Meet the poole and portland team, dean overton.

I met the best broker one could wish.  You were not lazy, you were not bad informed, you didn’t try to sell yachts you sold already or that were also advertised by others, your ego was not more important than the sale, you were not dishonest about the quality of the yacht. Thank you for your cooperation.

Dear Christian – We cant thank you enough for all the effort in making the deal happen when we purchased our Fairline from you. We are enjoying the boat immensly and we will certainly be in touch when we look to change again.

To all the team at Moore Yachts – Just a quick not to thank you for selling our Sunseeker Superhawk 34. We were really impressed with the knowledge and proffesional approach provided by your company and ability to get the deal completed when we hit some wobbles! Thank you again and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

Christian and the team at Moore Yachts – We just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for all your help when we recently purchased our Princess V65 from you. We had look at many boats and it wasnt until we came accross your example that we fealt comfortable that the boat was presented well and all was in order with the paperwork and VAT status, which was very important to us. Thank you again and we will definately be in touch when we are looking to sell again.

Dear Mr Moore – Now that the dust has settled, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your determination, good humour and efforts to help us buy the Sunseeker 82 in the South of France. We all went through the mill a few times on this deal but I genuinely don’t believe we would have got through the whole transaction without your help. We were very happy with everything you did for us and would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone looking to sell their boat. The boat is now safely back with us and the family are really enjoying her. Thanks again for all your help and recommendations. 

Thank you Christian for the excellent job you did selling my Princess motorboat. I appreciated the time you spent getting the photos and video right and showing potential buyers over that boat. I was glad the selling, negotiating and documentation were in your hands given the experience needed and the time it takes. I got the asking price I was looking for and felt your fees were a fair reflection of the work you did. When I next buy or sell a boat I will give you another call. Best wishes for the rest of the boating season. Kevin.

We bought our (new to us) boat from the team at Clipper in Swanwick. Ben and Steve couldn’t have been more helpful and thorough if they had tried. All the jobs identified on survey were done to a great standard and at a fair price. We took delivery of her yesterday, 2 days early, so have the weekend to get used to her and move our belongings on ready to sail away. Fantastic service from start to finish, this is our 8th boat and I cant recommend the team highly enough!!!

Well done Clipper and thanks again to Ben and Steve for making it so easy!

I have been dealing with Ben from Clipper Marine for several years and I must say I have never been disappointed with the results he brings. I placed a boat on the market with him recently and it was sold within a week with no input from myself, I thank you very much for this Ben. 100 % Satisfaction guaranteed

I have Just bought a Bavaria moored in Mallorca through Ben at Clipper Marine. Ben was very professional, helpful, friendly and made the whole process smooth. Big thank you to Clipper Marine. I thoroughly recommend them.

We have had a very positive experience selling our boat through Steve Gunn at Clipper Marine. He was calm, efficient and thoroughly professional. We’re very pleased with the outcome.

11 years after purchasing our Bavaria Cruiser 40 from Steve at Clipper we returned to sell her. Steve was extremely helpful, offered great advice and helped us sell our boat for an excellent price in a swift and stress free process. Can’t rate the service highly enough and would definitely recommend using Clipper Marine for your brokerage needs.

Really nice experience. The team at Clipper were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend them.

She is a beautiful boat, is now on her maiden cruise around Ireland and is admired by all. I can recommend all the Team at Clipper Marine as utterly professional, trustworthy and conscientious. There have been a number of snag issues which one expects with a new boat but James in Clipper has looked after each and every issue.

Have just sold our 2014 Bavaria 41 ‘Indulgence’ through clipper marine. Special thanks to Steve Gunn who handled the whole process effortlessly and professionally. Would recommend clipper marine to any prospective seller!

Business | south florida yacht brokers hit with lawsuits that claim 10% commissions violate antitrust laws.

Yachts are among the vessels seen on display in this 2019 file photo in Palm Beach County. Two new lawsuits, filed in 2024, aim to upend years-old ways of awarding commissions to brokers representing boat sellers and buyers. (South Florida Sun Sentinel file photo)

Two newly filed federal lawsuits claim that 10% sales commissions required by South Florida’s yacht broker industry are anticompetitive and violate antitrust laws.

The claims follow an October finding by a federal jury in Kansas City, Missouri, that the National Association of Realtors conspired with brokers to artificially inflate commissions paid to real estate brokers. The ruling, and a March 15 settlement by the Realtors, is expected to radically change how homes are sold in the United States.

Both lawsuits involving yacht brokers name as defendants the International Yacht Brokers Association, based in Fort Lauderdale, the Yacht Brokers Association of America, Boats Group LLC and YATCO LLC.

Also listed as defendants in both suits are a who’s who of South Florida-based yacht brokers, including Denison Yacht Sales, MarineMax Inc., Galati Yacht Sales Inc., Allied Marine Inc., Tournament Yacht Sales LLC and Northrop & Johnson Yacht Ships, among others.

