Why list with Swiftsure Yachts?

Brochure quality photos

We take the time to carefully capture brochure quality photos. Our camera and lighting equipment and many years of experience result in brochure quality photos that will set your boat apart in a competetive marketplace.

Detailed information

A stem to stern inspection allows us to get to know your boat. The well-written, thorough specification that follows will accurately describe your yacht. Our goal with specifications is two-fold: attract buyers from distant locations and eliminate confusion during the sale.

Accurate pricing

To ensure a timely sale at the highest price possible, we will provide a market analysis with a comparison of competing boats currently for sale, recent sales history and a measure of overall market conditions.

Print advertising

Your yacht in all the right places: Cruising World, 48 North, Latitude 38 and Pacific Yachting magazine ads, professionally produced.

Digital advertising

A responsive website, engaging newsletter to targeting clients and brokers and native advertising on social media.

Prominent positioning

We regularly participate in major US boat shows in Seattle, San Francisco, Annapolis and Miami.

Cleaning and Maintenance

We include bi-weekly exterior cleaning for boats at our dock and supervise additional work to make sure our listings are in their best showing condition.

Ongoing communication

We track and analyze activity and meet as a tam weekly to discuss interest, pricing and marketing for each listing.

We provide you with a detailed monthly activity report to keep you apprised of what we are doing to sell your yacht.

Delivery and Training

As experienced mariners, we operate boats for sea trials, surveys, underway photos and demonstrations. Experienced skippers as well as those new to boating often need advice and support when learning the idiosyncrasies of their new vessel.

Testimonials:

At Swiftsure Yachts, we love connecting people with new boats, but we also take pride in helping owners sell them, too. Here’s a recent review from sellers that worked with our San Francisco Bay area broker Allison Lehman to sell their Lowland Kotter 47 trawler:
 
“I can’t say this enough—such a rare experience—to have the pleasure of such a knowledgeable, thorough and kind broker without whom the deal might not have happened. So grateful for her incredible extra efforts in each phase of the process. Allison was truly a pleasure. Thank you again.”
