Owner: 60m SAMURAI

our testimonials say

“The sale of SAMURAI in less than 3 months was testament to the focused and proactive approach that Christie Yachts deployed during the sales process.

Will’s strong and established relationships meant that they immediately generated a large amount of interest and the yacht was under offer in less than a month of coming to the market.”

OUR APPROACH

UNDERSTANDING THE MARKET

years of experience

Christie Yachts gives owners honest, accurate pricing advice, based on actual market data and selling prices to achieve the best financial outcome.

Some brokers will suggest they can realise an unachievable price for a yacht in order to secure their appointment as central agent. It is tempting to go with them but owners who do so often experience a protracted sales process, during which operational costs and depreciation continue.

Christie Yachts gives owners the advice they require to price their yacht correctly including when and how to act to any interest received. Owners are furnished with the information they need to sell with confidence.

FINDING THE RIGHT BUYER

the best price in the shortest time frame

Christie Yachts always has a number of active buyers and is a member of the most commonly used sales portals. Additionally, our established relationships mean we can expose your yacht to the entire international market through the brokerage community.

The vast majority of deals involve separate brokers acting for buyer and seller. Strong, trusted relationships with third-party brokers are vital to a successful sale. We have extensive and long-standing working relationships with all the leading individual brokers in the market.

As a seller, we are on your team, working hard to achieve the best possible price in the shortest possible time frame.

DISCREET

We respect your privacy

For a more discreet approach, we can also act as central agent for private ‘off-market’ sales. Through contacts with key clients and leading industry figures, we can sell your yacht with absolutely no marketing or other information reaching the public domain.

It is a tried-and-tested method used successfully by the team at Christie Yachts on a number of occasions in recent years. No publicity and no fuss.

PERSONAL & FOCUSED

attention to details

Every yacht is unique and requires a bespoke approach to achieve a swift, efficient and successful sale. With Christie Yachts, your yacht will not simply be a number in a huge fleet of boats for sale getting little personal attention. Your yacht will benefit from a focused, bespoke sales and marketing plan, ensuring the best possible outcome.

Indeed in a recent sale, Christie Yachts sold the 60m SAMURAI in only 90 days from appointment as Central Agents in a market where the average time on the market for a Superyacht is 612 days!

Owner: 95m Lurssen WHISPER (ex-KISMET)
"I’ve known Will and his team for many years. They are honest, direct, knowledgeable and most important incredibly creative to work with. I recommend them without limitation."
Owner: 75m Admiral KENSHO (World Superyachts Award 2023 Winner - Best Motor Yacht)
"Will has represented me in five separate yachting transactions in recent years, including the new construction of a 75m yacht and the purchase of an off-market 60m yacht. He is an extension of my private office team. I depend on him to give me straightforward and honest advice in a field in which he is an expert." "The construction of KENSHŌ has been an incredible personal journey for me. By my right hand, from the very start, has been Will Christie, someone I entrust in assisting me with all yachting related matters. Will and I worked together from original conceptual sketches made by ourselves to the incredible award-winning vessel we see on the water today. Helping to bring the right team together and handling the tender process and negotiations, Will has been an integral part in making my dream and vision a reality."
Owner: 55m Amels DRIFTWOOD
"Working with Will has always been both a pleasure and strategic given his experience not only as a broker but as a new-build advisor as well. I appreciate Will’s candid advice on all matters — he recognizes the value of strong, trust-based relationships even if it means telling you something you don’t want to hear."
Owner’s Representative: 55m Amels GALENE
"Will is knowledgeable, proactive, commercial and great fun to work with. He was at our right hand for the whole process - choosing the best shipyard to work with, selecting the yacht, advising us throughout the build process and recruiting a great crew. Will offers a highly bespoke service and we felt in very safe hands throughout."
Owner: 50m Heesen TOUTE SWEET
"I was only recently introduced to Christie Yachts when I was desperately searching for a quality 50m yacht, less than 5 years of age. Will hunted down two completely off-market yachts and I ended up buying one of them. I am very happy with the outcome. He did not stop with the presentation of the yacht. He really fought hard and represented my interests extremely well. He followed the deal with great precision and management until the yacht was signed and delivered. My lawyer from a very renowned law firm specialising in yacht transactions, did tell me from the outset that “Will is the best yacht broker.” I must agree."
Owner’s Representative: 45m Hakvoort AWATEA and 40m Feadship SEAFLOWER
"The evidence speaks for itself. Will has represented us in four transactions in the last 12 years: the purchase and subsequent sale of two top-quality Dutch built yachts. His market knowledge, thoroughness and people skills are invaluable in getting the job done and enjoying yourself along the way."
Owner: 35m Sunseeker LADY VOLANTIS
"I was introduced to Felix at the start of my yacht search. He really took the time to understand my requirements and worked hard to source suitable options in a market where the options were very thin. I ended up buying a yacht which Felix sourced off-market. Within 24 hours of being advised that she could be bought, I was on board with my family doing a sea trial. The whole process from the pricing negotiation to completion was incredibly smooth and I know that Felix had my best interests throughout."
Owner: 30m Mulder MAHALO
“Will is vastly experienced in representing both buyers and sellers and has a deep knowledge of the market and all the key players. For some, superyacht brokerage is a business but with Will it’s intensely personal. The interests of his client are first and foremost, front and centre. There is no one else I would want to have representing me.”
Owner: 27m Wally ALEXANDRA
"We met Felix during our first purchase of a yacht. Having purchased homes in NY, East Hampton and Palm Beach we know what to expect from a broker but Felix surpassed any expectations we had and was more attentive and supportive than anyone we have ever dealt with on the residential side. He held our hands on our new voyage and his knowledge of boats and crewing was and is still invaluable. We decided to make changes to the boat to suit our family and Felix's advice on every change was and is spot on. If it had not been for Felix, we might have changed our minds about a yacht purchase, so thank you, Felix."
Owner: 55.5M FEADSHIP, MARY A
“Will provided an exceptional service with his expertise and fully engaged commitment. Guiding with honest and direct dialogue throughout the search and negotiation process. I confidently recommend Will and the rest of his team.”
Owner: 50m PLAN B
“Christie Yachts know how to get deals done. From the big things to the very small, their experience and attention to detail makes all the difference.”
