About
The private side of the yacht market.
A confidential acquisition platform, not a listing site.
OffMarketYacht.com exists because the yacht market has two layers and only one of them is visible. Public marketplaces show the yachts whose owners have decided to advertise. Alongside that sits a larger, quieter population of vessels whose owners would transact at the right number and have chosen not to be listed.
What we do
We source confidential and privately available yacht opportunities through a network of owners, captains, managers and cooperating brokers, and present them to qualified buyers in masked form. Where a buyer’s requirement is not met by what is available, we run retained acquisition searches — approaching the owners of matching vessels directly, on the buyer’s behalf.
On the sell side, we help owners test buyer demand privately before deciding whether a public listing is warranted at all.
How we handle confidentiality
Masking on this platform is architectural rather than cosmetic. Identity, shipyard, exact asking price, full specification and current position are held server-side and never enter a page, a structured-data block, a sitemap entry or an API response. There is nothing hidden in the source to uncover, because it was never sent.
Disclosure follows qualification. A form submission does not release confidential information; a person reviews every request against the terms the owner has set.
What we will not do
- Present an inferred opportunity as a confirmed seller. Entries where availability is unconfirmed are labelled Potential Opportunity and say so plainly.
- Manufacture urgency. No countdowns, no viewer counts, no “seller motivated” unless the record genuinely supports it.
- Use a photograph of a similar yacht and let a buyer assume it is the vessel. Where no authorised imagery exists, the card carries a generated profile study, labelled.
- Value a yacht from a web form, or tell an owner a buyer exists when one does not.
Who we work with
Principals, family offices and their advisors, and cooperating brokers representing buyers. Most of what we handle is in the United States — Florida in particular — with secondary inventory in the Bahamas, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean and the Gulf.
Your next yacht may never be publicly listed.
