Acquisition & Brokerage

Buying or selling a vessel is one of the most significant financial decisions you will make. We make sure it is also one of the best.

Overview

Swan Marine acts as your independent acquisition and brokerage partner — on both sides of the market. Whether you are looking to buy the right vessel or sell at the right price, we manage the process from first conversation to final settlement.

Our brokerage is underpinned by advisory. We do not just list boats — we assess them, position them correctly, and negotiate with the market knowledge to get the outcome you deserve.

01

Buyer Representation

We represent your interests as a buyer — not the seller, not the market. That means sourcing vessels that match your brief (including off-market opportunities), conducting independent due diligence, and negotiating purchase terms that reflect true market value.

Having Swan Marine in your corner as a buyer is particularly valuable in a market where most brokers represent sellers.

Vessel Marketing & Listing

We prepare, position, and market your vessel across the platforms that reach the right buyers — Boat Sales, Boats Online, Yacht Hub, YachtCo, and Yacht World, as well as our own database and social channels.

Every listing includes professional photography, a thorough condition overview, and pricing grounded in current market data.

03

Negotiation & Transaction

Skilled negotiation on both sides of the transaction is where the value of a good broker is most visible. We manage offers, counteroffers, and conditions with the discipline and market knowledge to achieve the best outcome.

We then coordinate the full settlement process — ensuring funds are protected and all parties reach completion smoothly.
