Whois & Analysis for denisonyachtsales.com

A yacht broker is a specialist who serves yacht or boat sellers and/or buyers as a representative for the sale or purchase of a yacht or boat.

The yacht broker is paid an agreed commission by the seller to market the yacht for sale, field interest and inquiries from buyers, handle negotiations, attend inspection and water trial and ultimately, if successful, to attend delivery.

A buyer's broker may assist their client in locating and qualifying a vessel and assisting with purchase negotiations but is typically not paid a commission by buyer and instead shares in the commission paid by the seller to their broker.

These two roles are referred to as Listing Broker (representing the seller and vessel) and Selling Broker (representing buyer).

Yachting refers to the use of recreational boats and ships called yachts for sporting purposes.

Yachts are different from working ships mainly by their leisure purpose.

A Luxury yacht (also super-yacht, large yacht and mega-yacht) is a very expensive, privately owned, professionally crewed sailing or motor yacht.

A sailboat or sailing boat is a boat propelled partly or entirely by sails smaller than a sailing ship.

Distinctions in what constitutes a sailing boat and ship vary by region and maritime culture.

A boat is a watercraft of a large range of sizes designed to float, plane, work or travel on water.

Small boats are typically found on inland waterways (e.g., rivers and lakes) or in protected coastal areas.

However, boats such as the whaleboat were designed for operation from a ship in an offshore environment.

In naval terms, a boat is a vessel small enough to be carried aboard another vessel (a ship).

Another less restrictive definition is a vessel that can be lifted out of the water.

Some definitions do not make a distinction in size, as bulk freighters long on the Great Lakes are called oreboats.

For reasons of naval tradition, submarines are usually referred to as 'boats' rather than 'ships', regardless of their size and shape.

Ships are generally distinguished from boats based on their larger size, shape and cargo or passenger capacity.
