Start by defining a precise brief — type, size, budget, cruising area and must-haves — then search the whole market, not just the first portal. NGY registers your criteria and scans MLS listings, off-market yachts, dealboards and auctions, sending you curated matches with the analysis behind each one.

A price alert notifies you automatically when a yacht matching your criteria is newly listed or drops in price. It lets serious buyers act first, which matters in a market where the best yachts and the sharpest price reductions move quickly.

Off-market yachts are vessels that are genuinely for sale but never publicly advertised, offered quietly through broker networks and owner relationships. They can be some of the best opportunities available, and you generally need a connected buyer agent to see them.

Yes, through bank, estate and distressed sales — and they can offer real value. They also carry real risk on condition, title and liens, so it is essential to have representation that vets the yacht and the paperwork before you bid.

You roll the value of your current yacht into the purchase of the next. We establish your yacht’s market value on real closed sales, then structure the trade and timing so the transition is clean and the numbers make sense on both sides.

In some cases a charitable donation is a sensible exit, with a potential tax benefit depending on your circumstances. We can facilitate the process, though you should confirm the tax treatment with your own professional — this is general information, not tax advice.

A Comparative Market Analysis benchmarks a yacht against genuinely comparable closed sales, adjusts for condition and equipment, and shows a defensible fair-value band. For a buyer, it is how you know whether an asking price is reasonable before you make an offer.

No. Registering your search and receiving alerts and curated matches is free and without obligation. In most brokerage purchases, buyer representation is paid from the seller’s existing commission, so working with an NGY buyer agent typically costs you nothing extra.
