Active Yacht makes the buying experience fun and hassle-free.

We have perfected the science/art of finding the best pre-owned yachts for our brokerage clients. First, our experienced brokers will listen, thereby defining each client's sailing needs and financial requirements. Then, drawing upon their years of yachting experience on literally hundreds of different yacht's, they will develop a sense of focus - narrowing the field of potential choices to those vessels that will best match each client's needs. Next, using the Internet and our own worldwide network of corresponding brokers, we locate and evaluate the individual vessels, prescreening likely candidates to save the client from making needless trips.
