Sell My Boat

POP Yachts is a boat and yacht broker. Like a real estate agent, our job is to work with buyer and seller to facilitate a professional and safe transaction.

Purchasing a boat has its own process, defined by decades of tradition. While not all transactions are alike, knowing what the typical process is beforehand will help set proper expectations and ensure your transaction is smooth, fast and safe. 

LOCAL REPRESENTATION:

We want to meet you in person, get to know your vessel, take 100+ professional photos and a video. We're going to be with you every step of the way.

BRILLIANT MARKETING:

We post your boat advertisement on 166 websites, including Boatcrazy.com, UsedBoatYard.com, Boats.com, iBoats.com, BoatBuys.com, BoatQuest.com, and on and on and on.

SECURE & SAFE TRANSACTION:

We have a fully-staffed closing department to make sure showings and survey go smoothly. We process all funds safely through escrow and we handle all the paperwork.

Below are the steps to selling your boat the POP Yachts way:

Tell us about your boat.

At this point, we're not going to gather that much information. We just need to know some basics so we can be sure we are a good match to sell your boat. We can only advertise boats where we have a local representative who can come out to photograph your boat and get to know the features and equipment specific to your vessel. Also, we don't advertise boats that are complete and total projects or boats which are under a certain price threshold for their condition.

It's pretty simple actually — if your vessel is in our area and in decent condition or better, we want to advertise it! 

Sign Our Marketing Agreement

Our agreement is straight-forward and simple. It's quick reading at two pages but, if you're not in the mood to read, here are the highlights:

You can cancel any time for any reason.

You can sell your boat on your own, at any time, and we aren't owed anything.

We won't change the advertised price without your permission.

You don't have to accept any offer, other than a full price offer.

We receive a commission only if your boat sells to a buyer we procure through our marketing efforts.

We promise we're going to do our best to sell your boat. You can take that to the bank.

Provide proof of ownership and 1 recent photo.

We're almost there — promise! Before we can start advertising your vessel, we need a couple more things.

We're going to need to prove you own the vessel, or have the rights to sell it (if owned in the name of a business/entity). This means we need to see a copy of either a Registration, Title or US Coast Guard Document. If you have it handy, you can take a picture of it with your phone and email it in.

We need at least one photo, but more is useful too. this first photo allows us to find some buyers in our database we know are actively looking for your model boat and notify them right away. we don't send notifications without at least one photo. this helps build interest so when we do upoload our 100 or more photographs, we have prospective buyers already asking for and waiting to see the additional photos..

We're also going to validate your Hull Number and run a BoatHistoryReport.com report (a $34.95 value). Everything we do is always at no cost.

NOTE: If a trailer is included in the sale, we're going to need to have documentation on file for the trailer too. 

Professional Photo Shoot

At this point, your advertisement has been published with the photos you provided however it lacks any serious amount of detail. Don't worry — we will fix that. In the meantime, we're also going to start attracting interest with the advertisement in its preliminary state so that we have buyers ready as soon as our photos and full advertisement hits the web.

Your local representative should be contacting you within a day or two. Our local reps have very busy schedules and wide areas, so it can sometimes take a week or two before a convenient time can be scheduled. This of course depends on your area, as some areas are tightly packed with representatives and we can get out to you much more quickly.

We strive to take 100 photos or more and a video (when we can). Today's buyer wants to know anything and everything before committing their time or their family's time to travel to see a boat anywhere. This used to apply mainly to an out of town buyer but, these days, many buyers will want to study all 100 photos before driving only a few miles across town. Buyers have come to know POP as the "photo people" and we like to keep it that way! 

Approve Our Advertisement

We're going to send you a list, called a "Feature List". It will be in PDF form attached to an email. This list will contain all the equipment, electronics and boat features included with the sale, including everything from the GPS unit to the water skis (if they are included). It's important you sign off on this list, as this list will become an Appendix on the Purchase & Sale Agreement when we bring you a written offer from a buyer.

This same email will ask you to click a link where you will review a high-resolution screenshot of your current advertisement and sign off electronically that you believe the advertisement is true and correct to the best of your knowledge and that all items mentioned will be included in the sale. This entire process only takes a few minutes — you can do it from any computer or smart phone. 

