For buyers, sellers, and the international clients who close from another continent — the actual sequence, not the marketing version.
Where we earn our long-term reputation. Market scan, off-market intel, shortlist, walkthroughs, sea trial, independent survey, escrow, closing. We'll tell you when the boat you love is the wrong boat — twice, if you don't hear us the first time.
Contract to global market in seven days. Professional photography and walkthrough video, multi-channel listing, and direct, named outreach to qualified buyers — not autoresponder e-mail blasts.
US, EU, Caribbean & Middle Eastern clients. Flag-state filings, multi-jurisdiction escrow, secure international wires. We cover European and Gulf time zones around your schedule.
As an authorized dealer for Azimut, Sea Ray, Cranchi, Regal, Riva, Meridian and Maxum, we handle new-boat orders — slot allocation, options spec, survey-on-delivery — and place marine financing and insurance in-house.
Survey & sea-trial · coordinated under Newport BoatsWe retain only independent, credentialed surveyors. The boat comes out of the water, the bottom and running gear get inspected, the sea trial runs against a written checklist tied to your use case — and the survey results often become the basis for a second negotiation. That's where the deal is really made.
Use case, geography, budget, hidden constraints. What you want versus what you actually need — we're honest when those aren't the same boat.
5–10 vessels, listed and off-market, each with a written assessment, the number we believe it should close at, and the questions we'd ask the listing broker.
We meet you on the dock; for international buyers we run live walkthrough video. Sea trials are coordinated, documented, and assessed against your use case.
Written offer with contingencies, independent survey and haul-out, then the second negotiation the survey makes possible.
Escrow, USCG documentation or state titling, California tax handling, flag-state coordination, and marine insurance bound in-house in-house.
Captain and yard introductions, the punch list, the maintenance schedule, the next slip. The relationship doesn't end at the closing table.
