Why use a broker?

Purchasing a boat is a big decision, as is deciding to sell your current vessel. When selling your vessel, with today’s technology, it is very tempting to “go it alone” and place your boat for sale yourself on the market, however there are many advantages to using a Yacht Broker. The foremost advantage is to ensure that you don’t get scammed by the ever-growing population of criminals on the internet.
