Professional, transparent, and results-driven. Mathieu sold our Azimut 60 Flybridge in under 4 months at our target price. His market knowledge and negotiation skills made the difference. Highly recommended for serious sellers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about selling your yacht with Bella Yacht

How long does it typically take to sell a yacht on the French Riviera?
Across the market, a yacht typically takes 6 to 12 months to sell. Our job is to beat that average: correctly priced, professionally presented yachts can sell significantly faster — we have sold an Azimut 60 in under 4 months and found a qualified buyer for a Princess 56 within 6 weeks. The single biggest factor is honest pricing from day one.
How do you determine the right asking price for my yacht?
We cross four factors: recent comparable sales (what similar yachts actually sold for, not what they were listed at), your vessel’s condition and history, how many comparable units are currently for sale in Europe, and the demand we observe through our platform and international network. Overpricing ages a listing; underpricing costs you directly. You receive an argued price range, not a number.
Do you require an exclusive listing agreement?
We offer both open and exclusive mandates — and we favour the exclusive. A yacht is a niche product: its value lies in cultivated scarcity, not scattered exposure. Exclusivity lets us invest our best marketing and sales effort — professional photography and video, 360° virtual tour, premium placement, qualified buyers only — and it reassures buyers that they are making the right choice. Our commitment: selling your yacht quickly and securely.
What’s included in your brokerage service?
Everything from valuation to handover: professional photography and video, 360° virtual tour, technical file preparation, the full YachtWorld premium suite, YATCO and international broker MLS exposure, buyer qualification, accompanied viewings, sea trial coordination with your captain, negotiation, and complete closing coordination. Commercial terms are agreed with you directly — and our fee is due at completed sale.
How do you ensure confidentiality during the sale process?
Qualified buyers only, controlled documentation, and discreet viewings coordinated with your captain. Sea trials take place only once an offer has been accepted and the deposit paid — never before.
What happens if my yacht doesn’t sell within the agreed timeframe?
We review together, honestly: feedback from viewings, buyer objections, and positioning against current competition. Most often the answer is a price adjustment or a change in presentation — and we tell you plainly rather than letting the listing age. Mandate terms, including duration and how it ends, are set out clearly before you sign.
