What is your
yacht worth today?

Jon provides a no-obligation market valuation based on current comparable sales, active listings, buyer demand in your segment, and the specific condition of your vessel. This is not an automated estimate — Jon does this personally.

Jon evaluates your vessel against the current market using multiple data points — not just a single database query.

  • Recent comparable sales in your size and brand category
  • Active competing listings and their time on market
  • Engine hours, condition, and recent upgrades
  • Current buyer demand and seasonal factors
  • Broker-to-broker intelligence from the OWYG network

An overpriced listing sits. Jon's valuations are designed to get your vessel sold — not just listed.

None. The valuation is completely free, and there is zero obligation to list with Jon afterward. He provides it because an informed seller makes a better client — and because it's the right way to start the conversation.

No upfront fees. No listing fee until the vessel sells. Jon's compensation comes at closing.

Jon typically responds with an initial market assessment within 24–48 hours of receiving your vessel details. For vessels he needs to inspect in person, he'll schedule a convenient time around your schedule.

Average Timeline
Most vessels in Jon's listings sell within 60–120 days. Premium, well-priced vessels in active market segments often close faster. Overpriced listings take much longer — which is why accurate pricing matters from day one.

Florida yacht market —
current conditions.

The South Florida and Palm Beach yacht market remains one of the most active in the country. Here's what the numbers look like right now for the segments Jon specializes in.

47–90
Days on Market (active segment, 40–70ft)
Well-priced vessels in the 40–70ft range are moving in under 90 days in the current South Florida market. Overpriced listings average 180+ days.
94%
Average Sale Price vs. List Price
Accurately priced listings in Jon's segment typically close at 92–96% of asking price. The gap widens significantly for overpriced vessels.
12%
Qualified Buyer Activity YoY
Active buyer inquiries in the luxury segment are up year-over-year in South Florida, driven by continued migration to the region and lifestyle demand.
Segments Moving Fastest
  • 45–55ft Sport YachtsHigh demand
  • Center Consoles 35–45ftHigh demand
  • Motor Yachts 55–75ftActive
  • Trawlers / Cruisers 30–40ftActive
  • Superyachts 80ft+Selective
What's Slowing Sales Down
  • Overpriced against current comps
  • Poor or insufficient photography
  • Deferred maintenance visible at showing
  • Limited broker network exposure
  • Incomplete or outdated service records

Jon's take: The South Florida market continues to reward well-prepared, accurately-priced listings with strong buyer activity. The biggest mistake sellers make is pricing aspirationally and then chasing the market down with reductions — which signals weakness to buyers and results in a lower final sale price than if it had been priced correctly from day one.
