Why experience matters

A local market calls for local knowledge

Selling a boat on Marco Island takes more than a national website listing. It takes an intimate understanding of local buyers, accurate pricing, dockside logistics, and a service and engineering team capable of keeping a transaction moving when challenges arise.

Marco Yacht Sales has operated as an independent brokerage and closing house since 2016. Christopher Stahl’s broker career spans Irish Boat Shop, Bonita Boat Center, United Yacht Sales, Lighthouse Boat Center, arathon Boat Yard, Walkers Marine and Rose Marina Marine — a depth of local market experience no other active broker on this island can match.
Knowledge is backed by a complete in-house trained team: licensed brokers, certified service technicians, and a dedicated closing department — all under one roof, all working to get your transaction to the finish line.

Service and brokerage together

When a survey finds something, we have a team nearby

Survey findings can slow a sale or create questions for both sides. Our Yamaha- and Mercury-authorized service team can inspect issues, explain options and coordinate approved work without requiring you to start from scratch with an outside shop. Repairs and timing depend on the finding, parts and your approval.

A complete listing plan

From valuation to closing

Our brokerage process is built around presentation, qualified conversations and careful coordination—not simply a listing on a website.

Free valuation

Discuss the boat’s make, model, condition, equipment and current local market to establish a realistic starting price.

Professional marketing

Present the boat with waterside photography, aerial imagery where appropriate and outreach to our local buyer network.

Showings & buyer conversations

Coordinate inquiries and showings, discuss buyer fit and manage the next steps with both parties.

Survey & sea trial

Schedule inspections and trials, including haul-out and service support when the transaction calls for it.

In-house closing

Coordinate contracts, title work, lender requirements, registration and documentation with our closing team.

After-sale support

Stay available to answer handover questions and help coordinate delivery or service after the sale.

Before you accept an offer

Compare the whole transaction

An outright buyout and a brokerage listing are different choices. A quick sale can be right for some owners; a listed sale may offer a different net outcome and level of control. Ask what you’ll receive after fees, how the price was set, who handles surveys and repairs, and when funds will be available. We’ll give you a local valuation so you can compare your options without pressure.
