Selecting the right yacht brokerage firm when selling your yacht means you must look for the most experienced and knowledgeable firm, not the one who tells you whatever you want to hear just to get you to sign with them.
Make sure their claims are accurate and true
Get the facts. Ask for their sales results
Don’t settle for industry sales reports –it’s not a good indicator of sales expertise
Choose a broker that knows what it takes to sell a boat and how to obtain maximum value
Deep industry sales experience, understanding the market and product knowledge are key
When it comes to listing your yacht with a broker, don’t settle. You can and should expect more from the firm working for you.
That's why Campisano Marine partnered with Brewer Yacht Sales, the Northeast Largest Brokerage.
But why list with us?
Joe Campisano.
Joe Campisano's experience is unmatched in the marine industry. He grew up every summer at the Jersey Shore and has been an avid boater from a very young age. Starting out of college, Joe's love for the boating community naturally turned him into working in the boating industry.
From small sport boats, several sailboats, cruisers and performance boats, Joe has experienced, as an owner, virtually every kind of boat under 40 feet. He has raced and owned a Championship Offshore racing team and has taught basic boating classes to many boaters in the NJ Area. In addition, he has previously owned and operated a full-service Certified Marine Service Center for 15 years that serviced over 600 boats annually. He has over 1000 Brokerage Sales to his credit and his knowledge in the buying and selling of boats & yachts goes beyond just showing a boat.
Joe currently owns and operates a full-service Insurance Agency that of course, specializes in Boat & Yacht Insurance. Since 1986 the Insurance Agency has grown to insure all forms of personal insurance products and currently maintains an active Insurance Client list of over 3700 From Maine, To Florida and Internationally to the Caribbean and Bahamas.
When he is not at the office or out on the family boat with his wife Sherry, Joe can be found in the hockey rink with his two boys Anthony & Joey and his hundreds of players, as a 30 year Hockey Development Coach.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT BROKER FOR THE JOB
Selling your boat starts with choosing the right broker for the job! Selling your boat takes a well-coordinated sales effort, best performed by an experienced broker with a proven track record of success. A seasoned, professional yacht broker will have an existing book of potential clients and an established reputation within the yacht brokerage community – making co-brokerage sales uncomplicated. A new boat dealer may not be the best choice because most of their efforts may be focused on new boat sales and they haven’t gone through the complicated testing and on-going training an accredited CPYB (Certified Professional Yacht Broker) has. A CPYB broker is required to maintain his certification in order to keep up with market trends and guidelines. Most Brewer brokers have earned their CPYB accreditation and all are members of YBAA (Yacht Brokers Association of America).
CURB APPEAL
It’s long been said that first impressions are everything and dock appeal is very important. If it’s clean, bright, and smells and looks good, then you’ve got a good chance of making a sale. If it smells like septic hoses and there are signs of rust in the engine and mildew – clean it. It’s also helpful to touch-up brightwork or paint.
CLEAN UP
Remove mold and mildew from compartments, bilges, and upholstery. A dirty boat is a sign of neglect. Wipe away any excess grease or soot. Remove personal belongings and keep it uncluttered. Sails, life-jackets, fishing poles should be stowed away neatly. A potential buyer will open cabinets wanting to see a clean and organized space.
PRE-SURVEY
We often advise that you have a survey completed by an accredited marine surveyor: this can be a worthwhile sales tool and adds value to your boat because we will make the survey available to potential buyers who make an offer on the boat; it will also put you “ahead of” most of the boats on the market. It will also give you the opportunity to correct any deficiencies. Please, disclose to the broker any major damage that occurred to the boat in the past and the repairs completed.
RECORDS
If you have any maintenance records or documentation of major work done, provide these documents to the broker. Make sure you have all ownership papers in order and give copies to the broker, as well as copies of work performed by the marina. If there is a loan provide the name of the bank and an approximate payoff.

UNPRECEDENTED
LEVEL OF VISIBILITY
Campisano Marine is a marketing machine simply because we can be. We differentiate ourselves simply with our multi-million dollar marketing budget. No one advertises as much and as frequently as we do. For our customers, this means an unprecedented level of visibility by putting your yacht in front of boaters all over the world.
OUR NETWORK OF WEBSITES
Every yacht broker is on YachtWorld.com, but not every brokerage has the ability to advertise the way we do. Every brokerage listing on YachtWorld is a "premier listing" which means that it gets larger photos, a larger placement on the search results page, and exponentially more people clicking on your ad.
Every boat listed with us goes into the YachtWorld MLS system, which means your vessel will not only display on YachtWorld, but every other major brokerage company website in America.

COMING TO AN INBOX OR MAILBOX NEAR YOU
Campisano regularly sends email and direct mail to customers and prospects to promote our yachts. Our brokers send letters, postcards, flyers, email, and other creative mailers to stand out, and to stay top-of-mind.
When a customer receives a handwritten letter in the mail, sees our ads in the magazines, opens an Campisano email on their phone, and then sees us online or at a boat show, there is a far greater opportunity for Campisano to earn their business and list their yacht.
