Getting Your Yacht Ready to Sell (Part 2): Detailing, Maintenance & Survey Prep
In Part 2 of our “Getting Your Yacht Ready to Sell” series, we go beyond the basics and dive into the details that can make—or break—a boat sale.
We’re joined by Natalie Yuse of Deckhand Detailing and Max French of Pacific Coast Yachting Services to talk about what buyers really notice, the red flags that scare them away, and where owners should invest time and money before listing their boat.
From detailing and deep interior cleaning to engine room presentation, deferred maintenance, service records, survey prep, gelcoat repair, paint touch-ups, ceramic coatings, and even owner-performed maintenance, we cover the practical steps that help a boat show better, survey cleaner, and ultimately sell faster.
If you’re thinking about selling your yacht—or just want to understand what separates a “well-loved” boat from a “well-maintained” one—this episode is packed with real-world advice from the pros who see it every day.
Combine this episode with Part 1 featuring Nigel Barron and Paul Zimmer, and you’ll have a pretty solid float plan for getting your yacht ready to sell with fewer surprises and a better understanding of what buyers, brokers, and service pros are really looking for.
