Why Use Chandlery Yacht Sales?

Experience helps Sell a Boat

Experience matters when you sell high-valued items like yachts, homes, and other investments. Chandlery Yacht Sales brings three generations of Santa Barbara yachting experience to the table.

Not only have we owned and operated Chandlery Yacht Sales for many years, but we are also intricately involved in the Santa Barbara boating life.

• We co-founded the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum.
• We are active members of the Santa Barbara Yacht Club.
• We have sailed in regattas across the country and beyond.
• We are honored to sponsor many yachting events.
• We teach boating classes to keep current on the industry we love.

Our knowledge of both sail and powerboats is unmatched on the Central Coast. Experience matters and the Chandlery Yacht Sales has it.

Marketing is a key factor when you want to sell a yacht.

Marketing connections and skill are paramount to selling your yacht for the highest price possible. Our brokers will give you expert pricing advice, and our marketing tools will enable us to reach more buyers. Also, our longevity and broad industry involvement mean we are keenly aware of many buyers who are “in the hunt” for a boat.

We use online as well as print marketing. There are no up-front costs. We don’t get paid until you get paid.

We support you through the boat sales process.

Your time is valuable and handling the many details involved in selling a yacht is work we love. The Chandlery is a full-service brokerage with in-house operations that handle the details for you:
