We opened our doors in December 2009 at our dockside office on Lake Union in Seattle. Since that very first day, Hampton Yacht Group has been matching boating enthusiasts with their perfect yacht. With each year that passes by, HYG and our family of clients has steadily grown. We’ve expanded our reach across the Pacific Northwest, down the west coast with the opening of our Newport Beach office in California, and across the country to the east coast with the acquisition of our Fort Lauderdale office.
Throughout our strategic growth, we’ve always known that people make the difference. That’s why our team is composed of experienced brokers who say that going the extra mile for a client is in their DNA. We’re proud to be a global organization, with the heart and dedication of a small business.
Our listing process begins with the thorough preparation of your yacht before it is added to the marketplace. We provide comprehensive and customized checklists of what prospective buyers are looking for, and offer the benefit of close connections to vetted industry professionals to do any necessary work preparing your yacht.
From there, we do a careful market analysis and consider all factors to help you determine a listing price that will sell and satisfy. Your listing broker will help you to evaluate offers, make a counteroffer, and ensure that transactions are made in a fair and forthright manner.
Once ready, we take the time to provide prospective new owners with the most accurate and detailed specifications in the industry. We take full advantage of the far-reaching resources at our disposal and our in-house marketing professionals to ensure your boat is seen by many qualified prospective buyers.
We are constantly engaging with new clients via our major presence at boat shows across the country, open houses and VIP client events. Our owner and client attended HYG Rendezvous is an unforgettable weekend of fun, renowned on the west coast.
