Geographic and Demographic Marketing Program
“Will my boat be advertised Nationwide and World Wide?” Yes, the truth is most of the larger, well-known brokerage companies utilize many of the same mediums of advertising. The difference in brokers is not founded in where they advertise. The ad content including the description, photos and or videos determines whether a prospective buyer contacts the selling agency.  How well is the ad written? How professional and detailed are the photographs? Does the video contain information not normally found in other broker ads? Does the Broker representing the listing have the experience and knowledge required to describe your boat to a prospective buyer in a manner which peaks the buyer’s interest? Marine Group utilizes the latest and most popular industry websites for online advertising including, but not limited to Yachtworld, Boat Trader, Yacht Council, Boats.Com, Usedboats.com, and of course MarineGroupEC.com. Generally, you can expect the ad to be shown on 8-10 websites at all times. The quality of the ad and of the sites it is listed on is what matters. Your boat will be seen on all the top websites! We also maintain a presence in “Marlin” and “In The Bite” magazines as well as various other specialty publications as deemed beneficial for any particular vessel. We also participate in a number of regional boat shows and are generally among the top three brokers at any given show.

Does Marine Group offer full brokerage services including escrow and full closing services?
Yes. We will handle all aspects of the showing and sale including: initial information gathering in order to properly represent the vessel, meeting potential Buyers to show and explain all the features of the vessel, preparing offers, determining value for Buyers and Sellers, negotiating the offer, accepting escrow deposits, verification of clear and transferable title, preparing full and detailed closing documentation for Buyer and Seller, assisting Buyer with financing and insurance, delivery of the boat whether local or out of State or Country.
