Yacht sales management and marketing with impact is the foundation of selling your yacht. Your yacht has extraordinary value, and Yacht Broker Todd Weider, along with his team of workhorses, will unlock and capture it for you.
Yacht sales today is the art of working one on one with an experienced yacht sales expert. In addition to their proven sales methods, they ensure you and your yacht receive the personal attention they deserve.
It includes a tailored approach, a discrete relationship, and a personalized experience, from a professional who is available for all your needs and questions, without pain and aggravation.
In the new world of yacht sales and marketing, big yacht brokerages use your yacht to get more listings. They dump you into their systems for maximum gain. Their methods and one-size-fits-all old-school approaches are outdated.
Putting together a proven, multifaceted end-to-end strategy to sell your yacht for a maximum price is an important step. However, it requires more than access to UHNWI, digital expertise, proprietary data, product knowledge, collateral, and a worldwide network of middlemen.
Knowing what the market wants, and how to best position your yacht for today’s buyer matters more than ever. When done right, it’s the difference between your yacht sitting on the market overpriced, or worse yet, selling for a low price vs identifying its potential and unlocking its maximum value.

Orchestrate the sale of your yacht without conflict. Use a yacht sales broker without any direct shipyard or parent/holding company ownership. This allows your yacht to be objectively marketed to prospective buyers without concern that another yacht or builder must be given priority.
You’ll want insider information about which yachts have been cared for by highly qualified and respected professionals who operate and maintain them, and which ones have not.
Detailed information about yachts is often only obtainable from a highly qualified yacht broker or luxury yacht sales expert. The reason for this is because they know the industry and focus on yachts for sale, day in and day out, giving them direct knowledge of the global yacht fleet.
Further, many of the most sought-after yachts for sale worldwide are only offered for sale privately, which means they are not known to be available for purchase or offered in the public domain. For many reasons, they are often the best yachts to buy.

Sailing yachts and motor yachts not publicly offered or advertised for sale are most often referred to as “private listings”, and more times than not, they are only known by a limited number of the best yacht sales brokers.
The reason for this is because these yacht brokers are highly trusted. They share their own privately listed yachts for sale with other top-rated yacht brokers, and most importantly, they have their own exclusive lists of buyers looking for yachts to purchase.
These select few brokers also have inside information on pricing and how motivated the owners of these privately listed motor yachts and sailing yachts are.
In addition to having insider information and yacht sales expertise, Todd has also spent three decades operating, building, managing, and marketing some of the most complex and renowned luxury yachts on the planet.
It is his global travel, diverse expert knowledge, and real-world experience that sets yacht sales expert Todd Weider apart from many yacht brokers. This is also why he is recognized by yacht owners and his peers alike, as a leading luxury yacht sales specialist.
Todd’s unique skills allow him to identify the best yachts for sale and uses proven methods that provide rock-solid results, period. It is for this reason his clients work with him time and time again when searching yachts for sale around the globe.
When searching yachts for sale, the absolute biggest decision is not the yacht you will buy, but instead, who will represent you before, during, and after you buy a yacht.
If you, or the person giving you advice, are not multi-decade yacht professionals or yacht sales experts with real-world experience, and current market knowledge, you probably want to be careful.
There are many reasons to be careful, but the biggest reason is knowing what you don’t know. Having someone at your side with extensive experience, knowledge, and resources, who has your interests in mind, is step one.
Also, except under rare circumstances, it’s recommended to use a yacht sales specialist who does not represent the seller of any yacht for sale you may want to buy. (See more below)
Many yacht brokers can help you find a yacht to buy, but only the best yacht sales specialists know the market, and how to navigate buying a yacht. Using a qualified yacht broker can be the difference between wasting valuable time and money, vs buying exactly what you want.
Because of this, the process of buying an existing yacht, or building one, while protecting your interests, getting you to the closing table, and beyond, is why you want an expert.
To help you with this process, download the Best Yacht Broker Comparison Guide for free.
The first step in choosing a yacht sales expert to help you with your yacht buying process is to know how to find the best yacht broker. The good news is you are here, which means you’ve already found a well-qualified professional that can help, and you can now know with confidence that your search is likely over.
A qualified yacht broker will not only be licensed and have access to the best data, resources, and insider information about the best yachts for sale. They will also have real-world experience.
This means they have actually spent years onsite at yacht building facilities around the world, overseeing multi-year construction projects of luxury yachts.
They know about legalities, operations, and managing large and small yachts because they have hundreds of thousands of miles running them as a captain, or as in Todd’s case, they have done so as a superyacht captain worldwide.
They will have in-depth knowledge of the yacht buying process and how to simply navigate around any complex issues that may arise during the buying process, which will ultimately enable you to move forward to your closing, while still protecting your interests.
Now that you have a professional at your side, which shouldn’t cost you any money, the excitement of buying a yacht is now a whole lot easier.
This is because anytime you have a question about a certain yacht or about owning one, you have someone to provide you with sound insider advice, backed with decades of experience.
