Buyer Representation
Forbes Yachts represents buyers with careful search, clear advice, and disciplined execution. We source listed and private vessels, evaluate true value, manage risk, and negotiate favorable terms so you can purchase with confidence.
Search and Sourcing
Targeted search across MLS and private channels, builder contacts, and broker networks. We present a short list that fits your brief and budget with clear pros and cons for each option.
Verification and Risk Control
Title checks, lien search, ownership history, service records, and market comps. We coordinate survey and sea trial and give you a point by point summary that supports a data driven decision.
Negotiation and Closing
Offer strategy based on condition and market, contract terms, escrow, documentation, and closing logistics. We keep milestones on track through delivery and after delivery support.
What you receive
Discovery
We define your mission, range, budget, and must haves. This creates a clear search profile and a plan for timing.
Short List
We screen choices, arrange viewings, and provide condition notes. You see the best options first.
Offer
We prepare a strong offer with protective terms and realistic timelines aligned with survey and sea trial.
Close
We guide escrow, documentation, and delivery. You receive clear ownership and a smooth handover.
Fees and engagement
In most purchases the buyer side commission is paid from the seller brokerage fee at closing. If a case requires a different structure we explain it in advance and confirm it in writing.
