Happy Clients

In Cabo, yacht ownership means access to world-class marinas, protected waters, and year-round cruising conditions that attract boaters from across North America. Whether you’re buying your first yacht in Mexico, selling a vessel you’ve kept at IGY Marina, or need management services while you’re back in the U.S. or Canada, you deserve a broker who understands both the opportunity and complexity of the Cabo market.

We provide complete yacht and boat brokerage services throughout Cabo San Lucas, the Corridor, and the broader Sea of Cortez region. Our expertise covers buying, selling, management, inspections, consulting, and appraisals for vessels from 35 feet to over 100 feet. Work with a brokerage that understands Cabo’s unique marina infrastructure, Mexican registration requirements, customs procedures, and the seasonal market dynamics between Baja California Sur and mainland Mexico.

Boutique Service with Deep Local Knowledge

You get boutique service with deep local knowledge. We maintain connections with buyers and sellers throughout the Sea of Cortez, Southern California, the Pacific Northwest, and Western Canada. Our hands-on approach means you work directly with experienced professionals who know the difference between downtown marina life and Corridor options, understand what Mexican flag registration really involves, and can guide you through decisions that protect your investment and your time.

Yacht Buying Service in Cabo

Finding the right yacht in Cabo means more than just browsing online listings. You need a broker who understands which vessels handle Sea of Cortez conditions, what Mexican registration actually requires, and where you’ll find reliable moorage in a market where slips book months ahead.

Expert Guidance Through the Mexican Market

We work with buyers relocating to Mexico, Americans and Canadians seeking tax advantages, cruisers looking for a Cabo-based vessel, and anyone who wants expert guidance through the process. You get help finding yachts and boats that meet Mexico’s navigation laws without unnecessary complexity. We explain marina availability at Marina Cabo San Lucas, IGY Cabo, and Puerto Los Cabos before you make offers. Our connections with sellers throughout Baja California Sur mean you see inventory that doesn’t always make it to major listing sites.

Complete Due Diligence and Documentation

The buying process includes coordinating marine surveys with inspectors we trust, arranging sea trials in appropriate conditions, and handling Mexican documentation from temporary import permits to permanent registration. We explain ownership costs honestly, including slip fees that vary significantly between downtown and Corridor locations. You make informed decisions with a partner who has completed dozens of transactions in Cabo waters and knows which details matter most.

Whether you’re buying a 40-foot sportfisher for Cabo game fishing or a 70-foot motor yacht for extended Sea of Cortez cruising, we match you with vessels suited to your plans. Our goal is finding the right boat, not just closing a deal.

Yacht Selling Service in Cabo

Selling your yacht in Cabo requires marketing that reaches qualified buyers, pricing based on current market data, and documentation expertise that keeps transactions moving forward. We handle all three.

Professional Marketing That Reaches Qualified Buyers

Our clients include owners moving north after years in Cabo, sellers downsizing due to marina cost increases, and those upgrading to larger vessels or different styles. Professional photography on Cabo waters captures your vessel with Land’s End formations, downtown marina settings, or open water backdrops that showcase what makes your boat special. Marketing reaches buyers in California, Western Canada, and throughout Mexico through MLS systems, targeted advertising, and our network of broker relationships.

Handling Mexican Documentation and Transfer

We handle Mexican documentation and transfer requirements so you don’t navigate government offices alone. This includes coordinating with customs officials, managing temporary import permit cancellations, and ensuring proper title transfer under Mexican maritime law. Your vessel gets positioned to buyers cruising the Pacific coast and those seeking permanent Cabo moorage. We leverage seasonal demand during winter months when the Cabo market sees the highest activity and the strongest buyer interest.

Strategic Pricing Based on Market Data

Pricing strategy matters in Cabo’s unique market. We provide valuations based on recent sales throughout Baja, current inventory analysis, and realistic timelines for your vessel type. You know what to expect from the start. Our boutique approach means we limit our listings to maintain quality marketing attention. When we take on you

Yacht Management in Cabo

Complete Care for Absentee Owners

We provide comprehensive management for absentee owners who visit seasonally. This includes coordinating scheduled maintenance with certified marine technicians in the Corridor and Cabo San Lucas, managing hurricane prep when storms threaten, and maintaining positive marina relations so your slip stays secured. We handle customs and temporary import permits to keep your vessel compliant with Mexican regulations. The goal is simple: your yacht is ready when you arrive, maintained to high standards while you’re away.

