Pre-Sale Preparation

If it has come time to depart with your yacht it is important that time is not wasted during the sale. Delays in liquidating your asset can be costly with increased advertising costs, docking fees and depreciation. At American Yacht Maintenance we take pride in our ability to ensure your boat is sold in record time and achieve your asking price. Whether you have a 20 foot sports boat or 100 foot super yacht, our pre sale service is a must.

When selling, aesthetic appeal is very important. First impressions for potential buyers are everything and a well detailed yacht gives the perception of a vessel that has been well cared for. Our pre sale packages can be tailored to your requirement and include two parts.
