Show me another »How does someone become a yacht broker?? What do you need to know?? Besides alot about yachts.?
Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
Yacht brokers are salespersons. They aren't necessarily experts about yachts. They need some piloting skill if they do sea trials. They need knowledge of the brands and types of boats that are out there. They need knowledge of the registration procedures, etc. Contacts for surveys, and boat detailing, and moving, etc. They usually charge 10% of the sale price as a commission.
