“I’ll never deal with another business for buying or selling a boat. It is the people committed to the mission that help a company thrive and Bluewater has the right formula.”
– Doug G.
The Best in the Business
Bluewater’s team of accredited sales professionals operate on a firm foundation built over a 50-plus year history of success. With decades of experience working with the best brands and partners in the industry, our team members make it easy to list and sell your yacht because we are already well-connected to all of the industry-leading sales channels. Bluewater has one of the largest dealership networks in the United States with numerous locations along the Eastern seaboard. We research the market for buyers and sellers alike, ensuring the best positioning to get your boat sold at the best price.
We begin with an in-depth appraisal and comparative analysis of your vessel to determine its best features and value. A close eye on both the boat itself, and also it’s documentation can unveil potential hazards that could derail the sales process.
With Bluewater’s service network, you are connected to top-of—the-line marine craftsmen and engineers who are highly trained and capable of fixing any issues that arise. Four of our ten sales locations are situated on first-class service yards offering some of the most impressive capabilities and amenities of any facility along the Mid-Atlantic. These strategic locations and partnerships provide Bluewater the unique ability to streamline repairs, surveys and storage needs for our customers.
The successful marketing of your boat as a pre-owned listing relies on a suite of tools and team members that Bluewater has invested in and built over decades of experience, networking and growth.
The bottom line is that our team is committed to excellence and consistently going above and beyond in service to our extraordinary customers.

At the Shows & On the Water
Waterfront positioning and inclusion at events such as boat shows and open houses help win the heart of your boat’s new owner. Bluewater Yacht Sales devotes an entire team to over 15 national, regional and local boat shows and nearly 20 fishing tournaments and brand events throughout the year. We are invested in marketing strategies that other dealerships and independent brokers simply cannot afford—passing that advantage on to you.
You’ll find the Bluewater team highly involved in all the major national and regional boat shows, big game tournaments and manufacturer VIP events up and down the East Coast. This includes hosting our own exclusive events and open houses throughout our territories as well as helping to run some of the biggest shows and tournaments in the Mid-Atlantic.
Participation goes far beyond just striking a sponsorship check—it’s about getting involved, working toward great causes and getting to know our customers—all while establishing our leadership in the industry and gaining exposure for our customers’ listings.
