Your best bet: Experienced international brokers

 

There is a story told by yacht brokers to prospective clients when asked why a yacht broker is particular crucial to the purchase of a used megayacht and, while the names are usually omitted, it combines the elements of many other similar anecdotes. It seems that a very successful businessman decided to buy a yacht.

After touring a number of yachts with several different brokers, he saw one in Europe that he particularly liked, but he thought he could save some money on what seemed a simple purchase. After all, how difficult could such a transaction be for someone used to boardroom infighting.
