Why Work With a Third-Party Broker?
Selling a boat is a complicated process. Whether it’s scheduling test drives or getting all of the advertising work done, it can be frustrating to sell your boat on your own. When you bring HBG Yacht Sales into the process, we take care of everything for you so that you can be hands-off where it matters.
HBG Yacht Sales is committed to:
- Providing a market value for your yacht which will generate the most prospective buyers.
- Providing national and international exposure of your yacht to prospective buyers through online marketing, marina advertising, social media, and mass email marketing.
- Providing all closing documentation for a simple, convenient, and secure transaction.
- Coordinating surveys, inspections, service, financing, and transportation for a complete yacht brokerage service.
Not only do we take care of all of the larger ticket items in the process of selling your boat, but we also understand that every boat is different — requiring different exposure and selling techniques. Each broker will work with you directly to customize our plan and attempt to meet your goals in the selling of your boat.
Your Broker will assist you through the process of selling your boat from listing to closing:
- Provide a Market Analysis to determine an accurate value for your vessel through researching boats currently on the market and boats sold over the last year.
- Create a listing with detailed descriptions of your vessel and professional, high-resolution photographs.
- Get regular marketing reports back to you on the sales/marketing activities on your vessel.
- Assist in the negotiations with potential buyers.
- Facilitate the survey and sea trial to show a potential buyer the reliability and functionality of your boat.
- Closing documents — so that you don’t have to worry about paperwork.
Trustworthy Brokers – With years of experience, our brokers have learned from selling boats for hundreds of customers. With factory education and dozens of boats in our current registry, you can trust our brokers to take great care of your boat and your wallet.
Financing and Insurance Offered – While we are a boat brokerage service, we also offer financing and insurance options to allow buyers the most opportunity to find the boat of their dreams, which might just be yours.
Trusted by Owners and Buyers – Selling a boat goes in two directions, meaning we need to be trusted by both owners and buyers to succeed in providing for both. If you are curious about the reliability of BHG Yacht Sales, read some of our testimonials!

Whether you are trying to off-board a whaler or a weekend yacht, we understand the ins and outs of a wide variety of watercraft which aids us in our business. If you decide to work with us and let us help you sell your boat, we understand the specs, features, and unique aspects of many different kinds of watercraft. You can trust that we will accurately and reliably advertise and sell your boat for the highest price possible.
Keeping You Hands-Off
Whether it’s a fishing boat or a yacht, a boat in good aesthetic condition will always sell more effectively than one that appears run-down or messy. At HBG, we are committed to helping your boat sell, which means keeping it in great condition while it’s under our care so that you don’t have to worry about a thing. Don’t want to worry about planning out test drives or reliability tests? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

If you are looking for a brokerage service to help you sell your boat with minimal effort on your part, reach out to HBG!
Maintenance Services
When you work with HBG, we offer several repair and maintenance services to make sure your boat is in the best shape possible. Keeping your boat clean and in good mechanical condition is vital when showing your boat to potential buyers. When your boat first comes to us, we may perform a mechanical evaluation to find weak points or potential problems with the functionality of your watercraft. Depending on what we find, we are able to repair or replace any parts that may need maintenance.
You can also come to us with problems that you know exist and we can work on them for you! Whether it’s transmission problems, simple preventative maintenance, or lakeside service, our incredible staff is ready to provide your boat with the work it needs to ride smoothly on the water. We perform this maintenance for two big reasons: it helps our clients to know that we are taking care of their boat for them, and it helps potential buyers to know they are getting a boat that works and looks great. If you are looking for a full-service broker to help you sell your boat, HBG is your go-to boat broker in Knoxville.
No matter your boat selling needs, we are your first choice as a boat broker in Knoxville. From the initial onboarding process to the final test drive and finalizing paperwork, we’ve got the whole process covered so you don’t have to worry about a thing! Whether you’ve got a Sea Ray or a whaler, we have the knowledge and experience necessary to sell your boat for the highest price in the most efficient way possible.