The Marketing Machine

At POP, we truly are a MARKETING MACHINE. If we were forced to pick only one job that we were the best at, this is it. When it comes to advertising your boat, there is no better way than through POP Yachts.

We put the advertisement for your boat on 166 websites. Compared to the typical brokerage, we tower over the competition. You could say we're aggressive, but that might be an understatement. In more than 90% of cases, one of our advertisements for your vessel will be found on the first page of Google when searching by make/model/location within just 24 hours. That's scary good!

It's all about getting your boat in as many searches on as many websites as possible. 

Handling Inquiries

It's our job to talk to anyone and everyone who inquires about your boat. This means we respond to all the phone calls, emails and texts.

Believe it or not, working online leads is an art form. Qualifying a buyer correctly and quickly, while simultaneously putting off the lowballers and blocking the scammers isn't easy.

We've gotten pretty good at our jobs! Every day we process more than 262 unique buyer inquiries. Our current average response time is 78 minutes! 

Written Offer & Negotiation

We only accept offers from buyers in written form on a valid Purchase & Sales Agreement. Requiring a buyer to put their offer in writing and sign on the dotted line is a pretty sure way to verify the buyer means business. The worst thing we could do is notify you of an offer, only to have the buyer disappear and not return our calls. Requiring all offers to be in the form of a valid contract helps mitigate that from happening.

We handle all negotiations between yourself and the prospective buyer. This covers everything from the agreed upon price to the terms and conditions that you or the buyer may wish to see in the purchase contract.

About 1 in 3 written offers finalize into a completed transaction (currently 26.86%). So, from this point, there is still some work to ensure the transaction completes successfully and your boat gets sold. 

Inspection & Closing Process

During the inspection process, the buyer may request a personal inspection, mechanical survey, engine compression test, oil analysis and/or water trial. It's not as bad as it sounds. We coordinate everything from here to make sure a time is arranged that fits everyone's busy schedules.

At this point, just about 2 out of every 3 deals will turn into complete transactions (currently 54.57%).

According to our standard Purchase & Sales Agreement, the buyer pays for any inspection or surveys however, for liability reasons while you still own the vessel, we request you (seller) captain your vessel for any water trial or provide for a captain to be available.

We're almost done. If the prospective buyer likes what they see, they'll sign and return to us the Acceptance of Vessel document. If the buyer backs out after this point, they forfeit their deposit, so nearly 100% of deals proceed once this document has been signed. 

Delivery to Buyer

We're almost there! At this point, we would ask you to find any and all manuals, documentation, service records, and anything else you have regarding your vessel. Once you have these, please secure them somewhere inside the vessel for the new buyer.

Please gather all keys for the vessel (including any cabin keys) and hand them to the POP rep or to the new buyer directly. The buyer may alternatively send a ground shipper to pick up the vessel.

That's it — the sale is done! Are you ready to go shopping for your next one?

My experience with Pop Yachts was…

My experience with Pop Yachts was great! My associate Brandon was with me all the way, offering advice on my Boat description, pricing, and adjustments when necessary. The span of advertising is the key. They reach a very large market, and take ALL calls with offers and help to filter out the non- serious offers. Would use them again 👍

Reply from popsells.com

Thank you, Robert, for the terrific 5-star review! We are so glad that Brandon took great care of you while we found a buyer for your boat. We will be here if you are in the market to buy or sell a boat or RV, and we promise to make it as easy as possible. Thanks for choosing Pop!

Excellent Class A RV Buying Experience

I recently purchased a Class A motor home after a long search. Without seeking PopRVs out, I purchased it through them. I’m very pleased that I did. The rep, Sonny, was extremely helpful and patient with me and my specific desires. The Closing Advocate, Tracy, was SUPER. She was very congenial and professional and walked me through the process in a friendly manner. The listing agent, Raymond, went above and beyond what you get in today’s world of customer service. Everyone treated me with respect and kindness throughout the entire experience. I certainly recommend PopRVs.

