SELLING YOUR YACHT?
If your yacht is a model year 2000 or newer, you can increase the chances of selling it and selling it for more if you have an extended service plan.  Industry figures show that pre-owned yachts with an extended service plan are 30% more likely to sell than ones without and buyers are willing to pay an extra 10% for yachts that have an extended service plan included with the sale.

Here is what some of our top Brokers say about the value of an extended service plan when it comes time to sell:
According to Anna Maria Broker Chris Carrere, “Extended service plans provide incredible value because they take away a lot of the variables that can cause concern to a new buyer.  These plans ultimately end up paying for themselves many times over, both in terms of repair reimbursement and resale assistance.  In terms of big boats, if you don’t have an extended service plan, you are behind the curve.”
Tampa Broker Jason Lozeau says, “If you are trying to sell a pre-owned yacht, an extended service plan is one of the most important things you can have.  We make sure that it is the first thing that a Buyer sees when they look at the Yacht World Listing.  Another benefit: If any major issues come up on the pre-sale survey, you can hold the sale together and minimize your out of pocket expense.”
If you are thinking about selling your yacht, or if you want to protect your investment and increase the value of your vessel, consider adding an extended service plan.

You will be glad you did.  Transferable coverage will offer the next owner peace of mind, not to mention a higher resale value for you.
Please call Mike Fischer at (941) 778-0755 to get information on which extended service plan will best meet your needs.

A Voyage To Remember

Commercial to take possession of four new Carver Yachts.  The yachts were located in Iuka Mississippi, which is on the Tennessee River.  For the next eight days, 4 Captains and 4 mates would maneuver a 36 SS, 41 CPMY, 43 SS and a 56 Voyager down the Tenn-Tom Waterway to a final destination
of Destin, Florida.
