel and assess its condition, equipment, location and documentation against current market conditions before recommending an asking price. We don’t name a price sight-unseen; it is the fastest way to lose money or lose months.
- Professional presentation — photography, accurate specifications and a clear, honest description. Buyers in this market are experienced, and a well-documented yacht sells faster than a flattered one.
- International marketing — your yacht is published on yachtbrokercaribbean.com and distributed to international yacht platforms, plus our social channels and professional network across the Caribbean, North America and Europe.
- Qualified buyers — we filter. You hear about buyers who are genuinely in the market for your type and size of vessel, not every enquiry that arrives.
- Negotiation & closing — offers, negotiation, purchase agreement, survey coordination and the closing process, including the paperwork that catches most private sellers out.
- Caribbean & international reach — whether your yacht lies in Curaçao, Bonaire, Aruba or elsewhere in the region, we position it for local and international buyers. We can also arrange transport, registration and documentation where the sale requires it.
Why sell through a broker here
- Local presence where your yacht actually is — we are based in Willemstad, Curaçao, with a branch on Bonaire. We can view the vessel, meet buyers and be there for the survey.
- We know what these boats sell for — Caribbean pricing is not European pricing. Location, import status and condition in this climate all move the number.
- One point of contact — you deal directly with an experienced broker from valuation to closing, not a call centre and not a different person at every stage.
Thinking about selling your yacht?
Before deciding on an asking price, we normally inspect the vessel and review its condition, equipment, location and documentation. There is no obligation and the conversation is confidential.