Date of experience : October 09, 2023

Thank you for the outstanding review! We love hearing how helpful, professional and responsive our Pop Team is. We are truly grateful to have them support our customers as you've described. We appreciate you choosing Pop and wish you many great adventures in your new RV.

Impressive!

Pop RVs is an impressive resource for exploring the pre owned RV market. Wide variety of listings. Friendly people, good communication, helpful advice. Professional closing services. No fees up front. We want to replace camping with travel and are listing our 2018 travel trailer with Pop. We will then use them to buy a recent model class B or B+.

BEWARE This company will spam your inbox until no end. Even after opting out of their emails and multiple direct emails to be left alone the emails continue. Brian Elsner is wildly unprofessional and his sales tactics are not only harassing and unprofessional but illegal. There are way too many options out there to sell a boat and I would take my business elsewhere.

Date of experience : April 29, 2024

We are truly sorry to hear about your negative experience with our email communications and the interactions with your Consultant. Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience or frustration this has caused you. We take your feedback seriously, and it is certainly not our intention to spam or harass our customers in any way. Your experience does not align with the standards of professionalism and respect that we strive to uphold. Unfortunately, we can not find any record of you under the name that you left us negative reviews under. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your concerns further and to make things right, please contact [email protected] with more information so we can adequately address your concerns and work towards a resolution.

Excellent service from everyone at Popsells.

Excellent service from everyone I dealt with at Popsells. They kept me informed throughout the process and answered every question in a very timely manor. Andi was great at closing and I had all my documents sooner than expected. Great job from everyone at Popsells.

Thank you for the terrific review, Christopher. We are so glad that you had a great experience with Pop and our team. We wish you many great adventures in your new RV - she's a real beauty!!

Very Pleasant Experience

Pop RV -We worked with Trey Ricard & Bob Reilly (local agent) to try to sell our class B 2015 Roadtrek CS Adventurous. They were both very prompt and efficient in replying to our calls, emails & texts. We found a buyer (our neighbor) before they could produce a buyer. However, we were very pleased with the service and would highly recommend Pop RV if you need to sell your vehicle, whatever it may be.

Date of experience : February 13, 2023

Thank you for sharing your experience with Pop RVs and for considering us for selling your 2015 Roadtrek CS Adventurous. We are glad to hear that Trey and Bob provided prompt and efficient communication and service throughout the process, even though you found a buyer on your own. We appreciate your recommendation and hope you will keep us in mind for any future RV needs.

Highly recommend

Popsells did an incredible job for me. From beginning to end, they kept me informed every step of the way. The first buyer they brought me purchased my boat, and the closing process was seamless and very fast. My representative, Steve Sotelo, was knowledgeable, prompt, and overall an awesome guy.

Date of experience : October 18, 2023

Thanks for the outstanding review, Jonathon! We are so glad to hear that we were able to quickly find a buyer for your boat and the Pop Team made closing seamless and fast. We hope to have the pleasure of working with you again in the future.

Put my mind at ease

I was nervous about purchasing a used RV from out of state! The staff at Pop RV helped put my mind at ease throughout the process by being quick to respond, providing detailed responses to my questions, carefully walking me through the process, and keeping me advised of progress toward release of title after closing. Well worth the closing fee to work with people who are knowledgeable and helpful. Big thanks to Brandon, Tracy, and Shane!

Bought a 2010 Andros Bonefish 22

Bought a 2010 Andros Bonefish 22. Pop Yachts Reps (Cindy, Hannah, and Mike) were all OUTSTANDING as well as Rock Solid Funding for financing. If your looking for a boat I’d highly Recommend them, they made the process as seamless as possible and responded within minutes if I had a question of concern. Do yourself a favor and use Pop Yachts for your boat purchases, I will definitely use them again if I buy another boat in the future.

