Yes, you can buy a boat on your own. Lots do it every day. And yes, more boats are bought privately than through a broker. So why should I search out a broker to assist with my boat purchase?
There are several important reasons to deal with a professional. It’s all about time and expertise.
FIRST, we will save you time. We do all of the legwork, research the boats, help narrow down the options, set up the viewings, research market value, prepare the offer paperwork.
SECOND, we work with you through the due diligence process, attending surveys and sea trials, reviewing survey findings with you, providing guidance on any further negotiation.
THIRD, we handle funds securely, from Deposits to Closing Funds.
AND we ensure all paperwork and documentation is complete and correct so that you can easily transfer the ownership of the vessel to you.
With over 50 years combined new and used boat sales, we know the market. And our team of yacht brokers knows how to utilize all of the resources at our disposal.
We will evaluate available boats and provide guidance on offer preparation and market values using our access to the boat MLS Service. This is information that is expensive to obtain and not widely available. Access to sold boat prices, equipment details, vessel location and time on the market are useful data points we use every day. But that alone isn’t enough. Working in this used sailboat and powerboat environment daily allows us to combine the data with our expertise.
We have worked with clients on the purchase of used boats across North America. We understand what's involved in placing an offer on a boat around the block or around the continent.
Our yacht brokers’ backgrounds are diverse, but we all have decades of boat ownership experience, and from 5 to 20 years brokerage and dealer experience. We have handled hundreds and hundreds of new and used boat sales from Toronto to the west coast to the southern US to the Eastern Seaboard.
We also have a range of prior business experience, providing a well rounded background that we bring to our clients.
Our connections include numerous boat and yacht brokers throughout North America as well as dozens of service providers.
The process of completing the purchase and then assisting you with post purchase logistics is a key part of what we offer.
The documents we use are approved and vetted by the Yacht Brokers Association of America. They are all in digital format and ready for e-signatures, so we are not dealing with the delays and legibility issues associated with printing, scanning, reprinting, etc.
Deals can be completed promptly and changes handled easily.
We also ensure that the Sellers' ownership documents are all in order and that you receive all required documentation to complete the transfer of ownership. we then provide guidance on the Transfer of Title for the vessel.
Getting an agreement on purchase price and terms is step one. Next is ensuring the vessel will be safe, seaworthy and as advertised.
We can guide you to accredited surveyors, and source mechanics and electronics tradespeople for assistance in evaluating the potential purchase. We will also review the findings with you and organize an action plan.
BREEZEWAY YACHTS is representing you the Buyer. As the Buyers Broker we handle all funds and ensure those are not released to the seller and selling brokerage until we obtain proof of completion of all of the documents required for proper closing and transfer of title.
Until then, your funds remain safely and securely in Canada, with us. We are Incorporated and fully insured.
Zero. Nada. Zilch, Where else will you get this kind of value.
That's right, we provide these yacht brokerage services to you, the buyer, at no cost to you. The old saying is 'You get what you pay for'. In this case, you get what the seller pays for.
As in real estate, the fees are paid by the seller, and that fee does not change with a second broker involved, so yes, you can use us at no cost.

“...we're shipwrecked on an island somewhere...send help. Just kidding. Had a nice sail back. The winds picked up and we had a few showers but no issues. We came into our spot nice and slow and the guys on the next boat gave us a hand...all good. We'll be sailing tomorrow. Thanks again for all your help. Happy Anniversary to you and the missus.” Tom S
“We just wanted to say thank you for all your effort in making the acquisition of Knot@Work a reality for us. We didn't think we would be able to make it all happen before we go away this week!

Thanks again for everything.” Sandra C and Henri D
