A superyacht broker shares 3 surprising things about selling boats to the ultrawealthy
"It's one of the most fascinating things on the planet to be around such special people and being able to learn from them, having conversations with them, and getting a glimpse into the world that they live,"
"The people that you see on very large yachts, 50 meters and up, those are the people that show up with sweatpants on, a T-shirt,"
"True wealth is super quiet and reserved,"
A Miami-based superyacht broker sells vessels larger than 40 meters to ultrawealthy clients who buy, sell, charter, and manage multimillion-dollar yachts. The broker began in the industry washing boats for $3 per foot and developed curiosity about the lives of wealthy owners. Owners of the largest yachts tend to dress casually, avoid jewelry, and behave privately, while charter guests more often display flashy attire and jewelry. Yacht ownership is driven primarily by a desire for time, privacy, and convenience rather than public status. The superyacht market is larger and more active than initially expected.
