2000/2012 Novatec 80 Supernova- Incredible Value for a Pre-Owned Yacht

In my line of work I get used to dealing with yacht models that are made in higher production numbers that many people in the yachting business have seen and are familiar with...brands like Hatteras, Marlow , Lazzara, Ocean Alexander, Horizon, etc.  All are good yachts, but there are also other manufacturers out there that are as good or better quality, they may just not be as commonly known...Novatec is a yacht brand that I would put in that category...and they are still in business manufacturing yachts. When I was approached about listing the "DREAMCHASER" a Novatec 80 Supernova for sale I was instantly curious.  I had heard of Novatec before but knew very little other than it was a line of yachts built in Taiwan...akin to Horizon and Ocean Alexander.  The more I dug into the yacht … [Read more...]

Preparing Your Yacht For Sale- How to Maximize Value and Minimize Time on Market

I hope that this article will give it’s readers a clear action plan to get their yacht ready for sale.  With the classic adage “Begin with the End in Mind” the end goal is to get the yacht sold as quickly as possible for the most money possible.  Below is how I best know to make that happen with my 11 years of experience selling yachts.   Compile all Service Records Assemble any and all service records you have into an organized and easy to digest format chronologically.  If you have not been keeping the records yourself speak with your yacht service personnel and have them send to you. This is one of the most overlooked aspects when selling, but it goes so far in making a buyer feel comfortable with the purchase he is making.  Saying “I serviced the engines about a year ago, … [Read more...]

Selling a Classic Yacht

Tom George and I were approached a little while back by a long time friend of the family who had a client with a special situation. Bottom line there was a classic 1983 55' Rybovich that needed to be sold quickly, cost effectively and to bring the absolute top value possible. The first thing I did was go take a look at her at the Palm Beach Yacht Club. She was in pretty good shape overall but had definitely suffered from a bit of neglect over the past year and needed a little TLC. PEDIGREE One really great aspect of the yacht is that she was a Rybovich, which is an extremely well known and respected builder of yachts for many years. Additionally she had received a massive refit/re-power in 2014 from Michael Rybovich and Sons in Palm Beach to the tune of $1.3M...or so I … [Read more...]

Hatteras GT45x Bridge

Since it's introduction in 2015, the Hatteras GT45x (formerly 45 Express) has been wildly popular, with 26 of them in the water and more on the production line.  Despite competitors attempts to imitate her success, she has remained the top dog in the 40's size express yacht category.  This has been due to her incredible ride and handling characteristics as well as the renowned Hatteras build quality and fit and finish. To add another level (literally!) to this yacht's success, Hatteras is now producing a flybridge option for the GT45x, the GT45x Bridge. The main helm deck is relatively unchanged with a fully equipped command station, but there is now a flybridge on top that offers 2 helm chairs, helm station and additional seating that would allow up to 6 people to sit up top … [Read more...]