Hanna Banana earns POP 9.5 stars

Pop is the greatest platform I’ve ever experienced is selling a unit, I had been trying for 6 months on my own with not much action. 2 days after listing I received a offer for $4000 more than what I was trying to get. Roy my personal representative was to my place with in days to make video and take pictures ( all at pops expense) showing it very well. My heart and greatest appreciation goes to “Hanna Banana “for her tireless dedication and ability to handle a very complex closing over the weekend. She started @ 5 stars and by time everything was finished I moved her up to 9.5 ( I’m a communist judge and never give 10.0) . She is a true professional and reflects the dedication that POP has for clients, they should be proud to have her on board

WOW, Joseph, thank you for this outstanding review! We are so glad that we were able to sell your RV for more than you wanted within 2 days. We especially love hearing the praises of our Pop Team.

I contacted Paul Albert to sell our xpress skiff. He immediately got back to us and came by the next morning to take pictures, videos, and make an amazing advertisement. He was professional, and the communication was 5 star! I would highly recommend Paul at Pop Yachts for any buying or selling of boats. Thanks again!

Thanks, Jami! It was our pleasure assisting with your skiff, and we appreciate the recommendation for Paul. All the best in your next adventures!

The appointment to view the RV was made quickly and we are able to conclude our business within one day. The RV offered was an excellent condition which was also reflected in the advertisement. The consultants for getting the RV financed registered and in my possession, we're all very professional and extremely competent. The whole process was finished within 7 days over the Christmas holidays which I thought was next to impossible. Thank you very much I will recommend you in the future. Marty Novinski

From beginning to end POP RVs has been exceptional with communicating to me the selling status of my RV. I've spoken with their various departments from coast-to-coast and have never even had one dropped call. We have employed PDF's, phone messages, phone calls, emails, and electronic signatures; all without a single hiccup. I've haven't met one employee in person. To me that's pretty amazing and shows the versatility and knowledge they've created in their marketing program. I'm very impressed and I have a degree in Advertising and Marketing. I would use POP RVs in the future - without question. Randy V.

Date of experience : July 12, 2022

Fantastic! It was our pleasure to introduce your Sightseer to that just-right buyer. Your kind words about our professional team and processes capture exactly what we strive to do every single day. Thanks, and all the best in your next adventures.

Perfect transaction!

If you're the seller of a moderate-to-high-end vessel, the challenge is getting your vessel in front of the right buyer (who most often will not be anywhere near your market). POP Yachts is UNIQUELY built to do just this. Seamless process, professional and courteous staff, and in my case a full $10K more than I could get in my geographic area. WIN/WIN. Worth every dime.

Date of experience : August 03, 2022

Fantastic! It was our pleasure to assist with your beautiful, high-performance Eliminator. We appreciate the kudos for our marketing services and professional team. All the best in your next adventures!

Our experience with using PopRV as our broker in the recent RV purchase was excellent. They truly did not miss a detail and the level of communication was high. Each touch point and each staff person did a really good job and that made much less work and aggravation for us. It is the first time we've had a fully enjoyable purchase of this nature with no frustration.

Date of experience : November 01, 2022

Thanks, Barbara! It's been our pleasure to assist with the Flagstaff, and we sincerely appreciate the kudos for our team and our processes. All the best in your new adventures!

We sold our vintage Airstream with POP RV and the experience was great. They work diligently to get a fair deal done for the buyers and sellers. The communication was top notch from start to finish. We had tried several different avenues on our own to sell it but POP was definitely our best route. The entire team is absolutely awesome to work with especially Christine, Rome and Abe. They take all the worry out securing the funds and the paperwork. We couldn’t be happier with the entire process. We definitely will use POP again either buying or selling. Thank y’all so much for a fantastic experience!!!

Date of experience : July 15, 2022

Excellent! Our professional team strives for 100% satisfaction. It was our pleasure to help you find the right buyer for your classic Airstream. All the best in your next adventures!

A great, safe way to sell our motorhome

Just a short note to say a big thank you to each and everyone on the PopSell RV team who have worked directly or indirectly in bringing the sale of our Bay Star to a satisfying conclusion. Needless to say, we initially were more than a little anxious about the whole sale process. PopSell’s professionalism and swift teamwork were impressive and reassuring. A special thanks to our local rep, Tom, for his help in chasing prospective buyers and skills in securing a successful outcome. It was a pleasure to do business with all of you. Keep up the good work and thanks again for helping us move on to our next adventure.
