Selling A Yacht With Zolna Yachts
Yacht brokers work much like real estate agents, with the fiduciary responsibility to work hard to facilitate the sale of their listings and to protect and promote the interest of their clients. California and Florida are currently the only states in the US that require licensing of their yacht sales professionals.
The Zolna Yachts team have been buying and selling boats and yachts on a personal level for more than 25 years. Zolna Yachts, formerly known as Zolna Yacht Charters and San Diego Bay Vacation, have been in the San Diego Yacht Industry since 2007.
To ensure a timely sale, it is essential to ask a fair price. We will help you to determine fair market value for the boat through access to actual sold boat data only available to yacht Brokers. We will use that information in conjunction with other local and national search sites to come up with a strong valuation of your vessel.
We will promote your boat through advertising that is appropriate for your vessel so that we reach the most interested and qualified audience. YachtWorld.com, The Log, yatco.com, cobrokerage and our own personal database of over 800 yachting enthusiasts are just some of the ways we will promote your vessel to the world.
Your vessel should be in it’s best possible condition. We can advise you of any improvements that should be made to compete within today’s market, identify possible problems and solutions, and help organize upgrades and repairs. The vessel should be cleaned from top to bottom and staged to sell. We may suggest that you join our fleet of vessels at our home marina so that we can monitor your boat on a daily basis and increase the volume of showings by keeping the vessel visible to all our yacht charter customers.
As professional brokers, we understand the principles of the brokerage profession and are here to assist you with all the documents you will need to sell and transfer title to your boat. We are here to assist with all agreements, contracts, and secured escrow funds. From the initial negotiation, to the sea trials and surveys, through the entire process and beyond, we will be there to assist you. If you decide that you would like to make a few bucks during the listing process, we can discuss adding your yacht to our charter fleet. We are truly a full service yacht brokerage company and are thrilled that you are considering listing your vessel with us.
