International Yacht Acquisition

The World is Your Market.

We find it. We secure it. We deliver it. Turnkey acquisition, worldwide, backed by decades of marine engineering expertise.

We find it. We secure it. We deliver it.

The yacht you want likely isn't in your local marina. It might be in the Aegean, the Netherlands, or a private slip in Fort Lauderdale — often priced significantly lower than local equivalents simply because the right buyer hasn't found it yet.

One Number. Everything Included.

In international yachting, "purchase price" is only the beginning.

We eliminate the subsequent six months of invoice creep by providing a single Turnkey Acquisition Price. It accounts for every cost between the vessel's current dock and yours — no hidden fees, no customs surprises, no separate invoices from freight or import brokers.

Acquisition

Purchase price and export agency fees.

Logistics

Worldwide ocean freight, transport insurance, and final delivery power.

Legal

Customs clearance, import broker fees, duties, and taxes.

Compliance

Reflagging, USCG documentation, and EPA certification.

Technical

Electrical conversions (50Hz → 60Hz) and essential systems readiness.

Delivery

Final-mile transport to your home port — ready for immediate use.

One price. One point of contact. Total delivery.

Proven Execution

Not theoretical advice. An operational service.

Our track record is documented in completed transactions and vessels currently in the hands of satisfied owners. We know where the pitfalls are — because we've already navigated them.

  • Multiple completed ocean crossings across complex maritime routes
  • Vessels cleared through high-scrutiny international borders
  • Diverse flag jurisdictions and legal frameworks handled
  • A documented track record of satisfied owners
Strategic Arbitrage

Sourcing real value. Globally.

Most buyers are limited by their domestic market. We exploit global market differentials to find value that others miss.

Currency Advantages

A weak Euro or Sterling can grant a USD buyer a 20–35% purchasing-power advantage on the same vessel.

Market Oversupply

We identify regional surpluses — the Mediterranean ex-charter market, Northern European trawlers, and others.

The Invisible Market

Our network of captains, brokers, and surveyors surfaces off-market and pre-market vessels before they hit public listings.

The Engineering Edge

The standard broker's knowledge ends at the transaction. Ours doesn't.

When a survey flags a technical issue, most brokers call a specialist. We are the specialists. Our principal brings decades of hands-on marine engineering experience to every deal — yacht architecture understood at the circuit level.

Power Conversion

Expert migration of European (230V / 50Hz) vessels to American (120–240V / 60Hz) standards.

System Diagnostics

Deep fluency in propulsion, HVAC, hydraulics, watermakers, and AC/DC distribution.

Cost Accuracy

Because we understand the how, we price conversions or repairs accurately before you commit.

"We don't just read the survey; we interpret the vessel's soul. This technical depth lets us see opportunities in European-spec boats that other brokers dismiss as too complex."

The Bottom Line

You get one number. You get the world's best value. You get your boat.

The world's yacht market is deeper than you think. Let us open it for you.

Common Questions

What buyers ask us most.

Why would I buy a yacht from overseas?

A weak Euro or Sterling against the USD can give buyers a 20–35% purchasing-power advantage, and the Mediterranean ex-charter market and European trawler oversupply routinely surface vessels priced below US equivalents. We quantify that arbitrage before you commit.

What does the Turnkey Acquisition Price include?

Acquisition, logistics, legal (customs and duties), compliance (reflagging, USCG, EPA), technical (electrical conversion), and delivery to your home port. One number — no invoice creep from freight companies or import brokers down the line.

Can you handle the 50Hz to 60Hz electrical conversion?

Yes. Our principal brings decades of marine engineering experience. We understand European-spec vessels at the circuit level, which lets us price conversions accurately up front and manage them in-house.

How long does an international acquisition take?

Timelines vary by source region and vessel complexity, but a typical Mediterranean or Northern European acquisition takes 8–16 weeks from contract signing to delivery at your home port.