Maintenance Coordination and Oversight

Management services cover slip fee coordination at IGY or private marinas, oversight of repairs and upgrades, regular inspections to catch problems early, and emergency response when issues arise. We work with the best marine service providers in the region and ensure work gets completed properly. You receive regular updates with photos and detailed reports. No surprises when you return for your Cabo season.

Hurricane Season Protection

Hurricane season preparations include securing loose equipment, checking dock lines and fenders, coordinating haul-outs when needed, and monitoring weather systems. We’ve managed vessels through multiple hurricane seasons and know what protection your specific boat needs. Marina management involves more than paying bills. We maintain relationships with dock masters, handle slip assignment changes, and resolve issues before they become problems.

Local Representation You Can Trust

This isn’t remote management through email alone. We physically check your vessel regularly, coordinate with technicians in person, and treat your yacht like our own. Absentee ownership in Mexico requires local representation you trust. We provide exactly that.

Yacht Inspection and Sea Trials in Cabo

Understanding Inspection Results

After inspections complete, we review results with you in plain language. Marine surveys often contain technical terminology that confuses buyers. We explain what findings actually mean for your purchase decision, which issues require immediate attention, and what items are normal for the vessel's age and use. You understand exactly what you're buying. Our goal is ensuring you make informed decisions backed by professional inspection data and experienced interpretation. Cabo's market includes vessels from throughout North America, and inspection quality varies significantly. We connect you with surveyors who provide thorough, honest assessments rather than cursory reviews.

Yacht Consulting in Cabo

First-time yacht ownership in Mexico raises questions that generic advice can’t answer. Marina costs vary dramatically depending on location and season. Mexican flag registration involves different requirements than temporary import permits. Ownership costs include factors specific to Cabo that don’t apply elsewhere.

Understanding Mexican Maritime Requirements

We provide consulting for buyers unfamiliar with Mexico’s maritime laws, costs, and practical realities of yacht ownership in Baja. Guidance covers marina expenses from basic slip fees to electricity and water charges, Mexican registration processes and timeline expectations, temporary import rules that affect how long you can keep your vessel in Mexico, and seasonal market timing that impacts when you should buy or sell.

Marina Selection and Cost Analysis

Consulting includes honest insight into Cabo’s marina availability and current waiting lists for downtown slips versus immediate availability in Corridor locations. We explain cost differences between marina options including security levels, amenities, and proximity to services. You understand what yacht ownership in Cabo actually requires before you commit to a purchase.

Real Ownership Costs and Considerations

Topics we cover include annual ownership costs from insurance to maintenance, bottom painting frequency in warm Mexican waters, parts availability and service costs in Cabo versus the U.S., and cruising considerations for the Sea of Cortez region. Our experience managing and selling dozens of vessels in Cabo means we answer questions based on real situations, not theory.

Consulting often prevents expensive mistakes. Understanding slip costs, maintenance realities, and customs requirements before you buy saves money and frustration. We provide this guidance whether you’re working with us for brokerage services or simply need expert advice before making decisions.

Your Partners in Cabo Yachting

Yacht ownership in Cabo offers incredible rewards from world-class sportfishing to protected anchorages and a lifestyle that draws people from across North America. Getting there requires working with professionals who understand both the opportunity and the details that make ownership successful.

Boutique Service That Makes the Difference

We provide boutique yacht brokerage services with the local knowledge, technical expertise, and personal attention that larger brokerages can’t match. Whether you’re buying your first boat in Mexico, selling after years in Cabo, or need comprehensive management while you’re back home, you get dedicated partners focused on your specific goals.

Yacht Appraisals in Cabo

Accurate yacht valuations in Cabo require understanding both local market conditions and broader regional sales data from La Paz to Puerto Vallarta to San Diego. We provide appraisals for insurance, financing, and pre-sale strategy.

Market-Based Valuations

Our appraisals analyze recent sales of comparable vessels throughout Baja and current inventory across the Sea of Cortez region. Documentation meets requirements for Mexican and U.S. insurance providers and lenders. We account for Mexico-specific considerations including slip location value, condition factors from year-round warm water use, and equipment differences common on vessels based in Cabo versus those from northern climates.

Detailed Comparative Analysis

Appraisals include detailed comparisons showing how your vessel compares to similar yachts recently sold, current asking prices for competing inventory, and realistic pricing based on condition and market timing. You receive written documentation suitable for insurance underwriting, loan applications, or establishing fair market value before listing your boat for sale.

Pre-Sale Pricing Strategy

Pre-sale appraisals help sellers price correctly from day one. Overpricing based on emotional attachment or outdated information kills momentum and extends time on market. Our valuations give you realistic expectations and pricing strategy that attracts serious buyers while protecting your equity.
