Proper Handover of a Newly Sold Boat

YBAA is excited to partner with yachtbroker.org to present the YBAA Member Listing Service (MLS), an association-owned and controlled tool to help buyers find and show for new and used boats, vessels, and yachts. The MLS allows yacht brokers access to view cooperative broker listings with the goal of connecting buyers to sellers through a professional yacht broker.
