Sell your yacht with Rayan
Your yacht filmed properly, documented honestly, and put in front of an audience that already knows boats.
A yacht does not sell because it is listed. It sells because the right buyers see it, understand it, and trust what they are being told about it.
What is covered
A sales mandate: the boat filmed, documented, and put in front of buyers
Valuation before anything else
What comparable boats actually sold for recently, not what they are advertised at. If the price you have in mind is out of reach, you hear it in the first conversation.
A proper video tour
Filmed on board, the whole boat, in the format that built an audience of close to two million people. Engine room included: hiding it raises more questions than showing it.
Photography and a complete file
Real specifications, maintenance history, inventory, engine hours. A file that answers questions before they are asked takes weeks off a sale.
Exposure where the buyers are
The tour on YouTube and Instagram, the listing on this site, and the boat taken directly to brokers who have buyers on that model.
Enquiries filtered
You are not called by curious people. Viewings are arranged with buyers who are in a position to buy, and your time is treated as the scarce resource.
Negotiation and closing
Offers, survey conditions, memorandum of agreement, escrow, transfer of title and delivery, handled to the end.
How it works
From valuation to transfer of title
Valuation and decision
A realistic price range, and what could be done to reach the top of it. Nothing is signed at this stage.
Mandate
Duration, asking price, commission, and what I commit to producing. All of it in writing.
Preparation
The boat cleaned, cleared and, where it pays for itself, lightly worked on. A day of preparation is usually worth more than a price cut.
Filming and file
One to two days on board. Video, photography and the complete file, ready within about two weeks.
Publication
Tour published, listing live, and a direct approach to brokers who have buyers on the model.
Sale
Filtered viewings, offer, survey, closing. You are told where things stand every week, whether or not there is news.
What it costs
Paid on the result, not on the mandate
- Commission
- A percentage of the final sale price, agreed in the mandate before anything is filmed or published.
- If the boat does not sell
- Nothing is owed. The filming, the photography and the publication are at my cost, and stay at my cost.
- Preparation and works
- Quoted by the providers and paid by you, and only after you have approved the quotation.
Berthing, insurance and upkeep stay with the owner while the boat is for sale, as they would with any broker.
What is not included
What no broker can promise you
- A guaranteed price, or a guaranteed date. Anyone who promises either is guessing, and the guess is at your expense.
- Repair and refit work. I organise it and supervise it, I do not carry it out, and I take no margin on it.
- Running costs while the boat is listed: berth, insurance, crew, upkeep.
- Tax and VAT advice on the sale, which is a matter for your accountant.
- Chartering the boat while it is for sale, which is a separate service and a separate contract.
Why go through Rayan
Two reasons, and both are measurable
Your boat seen by people who know boats
A video tour is watched to the end by an audience that follows yachts every week. A classified listing is scrolled past. That difference is the entire argument.
An honest listing sells faster
Showing the engine room, stating the hours, naming what needs doing: it costs a few enquiries and gains the serious ones. Buyers arrive convinced instead of arriving suspicious.

- Hundreds of yachts visited and presented on camera.
- An international clientele, in French and in English.
- Tens of millions of euros in closed deals.
Frequent questions
Questions owners ask before signing a mandate
No. Some owners ask for discretion, and the boat is then shown only to identified buyers, with no public listing. Say so at the start and the mandate is written that way.
A correctly priced boat in good condition usually finds a buyer within three to six months. An overpriced boat can sit for years, and the market remembers how long it has been listed.
I do. It is part of the mandate, and it is not invoiced to you if the boat does not sell.
Yes. Viewings are arranged around your programme, and a boat that is used and maintained always shows better than one sitting idle.
Yes, on a co-brokerage basis. A buyer introduced by another broker is still a buyer; the commission is shared and it costs you nothing extra.
Once the existing mandate has expired or been ended properly. I do not approach boats that are under mandate elsewhere.
Thinking of selling?
Send me the boat and the price you have in mind. You get a realistic valuation, and no pressure to sign anything.
