How do Fraser brokers secure the best purchase experience for you – in every size range?
Intelligent matching
Fraser brokers have connected buyers to over $2.1bn (€1.9bn) worth of yachts in the past three years. Using knowledge built over an average of 24 years’ career experience, your broker works collaboratively with you to glean what you are looking for and presents both on and off market yachts that they believe best match your operational and experiential needs. Behind the brokers, a support team including a full-time Central Intelligence Department (CID) offers access to yachts before they are publicly for sale.
Inside knowledge – past and future
You can always expect honest and informed advice from your broker. Their laser-sharp, up-to-the-minute market knowledge will guide you on the history and expected maintenance of any potential yacht. As well as the benefits of owning any particular yacht, they will also highlight any weak points, minimising surprises in the future. Our expertise across all size ranges means we can advise on anticipated upcoming running costs based on how you intend to enjoy your yacht and where.
Private onboard tours, physically or virtually
Yacht visits, scheduled around you, enable you to live the onboard experience and get a true sense of the yacht’s spaces. Should you wish, a virtual tour with the broker offers excellent insight as a first step. Virtual visits today are an integral part of the process for over 40% of Buyers.
Every detail laid out
Full, in-depth specifications detail every aspect of a yacht’s features, spaces and performance. Further explanations and insight from your broker is at hand at any time. Full ongoing investigations into the yacht’s history and maintenance ensure you have the full picture at all times.
Securing the best price on your behalf
Market knowledge and hundreds of closed sales mean our brokers know exactly what represents a fair price for your specific yacht. Every Fraser broker is a highly experienced negotiator, and they will negotiate with the Seller on your behalf until you can be sure you have the best terms on the table.
Guidance that protects you
Working alongside an experienced broker ensures that the complex process of buying a yacht remains enjoyable for you through the many stages – and offers peace of mind that your interests are protected throughout. Your Fraser broker manages the full process including sea trials and survey, where their onboard and operational knowledge works to ensure your yacht performs as promised and you remain protected, now and going forward. And when it comes to offers and contracts, Fraser’s dedicated financial and legal specialists work with your legal team to ensure your interests are tightly protected before anything is signed.
Proven track record
Fraser brokers have closed well over 2,000 transactions in their careers. Every client we work with benefits from that experience and the added knowledge each sale brought. Which is why over 80% of Buyers who decide to sell and buy again, return to Fraser to ensure the best purchase experience once more. In the past 12 months, Fraser sold more yachts than any other provider.
