How does the sale work?
First of all we would like to make an appointment with you at one of our branches or if possible on board your ship. So that the broker gets a picture of your ship and we can discuss the strategy, selling price, working method and brokerage.

Berth
Many of the branches have their own sales harbor, both in the water and on dry land. We prefer that we have your ship close to our office so that potential buyers can quickly and easily compare and view your ship and others. In this way it guarantees your privacy and the potential buyer can view your ship under our supervision when it suits the buyer. This way we can sell your ship easily and quickly.

The presentation
The presentation of the ship is central to the sale. The yacht broker will take attractive photos for you and the broker will give you tips on how you can best organize the ship. You prepare the inventory of your ship together with the broker, after which the broker can present your ship online.

To advertise
Thanks to our cooperation between the Schepenkring brokers and a joint website, we can sell your ship and market it as widely as possible. We advertise on many websites and magazines, so that your ship gets international attention. An extensive Google and social media campaign is underway to send as many visitors to your boat. The website is optimized for potential buyers with a simple and efficient search function, it is simple to select the ships that are of interest. Thanks to the trilingual website, we also focus on foreign customers. We also have a mobile website and make extensive use of QR codes in our sales presentations.

Viewings
Your broker answers the questions of potential buyers that they may have prior to their visit via e-mail and telephone. As soon as the viewer is interested, he will make an appointment for a viewing. During this viewing, the broker takes extensive time to show the potential buyer your ship and to answer the questions.

Bids and sea trial
If the buyer is interested, the broker will mediate with the bids between the two parties. As soon as an agreement is reached, the contracts are made, the test run and any inspection dates agreed. The broker will prepare the ship for the test run and make the test run for you. You do not need to be present as a seller, but the buyer often finds it pleasant.

Financial settlement
As soon as everything went well during the test run, the broker will take care of the financial settlement. And help the buyers on their way with their new ship.
