Buying
Why can't I buy direct from an owner?
If you know the answers to all these questions before buying a yacht, you may not require the services of a professional brokerage house:
Is the seller the owner?
Is the yacht properly registered?
Can I charter this yacht?
Is the yacht really in such good condition as she looks?
Is the price right for today's market?
How much tax do I have to pay?
Which flag should I sail under?
Where can I find suitable crew?
These are just some of the factors you need to take into account when buying a yacht. Fortunately, KULAC will have the majority of the answers before you even contact us.
We can also take care of personal choice issues such as flag registration and crew should you wish.
The Personal Approach
Buying a yacht is a major decision. As we have a limited number of listings, your KULACH broker will provide the dedicated service and advice needed to close the right deal for you. Yes, that means we'll have time to be there for the sea trials or survey, to check the contract thoroughly, to make arrangements on your behalf.
Not having to deal with five other yachts at the same time means our brokers take a personal approach, wherever your purchase may be located. We know you're too busy to spend vast amounts of time negotiating a price. Leave it to the experts, leave it to KULACH.
Surveys and Registration
Besides the highlightted areas above, surveys and registration are two of the most crucial. A successful purchase depends on appointing the right surveyor…The last thing you want is to find out later that your new yacht is not to the standard you expect. KULACH works with industry-leading surveyors who know their business.
You also need to be certain as to who actually owns the yacht. KULACH will check the register for you and ensure that there are no claims outstanding on your new yacht.
Extra Services
Thanks to our extensive network of contacts, KULACH can also provide a whole raft of ancillary services to smoothen the buying process. From finance and insurance, car hire to house rents, KULACH has the answer.

Selling
Let KULACH Sell Your Yacht!
Selling a yacht is a complex affair, involving many different issues and parties. Consider the following:
How do I know what a fair price is?
Where do I stand in relation to insurance and guarantees?
When should I take my name off the registration list?
How can I check the creditworthiness of potential buyers?
What are my rights regarding sea trials and surveys?
Is my yacht safely berthed?
And now rest assured that KULACH has the answers. Our market knowledge is the key to a successful sale.
The Price is Right
Partner with KULAC and you'll know the price you can realistically expect your yacht to realise, based upon a thorough analysis of current market conditions. Time is also a vital aspect…Yachts that spend too long on the market create a negative impression and can end up costing you money.
No Time Wasters
As well as getting the best possible price for your yacht, it is vital that you know our full attention is on the sale. We'll keep any time wasters at bay, sort out the serious prospects and select the appropriate people to view your yacht. Avoid the hassle, relax and let us use all our experience on your behalf.
Central Agents
Let's make no bones about it…We prefer to be the central agency for your yacht. Under a central listing agreement we can deploy all our resources for your benefit and ensure maximum exposure.
Open listings and direct contacts are also welcome - but the best approach is to contact us for a central agency position before making any decision!
Powerful Promotion
Because we focus on just a few special yachts at any given time, our advertising budget is never stretched. Full page ads are placed in all major publications and yachts are profiled at boat shows. Carefully targeted use is made of the KULACH database, which contains the names of thousands of potential buyers. And the value of personal contact can never be underestimated.
KULACH brokers are familiar faces for good reason!
