ARBUTUS COAST YACHTS

Call 250 924 1269 for a FREE Yacht Appraisal.

YOU HAVE A CHOICE of which broker you want to work with whether selling or buying.

SELLERS Come in for a chat and you can then decide if you'd like to work with us to represent your vessel.

BUYERS Do you want assistance in purchasing your vessel? Use our expertise. All you have to do is let the SELLING broker/vendor know - immediately upon contact by phone or in person - that you're working with an ARBUTUS COAST YACHTS broker. Generally, brokers are paid by the vendor upon sale of their vessel.


FAQ: WHO PAYS for the service of a Yacht Broker? Yacht Brokers are similar to Realtors in that the most common practice would be that the SELLER* pays the brokers commission. *There are exceptions to the rule and that would be part of a discussion with your broker. 


We will sell your vessel, and assist you with your purchase decisions on POWER, SAIL and BOATHOUSES.

​``We only now understand why Dad chose you to represent the sale of his boat. You knew every inch from stem to stern including but not limited to on board systems. You treated it like your own. After Dads passing the family could relax knowing it was in capable hands as we had many other estate items to address. Your enthusiasm never wavered. The boat was re-positioned which entailed commuting expenses for showings via ferries, planes, buses and taxis. Thanks for all the work when the new owner went overseas shortly after the sale. You made the transition seamless for both parties ensuring everything was done professionally, diligently and timely. Your innate ability to teach items of importance plus a sense of humour while we navigated the maze. You`ve earned the families trust and respect. The Arbutus Coast Yachts team are shining stars in the brokerage industry for going above and beyond.`` 

            Sincerely, Audrey, Gordon, Barbara R.
