More Than Yacht Sales
We Help You Live the Lifestyle

"My experience with Ward Yard sales has been outstanding. Ben Ward is a fantastic broker and person, always available to help and assist wherever he can to meet the needs of the seller and buyer. I could not have been in better hands for the sale of my Beneteau Oceanis 43."

"I recently sold my boat through Ward Yacht Sales, and the entire process was smooth and professional thanks to Mitxi. She brought her extensive experience (over a decade in the industry) and genuine care to every step, from accurate valuation and strategic marketing to handling negotiations and closing details. Mitxi was responsive, honest, and went above and beyond to make sure everything went seamlessly. If you’re looking to sell your yacht with a trustworthy team, I highly recommend Ward Yacht Sales and specifically working with Mitxi. Top-notch service!"

"Ben at Ward Yacht Sales was invaluable in helping us sell our Valiant 42, Fidelity. After 17 years aboard, selling her was emotional, and we chose to handle the sale ourselves as owners. Ben served as a consultant, helping us map out each step and giving us clear, thoughtful guidance whenever we needed it.

He understood that this was far more than a transaction for us. His knowledge, patience, and steady support gave us confidence throughout the process, while always respecting that the decisions were ours. We’re deeply grateful to Ben and would wholeheartedly recommend Ward Yacht Sales to anyone looking for someone they can trust during a boat sale or purchase!"

"Our broker, Ben Ward, was exceptional. His professionalism and grace gave us confidence throughout the process. His business acumen shined as we discussed the market value of the vessel and the best way to approach the listing price and, subsequently, during negotiations. He provided sage advice and didn’t push for an outcome we didn’t feel was in our best interests. His marketing was best in class. Not only did he utilize multiple digital platforms and social media, but he put thought into the presentation that not only included the technical data but also highlighted the adventures possible in a vessel like ours. He is truly a pro. You won’t go wrong with him on your side of a sale or purchase."

"Could not have asked for a better broker than Ben Ward.
We were completely new to buying a sailboat and to the cruising lifestyle, so we needed a lot more help than someone who just showed us boats. Ben has lived the liveaboard life himself, and that experience was incredibly valuable. He understood what we were trying to do and gave us excellent, practical advice through the entire process. Buying the right boat took us quite a while, but Ben made a long and sometimes complicated process feel simple and manageable. He even travelled from Stuart, Florida, to Kittery, Maine, on his own to be there for the survey and sea trial. That says a lot about the kind of person he is. He also connected us with other clients who are already living this life. They were very generous with their time and helped us tremendously with decisions about insurance, hurricane planning and what to expect as new cruisers. It is easy to be skeptical of salespeople and wonder whether they are really looking out for you or just trying to make a sale. With Ben, we never felt that way. He truly cared about finding the right boat for us and making sure we were happy with the outcome. We trust him completely and would recommend him without hesitation, especially to someone buying their first cruising boat."

"We recently sold our Caliber 40 LRC sailboat through Ward Yacht Sales and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, Ben and Amber demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the market, professionalism, and genuine dedication to getting the job done. They made excellent use of social media and online exposure to reach the right buyers, combining traditional brokerage expertise with modern marketing savvy. Communication was consistent, transparent, and always timely — we felt informed and confident throughout the entire process. It was clear that they both worked hard to present our boat at its best and to attract serious interest. Ben and Amber went above and beyond, handling every detail with care and persistence until the sale was complete.
We highly recommend Ward Yacht Sales to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and proactive broker to sell their vessel.
