When buying or selling a yacht, having a trusted partner makes all the difference. With over 50 years of experience and a reputation built on integrity, results, and service, Murray Yacht Sales delivers real value – not just a transaction. Here’s why we’re the smart choice for both buyers and sellers.

1. Save Time — Let Us Do the Heavy Lifting

You’re busy. Between work, travel, and life, taking on a yacht sale or purchase is a full-time job — but it doesn’t have to be yours.

We handle it all:

• Reviewing and vetting listings
• Scheduling viewings and sea trials
• Creating accurate, data-backed market appraisals
• Managing paperwork, contracts, and compliance

For sellers: Are you showcasing your yacht objectively? How much of your own time are you willing to spend showing your boat before it’s worth hiring a pro?

For buyers: We guide you through the chaos of listings and negotiations so you can stay focused on what matters — whether that’s running a business or planning your next cruise.

2. Save Money — Knowledge That Pays for Itself

Working with a broker doesn’t cost you extra — in fact, it can save you thousands.

Here’s how:

• We provide data-driven guidance so you don’t overpay or undervalue.
• We help buyers find favorable financing and vessel insurance.
• We help sellers price intelligently for maximum exposure and optimal return.
• We keep offers and agreements clear, concise, and in writing to ensure proper communication between parties.

3. Access More Boats and Buyers

We don’t just list yachts — we network them.

With offices in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida — and connections across the country — we offer our clients:

• Local boots-on-deck for showings, surveys, and trials
• National brokerage relationships to find off-market or upcoming listings
• Access to proprietary listing platforms and tools unavailable to the public.

4. Expert Contract Guidance & Risk Reduction

Negotiating the sale or purchase of a yacht is a nuanced process that requires expertise and frequent practice.

Our Team will walk you through our Purchase & Sale Agreement from the Yacht Brokers Association of America. This contract is set up to clearly define the buyer and seller’s exposures and create a straightforward path to closing, yet with plenty of exit ramps along the way. We lean on our 50+ years of experience to ask the right questions in the appropriate stages of the process. If the boat is a candidate for the buyer, we’ll go over a list of responsibilities and potential challenges prior to “acceptance of vessel” to prevent either party from entering a situation where they have to default on their contract.

5. White-Glove Closing Experience

Closing a yacht sale involves many moving parts, from finalizing paperwork and disbursing payments to coordinating inspections and delivery. Our Team takes care of all these details, ensuring that the closing process is seamless and stress-free.

The final stretch matters. We coordinate every detail so you don’t have to:

• Final paperwork and wire transfers
• Insurance, documentation, and tax filings
• Delivery, transport, and buyer onboarding

We’ve handled hundreds of transactions and know how to navigate the inevitable curveballs. You’ll always know where things stand — and you’ll cross the finish line feeling confident.

This isn’t just a job — it’s our lifestyle. Everyone at Murray Yacht Sales is a boater who knows the freedom, joy, and complexity of yacht ownership. That means we speak your language — and we advocate for you like we’d want someone to advocate for us.

Whether you’re buying your first yacht or selling your tenth, Murray Yacht Sales has the experience, tools, and passion to get you results.
