Buying a boat? Selling a boat?

Members of the Association of Yacht Brokers and Yacht Agents are professionals in boat buying and boat sales. ABYA is a professional organisation with over 150 members in the UK and abroad. Boat Dealers and Yacht Agents specialise in new and second-hand boats from day boats to superyachts, all experienced in boat sales within the marine industry – many have attended the intensive, industry-leading ABYA Practical Yacht Brokerage course, and members are required to keep their skills and knowledge up to date with Continuous Professional Development (CPD).

To FIND A BROKER choose the "Yacht Brokerage/Sales" dropdown.

So whether you're thinking of buying or selling a boat, it makes sense to talk to an ABYA member:

  • Client Account - For the security of both buyer and seller, ABYA members set up a special secure account with their bank that holds client monies in trust which does not form part of the broker's own accounts
  • ABYA provides standard documents for the sale/purchase and listing of boats
  • ABYA members hold Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Insurance
  • ABYA members work to the ABYA Code of Practice
  • ABYA operates a Customs Warehousing Scheme allowing brokers to offer ex-VAT boats for sale in the UK