Simply ask your questions, or share yachts you may like, and if you have found the right yacht broker, you’ll get an answer within hours and often immediately.
With today’s communications, if a yacht sales expert does not reply promptly, it’s recommended you move on quickly.
When searching for yachts to buy, the most important element is to know your needs, and this is where things can begin to be confusing for even the most experienced yacht owners.
Why you may ask. The answer is because everything has an impact on something else. For example, with more guests usually comes more freezer space, and now storage requirements, which may mean more crew, which means a larger yacht, or maybe not.
You will know you have the right yacht expert at your side if they can clearly explain why.
More range may mean more fuel, and the question about if you need a full displacement yacht, or a semi-displacement yacht, needs to be considered.
Where will you use your newly purchased yacht? Is there a draft restriction you may not know about? Will your yacht be put into a charter program?
Knowing how to find the right answers to these questions and more, is critical, and referred to as discovery in the yacht buying process.
With a quick 15–30-minute call, a yacht specialist can quickly guide you through the discovery process. Then you’ll have enough knowledge to confidently begin searching yachts for sale.
An alternative is to free yourself up, relax, and a yacht sales expert like Todd will put together a fully customized presentation and market analysis of only the best yachts on the market that specifically meet your needs.
Yachts these days have it all, from beauty salons to submarines. If it’s out there, chances are you can find a yacht that has one, or several of the many options available.
Despite whether you may like a certain toy, feature, or amenity, taking all of them into consideration when you buy a yacht is an important part of the discovery process.
This is because, at some point in the future, your needs will change. You will either want to sell your yacht, or you may want to put it into a charter program, or even use it for a different purpose.
Your family and pool of friends may even grow, and the right amenities, features, and toys could be the difference between doing what you want or being stuck with what you have.
Working through this process requires a lot of questions to be asked and answered. This is where your yacht specialist makes the process enjoyable and guides you at each step.
A well-proportioned, comfortable, quality interior and exterior living space is a very subjective statement. What works for one may not work for another. This is why yachts for sale come in all shapes, styles, and designs.
Whether you’re looking for a new yacht or one that has been previously owned, it’s important not to rule out any yacht on looks or layout alone. The reason for this is some of the best buying opportunities on the market are yachts which require just a little vision.
Looking for a yacht with a bigger swim deck, or do you love the exterior styling of another yacht, but the interior styling or layout is not to your liking, not a problem.
Yacht extensions are common and easier to complete than you might think, and with the input of a qualified interior yacht stylist and a qualified yacht expert, new soft goods can easily be installed in as few as a couple of weeks, or with a full interior refit, which may include a layout modification, can take as few as 2-6 months.
These few changes can make a yacht, which you may have passed on, new again, exactly what you might want, and at a great price.
While most luxury yachts are beautiful to the eye, the interior fit-out, finish, and flow of a yacht can have a great impact on its price, noise levels, care, and efficiency. Details matter.
When a yacht is built, most people think of engineering as something that happens in the engine room, or in the design of the hull and systems, but behind the scenes, how the interior of a yacht is constructed, installed, and fit-out is an engineering marvel.
It is for this reason, many yachts of the same size may cost much less, where others are higher in price. This can be contributed to elements like floating interiors, access to services, noise dampening, selected materials, and whether it stands the test of time while at sea. A properly constructed yacht is important.
Knowing the practices of different yacht builders is not something many have first-hand knowledge of and why yacht owners consult with professional yacht sales and construction expert, Todd Weider, when searching yachts for sale.
Todd has managed, overseen, and orchestrated yachts under construction by many of the most reputable yacht builders around the world or has visited all of them, making him an expert in the field.
It used to be that when naval architects talked about efficiency, they were thinking about how well a yacht traveled across and/or through the water. They were thinking about speed and comfort underway.
Today the idea of efficiency encompasses all aspects of a yacht’s operation – at anchor, when cruising, will the galley afford the ability to put out enough food and on time, launching and retrieving tenders in various conditions, and much more.
Because of this, a yacht may look great, it may have the right number of cabins, and the price might be perfectly suited for your budget, but how will you determine her efficiency.
Every yacht owner at one time or another will be asked how fast his yacht goes, and with this question comes many other questions related to a yacht’s systems and propulsion equipment.
If you are looking for a high-performance yacht that can jet between ports quickly, your yacht will require huge quantities of thrust in the most efficient way possible. If your idea of yachting is enjoying a slower more relaxed pace, then your yacht may only require a fraction of the horsepower.
Regardless of your needs, you’ll want engines that are performing as they were designed, and engines that are reliable. This means knowing the history of the yacht’s engines, are they performing properly, when their last service was, along with how long until they need to be rebuilt or replaced.
All of these variables may have a big impact on the yacht’s price, and if you will have to take your next yacht out of service for an engine overhaul.
You are well on your way to finding the best yachts for sale, and now, you know what to look for, what to avoid, and how to navigate the process of buying a yacht.
To begin this amazing fun-filled experience, take the next step and contact yacht specialist Todd Weider. He’s happy to talk about yachts at any time.
