When buying a yacht through Berthon International with offices in the USA, UK, Scandinavia, and Spain (and agents in Italy), American buyers can benefit from a seamless process that connects them to yachts in Europe, with the added convenience of keeping the deal under one company. By choosing Berthon USA, American buyers can enjoy the benefits of European yacht options while maintaining the ease and familiarity of working with a trusted American yacht brokerage.
Berthon is a well-established yacht brokerage, making it easier for American buyers to access yachts located in Europe with benefits such as:
Connecting American Buyers to European Yachts: Berthon USA works in partnership with Berthon UK to offer American buyers access to yachts in Europe. Berthon’s network allows you to view yachts across various locations in Europe, while still working with a company that understands American buyer needs and preferences.
Use of YBAA Contracts: One of the key advantages of buying a yacht through Berthon USA is the use of YBAA (Yacht Brokers Association of America) contracts. These contracts are standard in the U.S. yacht brokerage industry and offer significant legal protections and familiar terms for American buyers. The YBAA contracts are recognized and widely accepted, offering a structure that includes provisions for: Purchase Agreement: Clearly outlines the terms of the sale. Escrow Procedures: Protects funds in a neutral account until the deal is finalized. Survey and Inspection Rights: Ensures the buyer’s right to inspect the yacht and ensure it meets their expectations before finalizing the deal. Title and Documentation: Ensures clear title transfer and documentation in accordance with U.S. regulations.
European Deal with American Legal Structure: Berthon USA can facilitate the purchase of a yacht from Europe, ensuring that the sale follows U.S. legal procedures and terminology. This helps mitigate any concerns that an American buyer might have when dealing with an international transaction. By utilizing familiar YBAA contracts, American buyers can navigate European purchases with confidence, ensuring the deal remains under one consistent legal framework.
Hassle-Free Process: Using Berthon USA as the primary point of contact means American buyers have a dedicated broker who speaks their language, understands U.S. market standards, and can guide them through the complexities of purchasing a yacht overseas. This also ensures that the American buyer will have the same legal protections as they would with a yacht purchase in the U.S.
Finalizing the Purchase: After choosing the yacht, Berthon USA handles the paperwork and coordinates with Berthon UK or other European offices for finalizing the deal, including the transfer of funds, paperwork, and logistics for delivery if required. In some cases, the yacht can be delivered directly to the U.S. or to another destination of the buyer’s choice.
Key Benefits:
Familiar Contracts: Using YBAA contracts provides American buyers with the legal protection and structure they’re used to, making the process more transparent and reliable.
European Access with U.S. Standards: You get access to a wide range of European yachts while still being able to deal with professionals who understand U.S. regulations and procedures.
Streamlined Process: With Berthon USA acting as the central point for the purchase, you won’t need to manage communications and negotiations separately with European offices, making the process easier and less time-consuming.
