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.

"Ben Ward helped us buy our sailboat and the experience could not have been better. He is attentive, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and generous with his time. Throughout the entire process, Ben was in constant contact and answered all of our questions. Even after the sale, he stayed in touch with us to make sure we were taken care of and remind us he is available to support us."

Ben helped me negotiate a fantastic deal and, to my amazement, continues to provide enthusiastic support and consulting after the sale whenever I have questions. Ben is the real deal and I highly recommend him."
