What makes Ward Yacht Sales different?
-
Multi-State Presence, Local Expertise - with multiple locations and active brokers throughout Florida, as well as offices in Annapolis, Maryland, and Chicago, Illinois, we combine national reach with true local market knowledge—serving buyers and sellers wherever their yachting plans may take them.
-
Licensed, Vetted, and Professional Brokers - our brokers are licensed and bonded in their respective states, background-checked, and held to the highest professional standards. Just as importantly, they are responsive, experienced, and accountable to our clients.
-
Modern, Multi-Channel Marketing Strategy - we deploy a comprehensive, data-driven marketing approach. Your listing is featured on all major yacht MLS platforms and promoted across every major social media channel, maximizing exposure to qualified buyers—not just casual browsers.
-
Professional Photography & Video on Every Listing - every yacht we represent receives professional still photography and walk-through video, ensuring your vessel is presented accurately, attractively, and competitively from the first impression.
-
Market-Informed Pricing & Transparent Guidance - we don’t simply list boats—we advise. Our pricing recommendations are based on recent market data, comparable sales, and current buyer behavior, helping sellers position their yachts realistically and competitively.
-
Strong Buyer Qualification & Lead Management - we actively screen and qualify buyers, reducing wasted time, minimizing low-quality inquiries, and ensuring showings are productive and purposeful.
-
Negotiation Expertise That Protects Your Outcome - from start to finish, our brokers are skilled negotiators who understand contracts, surveys, and deal structure—protecting your interests through every stage of the transaction, not just the listing phase.
-
Concierge-Level Transaction Support - from documentation and escrow coordination to survey logistics and closing, we manage the details so you don’t have to—providing a smooth, low-stress experience from listing to delivery.
-
Competitive and Transparent Commission Structure - we offer a competitive commission model. In exclusive transactions where Ward Yacht Sales represents both the buyer and seller, we charge a standard 8% commission on the final gross sale price, aligning our incentives with a successful, efficient sale.

Jan Caswell
Sea Ray SLX 310
"Ward Yacht Sales did an awesome job with the sale of my vessel, SeaRay SLX310. Ben was able to sell my vessel in only 7 days! They were aways available and did great advertising. The buyer ended up being from Chicago so Ward Yacht Sales is nationwide!! I wouldn't trust anyone but Ben, Amber and their team to sell a vessel for me!"
Karen Keane
Passport 47
"Our experience with Ben and Amber has been exceptional. Ben was the selling broker in the purchase of our boat. What initially stood out to us was the level of marketing - the photos, the video, the quality of the listing, and level of detail provided about the boat - it was presented in a way that made us jump on it. During the buying process, Ben went above and beyond and was always available for questions. I highly recommend Ben and Amber as brokers - they clearly love boats and have an in-depth technical knowledge of boat systems. They have an honest, high service approach that creates trust and builds a relationship in the boat buying process. Five Stars!!"
Tommy and Tracy

"Selling your boat is bittersweet experience. Ben’s professionalism made our sale more sweet than bitter. He is a great communicator and always returned calls to let us know what was happening in real time. He got us a good price.
We highly recommend Ward Yachts."
Ben & Karen Wallace
Pacific Seacraft 40
"Ben Ward was recommended to us by Bob Perry himself and now we know why! From our first meeting, it was clear that Ben was a different type of broker, focused on helping us find the right boat and putting our interests ahead of his own. We're grateful for Ben's guidance and look forward to a long relationship going forward!"
