Why choose Burgess to sell your yacht?

Published 16 novembre 2023

Quite simply, because you want to sell it - and Burgess is consistently the world's No.1 broker for 40m-plus yachts.

Why would you go anywhere else?

What lies behind our performance? What makes us the best choice for you?

There are five reasons why the service you get from Burgess is more effective than you’ll find anywhere else.

Reason 1 - we're one team

Our clients will tell you that working with Burgess is a pleasure: we are a professional, experienced and committed team

Uniquely, we directly employ all our brokers. That means that when you appoint us as your Central Agent for sale, you get over 30 highly experienced brokers worldwide sharing their expertise and contacts. We work together as one team to sell your yacht. That’s what makes our model such a powerful sales tool for you.


Reason 2 - we sell yachts like yours

In the last five years, more than half of the yachts Burgess has sold have been under 50m (165ft) in length

There is a perception that we’re a large yacht broker, that we only sell yachts over 50m (165ft) – and we have enjoyed industry-leading success in that sector. However, the truth might surprise you. In the last five years, over 60 percent of the yachts we have sold were 50m (165ft) or under in length. Yes, Burgess sells more yachts under 50m than over 50m. Our brokers bring the same professionalism, deal-making craft – and success – to the 30-50m (100-165ft) range. Burgess excels at selling yachts like yours.


Reason 3 - data-led professional marketing

Burgess has a dedicated marketing department with experienced professionals whose creativity, networks and data insights make the difference for you. No other broker has the ability we have to get the right message in front of the right client at the right time. That’s why, on average, we sell yachts quicker.


Reason 4 - your one-stop superyacht shop

There is not a single area of superyachting in which Burgess does not have significant expertise. We deliver a seamless experience for owners
