“Kyle Kelly brokered our boat for us last July and they did it for top dollar in only about a month and we ordered a new regal from them in January of 2021 and just took delivery Labor Day weekend and Charlie was the most awesome salesman ( I can be difficult at times) and Tonya did great handling our finance . Awesome team at Kelly's Port top to bottom with a great gas dock that we've always used!!!“

“I bought a boat from Marine Max/Chandler Daggett back in 2015. They are excellent to work with in all capacities. Chandler was the best on the front end and the service department is top notch. I couldn't recommend more.“

Boat Broker FAQs

What does a boat broker do?

A boat broker helps individuals buy or sell boats by managing the listing, marketing, negotiations, paperwork, and closing process. Brokers are experienced in valuing boats, handling surveys and sea trials, and guiding both parties through the sale.

How is using a boat broker different from selling a boat on my own?

Using a broker gives you access to professional listings, industry networks, and negotiation expertise. They save you time, help set a fair market price, handle buyer screening, and assist with legal documentation—especially helpful for high-value or complex sales.

Do I need to pay a boat broker upfront?

No, most boat brokers work on commission and only get paid when your boat sells. Commission rates typically range from 5% to 10% of the final sale price, depending on the boat's value and the broker’s agreement.

Can a boat broker help me find a specific boat to buy?

Yes! A boat broker can act as a buyer’s agent, helping you find boats that meet your criteria, coordinating viewings, advising on fair pricing, and guiding you through the offer, inspection, and closing process.

How do I choose the right boat broker on Boat Planet?

Use Boat Planet to compare brokers based on location, specialties (powerboats, sailboats, luxury yachts, etc.), reviews, and past sales. Reach out to ask about their process, commission, and experience with boats like yours.

What’s involved in listing a boat with a broker?

Listing involves signing a brokerage agreement, preparing the boat for sale, setting a market price, and providing details like specs, photos, and maintenance records. The broker then markets the listing through MLS platforms, websites, and their network.

How long does it take to sell a boat through a broker?

It depends on market demand, boat condition, and pricing. Some boats sell in weeks, others take several months. A broker will help you price competitively and market effectively to reduce time on the market.

What should I do to prepare my boat for sale through a broker?

Clean and detail your boat, fix any obvious issues, gather service records, and remove personal items. Well-presented boats tend to sell faster and for higher prices. Your broker may also recommend a pre-sale survey or photoshoot.
