Frequently asked questions about yacht broker (FAQ)
1. Can I sell my boat internationally through you?
Yes, we literally have a European network and even sell all over the world. If appropriate, we also offer your yacht on the largest boat offering website in the world: Yachtworld. There is no professional yacht broker for selling your boat that advertises the offer better than White Whale Yachtbrokers. We guarantee maximum exposure and findability on the internet.
2. How long does it take to sell a yacht through your yacht brokerage?
This depends on factors such as the type of yacht, condition, and asking price. Of course, variable market conditions (also per country) can have a lot of influence. We naturally strive for a quick sale. In 2024, we sold just over 300 boats with an average sales time of less than 4 months. White Whale Yachtbrokers is the most active yacht broker for selling your boat, so you have the assurance that we will do everything we can to successfully sell your boat. We can never guarantee a sale within a certain time, but we do guarantee that you have the maximum chance of success if you work with White Whale Yachtbrokers!
3. What do I need to do myself during the sale of my boat?
We arrange everything. From drafting the advertisement to viewings and the final delivery. Because you can continue sailing during the sales period, we only ask you to keep the boat neat and tidy. We always coordinate a viewing with you in advance, so you know exactly what to expect. You never have to be present at viewings. Only during the final sea trial and/or inspection is that usually useful and desired.
4. Are there any start-up costs for me as the owner of the boat?
No, nothing at all! We will come and take photos of the boat, go through the specifications with you, and draw up the advertisement. We will place this on more than 30 leading international boat websites throughout Europe and on yachtworld (if useful for a boat) for worldwide reach. All these costs are for us. We do ask for an exclusive sales period of 9 months. We are fully confident, if we work with you, that we can sell the boat. That is why we literally work on a no-cure-no-pay basis.
5. How much does it cost to engage a yacht broker from White Whale Yachtbrokers?

Another reason to choose a professional yacht broker for selling your boat through White Whale.
6. Do you also have a sales marina?
Our specialty for 25 years has been sales from your own berth. However, some White Whale Yachtbrokers offices also have berths for sales at their office. White Whale Willemstad, White Whale Lemmer and White Whale Croatia offer this possibility. But the other offices also have the right contacts with surrounding marinas to help you if desired. Regardless of your wishes, we are the suitable yacht broker for selling your boat. Ask us about the possibilities, email info@wwy.nl.
7. My boat is somewhere in the world where you don't have an office. What then?
Even then, we will simply help you with the sale of your boat. In most cases, we will come to your location to take photos of your boat. However, we will need more help from your side regarding viewings. We would be happy to make a tailor-made proposal, we assure you that it is worth it and you will make full use of our extensive network and marketing apparatus! Email us via international@wwy.nl .
8. Is buying a boat safe through White Whale Yachtbrokers?
We manage your money in our separate client account. We check the seller's ID (both via ID and via bank account) and whether the seller is indeed the owner of the boat. The seller only gets paid after the buyer has signed the Deed of Transfer, which happens immediately after the buyer receives the boat + keys + papers. Both buyer and seller have maximum security with us throughout the entire process. With more than 5,000 ships sold in the past 20 years and an average customer score of 9.5, you can be sure that you are choosing a truly reliable and sound yacht broker. We would also be happy to be your yacht broker for the purchase of your boat.
