Thinking of Selling Your Boat?

Here is what you want to consider

1. Not all yacht brokers and brokerages are created equal.

Did you know that there are over 2900 licensed yacht brokers and 750 yacht brokerage companies in Florida alone? When you consider the 80/20 rule, where 80% of the sales come from only 20% of the brokers, how do you select a professional who can properly guide you through the process to l get the job done correctly for you?

The selection process is made easy by working with a Certified Professional Yacht Broker and a Certified Professional Yacht Brokerage. This is your assurance that you are working with the most highly trained, experienced and professional brokers in the industry.  Both  Joe Zammataro and Preferred Yachts  have earned this accreditation, which is your assurance that your interests are well represented and protected.
