Why You should list your vessel with us! Founded by Jonathan Bond and still operated by him daily, Bond is a firm believer in Quality over Quantity. Unlike other Yacht Brokerages, each one of our boats has been boarded and evaluated by a Bond Yacht Sales broker to ensure quality and correctness. We pride ourselves on being some of the finest marine experts in the industry representing a brand in a way that exemplifies honesty and integrity. When listing with Bond Yacht Sales, we take care of all administration and marketing costs. We do all the marketing activity for you and will promote your boat across all major marine listing services, social media sites, and marine networks. We talk to buyers directly, arrange appointments, surveys, transportation and more. Here is a brief marketing plan highlighting some key points and procedures on how we ensure top-notch results and what you can expect when you work with our team of experienced brokers:
● Market Analysis: A detailed market analysis will be provided, highlighting active and sold listings to determine a recommended price point that will not only drive traffic, but be competitive to the market. Our goal is to sell your vessel at the highest possible return in a timely manner.
● Professional HD Photography and Drone Photography: Your vessel will be featured on all of our print advertising and websites with high quality, professional HD photography and drone footage.
● Strategic Listing: The “Write Up” is the heart of the listing. Our write-ups are strategically filled with top keywords and phrases to consistently engage SEO (search engine optimization) to its full potential. This is what keeps your vessel on top of all major search engines attracting new buyers daily.
● Websites: Your vessel will be featured on top lead-producing sites including YachtWorld.com, BoatTrader.com, Boats.com, YATCO.com, our website www.bondyachtsales.com, Bond Yacht Sales social media sites and nearly every other marine listing service online. There will not be a problem locating your vessel once it goes active.
● Enhanced Listings: Each one of our top listings receives enhancements. Enhancements are paid for placements that put your yacht in the premier or sponsored sections of sites like YachtWorld, BoatTrader, and YATCO. This not only features your yacht in more search areas, but it offers a much larger array of featured photos. Enhanced listings drive up to 40 percent more traffic than listings placed in standard inventory.
● Email Marketing: Each one of our new listings gets shared with our extensive network of buyers, sellers, and boating enthusiasts. Quite often this method has proven to be one of our greatest assets in generating an early lead.
● Your Broker: Your broker is the most important part of your listing. From the time your broker engages the first market analysis to the time your vessel goes live, we never stop learning your yacht. One thing we can’t stress enough is knowing your product. We are very confident that with our experience in the industry and our broker’s knowledge, there isn’t a better option available. We guarantee you will not get better representation anywhere else. In addition to our extensive marketing and listing program, Bond Yacht Sales also employs a dedicated documentation department handling everything from listing to closing. Our documentation department offers financing, insurance, Coast Guard documentation, and more. We are a full service yacht brokerage making the buying process simple and enjoyable. We look forward to selling your vessel!