Nearly all of the defendants are headquartered in South Florida.

The most recent suit, filed on March 22, proposes a class of plaintiffs that includes anyone who listed vessels on certain Multiple Listing Services using a listing agent or broker affiliated with one of the defendants and paid a buyer’s broker commission since March 22, 2020.

The lead plaintiff in the lawsuit is Kip Lamar Snell, identified as an Alabama resident. Snell entered into an agreement with Galati to sell a 41-foot Express Cruiser Sea Ray in July 2020 and ended up paying a $12,000 commission on the $120,000 sale price, the suit states. The lawsuit lists as defendants 15 brokers and six organizations that promote the yacht trade or operate Multiple Listing Services.

That lawsuit follows one filed on Feb. 29 that proposes a class of plaintiffs that includes anyone who paid a commission to a listing broker affiliated with the defendants since Feb. 19, 2020. It lists as defendants 11 brokers and five organizations that promote the yacht trade or operate Multiple Listing Services.

The lead plaintiff in that suit is Ya Mon Expeditions, a Wyoming company that paid a “substantial broker commission” when it sold a vessel in January 2023 while represented by Tournament Yacht Sales of Tequesta.

The most recent complaint accuses the trade associations of colluding with brokers to “enforce an anticompetitive restraint that requires (sellers of pre-owned yachts and boats) to pay a brokerage fee to the buyer’s broker and a total aggregate commission fee that is inflated as a condition for selling their yachts.”

The complaint states the typical commission is 10% and is shared between the seller’s broker and the buyer’s broker under terms spelled out in Central Listing Agreements provided by the brokers associations, including the International Yacht Brokers Association and the Yacht Brokers Association of America.

Only boat brokers are able to list boats and yachts on such Multiple Listing Services as YachtWorld.com, BoatTrader.com and Boats.com, and the Multiple Listing Services will not accept listings from owners who want to sell their vessels themselves, the lawsuit states.

Yacht owners are “severely disadvantaged” if they do not list their boats for sale on the listing services, while buyers suffer because their brokers are “financially incentivized” to show boats that will earn them standard “and inflated” commission rates of 4% to 5% through co-brokerage transactions, the complaint states.

None of the defendants contacted for this story responded to a request for comment, and no response has been filed yet in either case.

Robert Allen Jr., whose Miami-based law firm Robert Allen Law represents the International Yacht Brokers Association, did not respond to emails or return a phone call.

A woman who answered the phone at the International Yacht Brokers Association said, “We have no comment on that,” and hung up after a reporter asked for her name.

Of six brokers contacted for comment about the lawsuits, only Tournament Yacht Sales responded to emails. “No comment,” the company’s response stated.

Overall commissions have increased faster than the rate of inflation in recent years as the price of larger boats and yachts have increased, according to the lawsuit that lists Snell as lead plaintiff.

The result is that boat owners pay “hundreds of millions of dollars” in inflated commissions each year, the suit alleges.

Both lawsuits allege violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act that are upheld by “brokers who should be competing with one another but, instead, cooperate with each other to the detriment of pre-owned boat sellers.”

Some brokerages represent both buyers and sellers and retain the entire 10% commissions, the suits state.

The trade associations enforce rules requiring brokers to offer their boats through a listing service and to share commissions, the suits state, adding that they can impose significant penalties on members who do not comply with their rules.

Yacht purchasers are disadvantaged by the current system, the lawsuit alleges, because their agents would otherwise negotiate for their business by decreasing their commission rates.

But buyer brokers’ commissions have remained constant despite their diminishing role, the suits state. Many buyers today find boats they are interested in purchasing through online searches and enlist the services of a buyer’s broker only after identifying the yacht they want to buy, the suits claim.

The lawsuits seek an order declaring the commission structure to be illegal, a permanent injunction outlawing what they describe as anticompetitive conduct, plus damages and/or restitution, pre- and post-judgment interest, and attorneys’ fees.

Paul Geller, an attorney for one of two law firms representing the class that includes Snell, acknowledged “parallels between the allegations relating to commissions in the real estate and yacht markets.”

In the real estate matter, the National Association of Realtors on March 15 agreed to a $418 million proposed settlement that would free home sellers from paying commissions to brokers for both sellers and buyers.

After a jury ruled for the plaintiffs in the case against the National Association of Realtors in October, numerous lawsuits were filed across the country with similar allegations, including one in December against the Florida Association of Realtors and 16 brokerages.

“At bottom, the goals of (the suit against the yacht brokers) are similar: protecting consumers by challenging what we allege to be anti-competitive conduct,” Geller said by email. “We believe in the universal truth that consumers benefit by increased transparency and the competitive pricing that results from negotiated terms, including commissions.”

Geller is a partner at Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, which specializes in securities litigation on behalf of investors. The firm has offices in 10 cities, including Boca Raton.
