Ocean Yachting International Yacht and Ship Brokers Fort Lauderdale, Florida - Antibes, France |
|
Consensus amongst yacht brokers confirmed, that 2009 has presented great opportunities for buyers to purchase large yachts in this, the strongest 'Buyers Market' that has been experienced to date and 2010 is expected to bottom out soon for buyers. Sellers expect to remain active in the brokerage market with inventory being strong, but with sellers no longer being pressured into ‘dumping’ their yachts. The market adjustment has occurred in most instances. Article continued below...

Article continues... Larger yachts (over 140') are starting to become available at pricing levels not envisioned just 6 months ago. Building slots are starting to appear for new builds at some of the best shipyards in the world. In the smaller range for boats between 60' and 90', brokers are willing to present almost any realistic offer to sellers in the hope that sellers are willing to negotiate prices. The best deals are being done when buyers are willing to close quickly, ensuring sellers that they have a commitment. There is no sense of panic for most sellers of large yachts, but the reality is that "qualified" buyers can make a good deal. Sellers are realistic about this 'new' market, and are amending their expectations. As a note to buyers expecting panicked sellers, I must say this is not the reality. Boats are not being 'given away' as some buyers expect, and the intrinsic value of good boats remain high. But, with the reality of what is going on around us, this is the greatest opportunity for buyers to find and make that deal of a lifetime. Sellers who are realistic are also able to do good business. I am here to help; so please contact me by phone at + (1) 954-600-8338 or E-MAIL to discuss your requirements. My experience should help you to make worthwhile decisions whether buyer or seller. Welcome to my web site. I am a yacht-broker specializing in large vessels, both power and sail. I have been professionally involved in the yachting industry for over 35 years. I am also a Captain with extensive offshore experience (approaching 240,000 n.m.) in yachts of all sizes, ranging from large Feadship motor yachts to classic J. Class America's Cup sailing yachts and everything in between. My experience and travels as Captain will be of great assistance to you as a buyer.
If your questions relate to “what is the best type of boat for my intended purpose”, I can be of assistance. My 200,000 plus miles of ocean sailing experience is available at any time, and I encourage you to get in touch. My company Ocean Yachting International is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and has an affiliate office in Antibes, France. We have possibly the best locations for yacht brokerage and client access available, with the major airports of Miami and Nice only 30 minutes from each office. We have representation on the West Coast of the USA as well as in the UK, Australasia and South America. Our brokers frequently travel to the Med. to attend the Boat Shows there as well as traveling on trips to inspect vessels and visit clients. We are truly an International group, comfortable whether dealing with clients and boats in New York, Cannes or Sydney. We specialize in the sale and charter of yachts, both power and sail, and we can also advise on, and arrange, re-fits and new construction projects. Prior to opening my own brokerage business, I was a broker with Ardell of Fort Lauderdale having joined them in 2001; they are the "senior" brokerage house in the US, and possibly the world. We presently have clients from Russia, the United States, UK, India, Sweden, Australia, Dubai; as well as new clients from other countries who we hope to ‘close’ purchases with soon.
Through our dealings with other brokerage companies we have strong ties to Europe and the Mediterranean, and many of our sales are for motor and sail yachts located in places other than the US. Typically, I average of six trips a year to Europe, as well as to other locations where boats of interest may lay, taking time to also visit the major international shows. During this last 12 months I have visited Feadship (Van Lent and De Vries), Cheoy-Lee, Nereid's, Baglietto, Proteskan/Turquoise and Trinity, inspecting their latest projects.
In creating this web site, I had one goal in mind. To ensure a seamless transition into my data base, so you could 'point and click' your way to vessels of interest. To date I have been encouraged by the positive comments that have been received on this subject. Ocean Yachting International is primarily a brokerage-house based on the Internet and World-wide web, and the fact that you are reading this is testament to my belief in the Internet, as a resource and ‘tool’ for my clients. I felt it important, once again to make it easy for you to 'cruise' to the vessels of interest in the easiest way possible. When you find a vessel of interest, I have asked for just the minimum information from you so that I can respond to your inquiry. If you would prefer to contact me directly, call me on my mobile or at my office. Either way, I would like to speak to you if I can assist you in any way. Your phone contact is always helpful.
I look forward to your feed-back regarding this site, and would like to hear from you in the hope I can assist you further.
Best regards,As listing specialist we look forward to assisting you. Please visit the link Listing Your Yacht on the left of this page. |
