How Transactions Work

How Transactions Work

At YachtPact, we believe that buying or selling a yacht should be as secure as it is exciting. YachtPact does not hold buyer funds. Buyers and sellers complete their transaction through a licensed marine closing agent or escrow provider of their own choice, and YachtPact can explain the typical steps involved.

How a typical closing protects you:

Independent Escrow

Deposits and final purchase funds are held in a dedicated, secure escrow account by the licensed marine closing agent or escrow provider the buyer and seller choose — not by YachtPact. Funds are only released once all closing conditions are met and both parties have signed off.

Comprehensive Lien Searches

The closing agent or escrow provider you choose performs title and lien searches as part of the closing process.

Expert Documentation

From Bills of Sale to Transport Canada or USCG registration paperwork, the closing agent or escrow provider you choose prepares the documents needed to complete the transaction.

Digital Convenience

Many closing agents let you review and sign documents securely online.
