Yacht Broker in Vancouver
Expert guidance for buying and selling vessels
Your Partners in Luxury Yachting Throughout Vancouver
The yacht brokerage business in Vancouver hasn’t changed much since the 1980s. Most brokerages still work the same way they did decades ago, treating clients like transactions instead of people. We started Vancouver Yacht Group to change that. We bring boutique service, modern tools, and real long-term relationships to yacht buyers and sellers throughout British Columbia.
Expert Yacht Broker Services in Vancouver BC
At Vancouver Yacht Group, we’ve built our brokerage on a simple but powerful idea: quality over quantity. Unlike large corporate brokerages where you’re just another number in their system, we provide white-glove service to a select group of yacht owners. This means you get direct access to experienced professionals who know your vessel, understand your goals, and stay with you from the first meeting through to closing day.
Complete Brokerage Services with Personal Attention
Our yacht broker services in Vancouver do much more than just list boats or show vessels. We become your partners throughout the entire journey. From market valuations and expert negotiation to coordinating surveys and providing support after the sale, we handle every detail with care. Our boutique approach means you work directly with experienced professionals who treat your yacht like their own.
Our Yacht Brokerage Services
Selling Your Yacht in Vancouver
Selling your yacht in Vancouver’s market takes more than posting photos online. We help you get the best price and find the right buyer quickly. We start by studying the market to find the right price based on recent sales in British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest. We create custom marketing that shows off what makes your yacht special to serious buyers.
Professional photos, detailed descriptions, and smart placement across multiple websites give you maximum exposure. We handle all buyer questions, set up viewings, and check that prospects are serious. Our goal is selling your yacht quickly while getting you the best price.
Buying a Yacht with Expert Help
Finding and buying the right yacht needs expert guidance and market knowledge. Our buyer services work only for your interests, helping you pick the right vessel, understand the market, and negotiate a fair deal.
We search all available boats, including ones not listed publicly, to find yachts that match what you need and your budget. We set up marine surveys, go to sea trials with you, and manage all paperwork from offer to closing. Our technical knowledge helps spot potential problems before you buy, while our negotiation skills get you fair pricing and good terms.
Your Advocate: We work only for you as the buyer, not the seller. This means we help you get the best deal possible.

Market Analysis and Expert Advice
Understanding Vancouver’s yacht market helps you make smart decisions. Our advice services give you expert guidance on market conditions, pricing trends, and timing strategies for both buyers and sellers. We give you realistic valuations based on current market data and recent sales in the region.
Whether you’re thinking about buying, considering selling, planning upgrades, wanting to know current market value, or needing help with timing decisions, our advice helps you understand your options and create good strategies.
Marine Survey Coordination
Professional marine surveys are critical for smart yacht transactions. We coordinate complete inspections with qualified surveyors who understand Pacific Northwest vessels and conditions.
Survey coordination includes scheduling hull inspections, mechanical checks, sea trials, and special evaluations for electronics or rigging. After surveys, we review findings with you, explaining what they mean and how they affect your purchase decision or sale negotiation. This expertise helps buyers avoid costly mistakes and helps sellers address issues early before listing.
Negotiation and Transaction Management
Smart negotiation protects your interests and makes sure you get fair outcomes. Our brokerage experience gives us deep understanding of negotiation strategies and how transactions work. We negotiate purchase price or sale price, included equipment and extras, repairs before closing, closing timeline, survey contingencies, and payment terms.
We handle all talks between parties, present offers professionally, and fight for your interests throughout counteroffers and terms discussions. Transaction management goes beyond price negotiation to include coordinating paperwork, title checks, insurance needs, and registration procedures.
