Market Analysis [OWNER TO CONFIRM]
What the Sold Market Is Actually Telling Us
Asking prices have held, but sold data tells a different story — and the gap between the two is where decisions get made.

Yacht Consultants
Know the Market.
Navigate the Deal.
Wake & Compass provides strategic yacht consulting and representation for buyers and sellers, combining global market intelligence, advanced vessel marketing, modern technology, disciplined negotiation, and hands-on guidance through closing.
Strategic representation for buyers and sellers — global market reach, local judgment
01
Market Intelligence
Asking price is not sold price. We compare active inventory, reliable sold indicators, condition, engines, refits, location, and transaction costs before establishing a defensible market position.
02
Global Comparison
We consider worldwide competition alongside the real cost and difficulty of relocation, commissioning, import status, currency, and shipping — not just the nearest comparable.
03
Disciplined Buyer Consulting
Define the mission, compare models, identify risk, structure offers, negotiate, and coordinate survey, documentation, legal, tax, insurance, finance, and transport professionals.
04
Clear Communication
Clients know what is happening, what the market says, what comes next, and why — at every stage from first conversation through closing.
Seller Representation
A Listing Is Not a Marketing Plan.
Most yachts are listed. Few are marketed. Wake & Compass treats each central listing as an individual product launch — positioned against its competition, priced against the real market, and presented with the quality the vessel deserves.
From market evaluation through closing, we represent your interests with disciplined strategy, honest counsel, and hands-on execution at every stage.

Buyer Consulting
Define the Mission. Find the Right Vessel.
The right yacht is not the most expensive one available — it is the one that fits your mission, your budget, and your operating reality. We begin with questions, not listings.
From mission definition through model comparison, offer structure, negotiation, survey, and closing, Wake & Compass coordinates every specialist and represents your interests at every step.

Modern Yacht Marketing, Built Around the Individual Vessel.
Technology does not replace relationships or judgment. It makes research broader, presentation stronger, follow-up faster, and campaigns more accountable.
01
Position
Analyze competition, price, buyer profile, objections, and geography before a single image is taken.
02
Present
Cinematic photography, lawful drone footage, walkthroughs, and technical documentation built for the vessel.
03
Launch
A dedicated listing page with original copy, specifications, media, brochure, and conversion-focused CTAs.
04
Capture
Distributed across approved global channels with SEO/AEO, social, segmented email, and direct broker outreach.
05
Measure
Track qualified inquiries, engagement, showings, source quality, and objections — not impressions.
06
Adjust
Feedback becomes seller recommendations. Campaigns adapt. Pricing reflects the market, not the calendar.
Market Intelligence
Asking Price Is Not Sold Price.
A market evaluation compares active inventory, reliable sold indicators, condition, specification, engines, refits, equipment, location, and transaction costs to establish a defensible position. This is a broker's professional market opinion — not an appraisal, survey, legal advice, or guarantee of value.
Evaluation
Before pricing a vessel or making an offer, we analyze what the market has actually sold — not what sellers are asking. Comparable analysis, condition adjustments, and market velocity inform every recommendation.
Acquisition
Buyer intelligence means knowing which listings are priced correctly, which are stale, and which represent genuine opportunity. We identify risk before it becomes a survey finding or a negotiation problem.
Negotiation
Disciplined negotiation is built on market data, not intuition. We structure offers, anticipate counterarguments, and represent your position with evidence — from first offer through final agreement.

Why Most Yacht Listings Fail to Sell the Yacht
A database entry is not a marketing plan. The difference between a listing and a campaign is the difference between waiting and selling.
