Who is Current Yachts?
We are a full service yacht brokerage company located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Annapolis, Maryland. Our licensed and bonded professional brokers assist yacht sellers and buyers every step of the way.
🎥 Watch The Full Displacement Podcast where we share guidance with yacht sellers and buyers, and news from the yacht brokerage market: https://podcast.currentyachts.com/all
We are revolutionizing yacht sales by offering a transparent, service-based pricing model that puts yacht buyers and sellers first. How?
1️⃣ Our flat-rate selling expense replaces inflated yacht brokerage commissions. And the buyer-side commission (called co-brokerage) only gets paid if a co-broker is present.
2️⃣ Our buyer-broker representation agreement means our yacht buyers receive the unbiased guidance they need to protect their interests.
3️⃣ Our modern platform streamlines the listing intake process including an listing agreement you can generate and signed digitally within minutes. Our platform ensures real-time communication with a dedicated team and provides analytics for all parties.
🏁 The result? More transparent yacht sales, and faster, more efficient transactions.
