Not a cent from the seller, ever
The customary half of the selling commission is worth far more than our fee on almost every boat we handle. We decline it in writing at the start, which is why some central agents would rather deal with anyone else.
Retained by buyers only · Palma and Hamburg · since 2004
We have never had
a boat to sell you.
One side of the table, one flat fee, agreed before we look at anything. We hold no listings, take nothing from a seller and are paid the same whether you buy in March or walk away in November.
- Fee fixed before the search opens
- No commission from any seller
- Survey findings published to you in full

How we are paid
The parts of this the trade dislikes
We pay our own way at the yards
No shipyard hospitality, no launch invitations, no flights or hotels taken from anybody with a boat to move. Our December was a lot quieter than it used to be and the travel bill is ours.
We tell clients not to buy, and often
Eleven of the last thirty-four searches ended with nobody buying anything. The fee is the same in that case, but a client who buys nothing brings us no second commission and no refit work, and three of those eleven never came back.
The deduction list goes out unedited
Every survey finding, its cost and what we managed to get off the price, written down and given to the client. Sellers' brokers have read those lists afterwards, and two yards have stopped returning our calls because of them.
“The boat I wanted was the second one they inspected, and Marcus spent forty minutes explaining why I should not have it. I paid him the same fee to stop me as I would have paid him to buy it. Eighteen months later he found one that had never been advertised.”
