About us

An island brokerage with the world on its horizon

From our office on Sand Island, Honolulu Yacht Brokerage represents sailing yachts, trawlers, sportfishers and cruisers across the Hawaiian Islands.

Boats are different out here

Buying or selling a yacht in the middle of the Pacific has its own rules — moorage, surveys, passage logistics, island market pricing. We navigate them every day.

Our inventory runs from harbor-ready daycruisers to blue-water passage-makers, sail and power alike. And every listing we represent is marketed far beyond the islands through the co-brokerage network, reaching buyers across the mainland and around the world.

Expert Guidance

From first sea trial to final signature, a broker stays at your side — pricing strategy, negotiation, survey, escrow and closing, handled with care and candor.

Local Expertise

We work these harbors every day and know what boats want here — the moorage, the surveyors, the yards, and what island buyers are actually paying.

Global Reach

Hawaiʻi is remote; your listing isn't. Vessels we represent are marketed far beyond the islands, putting your boat in front of buyers worldwide.
