BUYING A BOAT?
Have an Experienced Broker & Captain on Your Side.
Buying a boat is a major investment. Whether you've already found the boat you want or you're just beginning your search, Yacht Finders can represent you throughout the buying process.
With over 25 years of marine industry experience, Yacht Finders helps buyers evaluate opportunities, negotiate with sellers and brokers, coordinate surveys and sea trials, handle transaction details, and get their new boat home.
We work for you—the buyer.
Found a boat you like?
It doesn't have to be listed with Yacht Finders.
If you've found a boat through another broker, dealer, online marketplace, or private seller, send us the listing before you make an offer.
We'll review the boat and asking price, discuss your goals, and help you determine the best way to approach the purchase.

Before You Make An Offer
A boat may look perfect online and still require careful evaluation.
Before moving forward, we can help you consider:
Is the asking price reasonable?
We review comparable boats, equipment, condition, engine hours, maintenance history, and current market conditions.
What should you offer?
We help develop an offer and negotiation strategy based on the boat and the circumstances of the sale.
What happens after the offer is accepted?
We help coordinate the survey, sea trial, documentation, closing process, and other transaction details.
What if the survey finds problems?
We help review the findings with you and, when appropriate, negotiate the transaction based on newly discovered information.
More Than a Boat Broker
Your Working with a Capt, Too
Yacht Finders was founded by Captain Kevin Graffagnino, a Licensed Yacht Broker and USCG 100-Ton Captain with more than 25 years of marine industry experience.
Captain Kevin has extensive experience with boat brokerage, vessel operations, surveys and sea trials, deliveries, yacht systems, and new-owner orientations.
That experience allows Yacht Finders to help beyond simply negotiating the purchase.
Once you buy the boat, we can also help you get it home and learn how to operate it.
