Who is selling "Sunset Iii"?
"Sunset Iii" is offered by its listing brokerage through the YATCO MLS. Greg Gaus of Double G Yacht Sales represents you, the buyer: independent advice on price, survey attendance, and negotiation, paid from the existing listing commission - never by you.
What does it cost to run a 51-foot motor yacht?
Plan on roughly 8 to 12 percent of the purchase price per year for an owner-operated 51-footer - fuel, insurance, dockage, and routine maintenance. Greg can build a realistic operating budget for this boat before you offer.
Where can I see "Sunset Iii"?
She is lying in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and shows by appointment through your broker. Contact Double G Yacht Sales to arrange a private showing.
How does the purchase process work?
Accepted offer, then a survey and sea trial contingency of typically 7 to 14 days. Greg - a licensed captain with 20+ years at sea - attends the survey and sea trial personally and manages everything through closing.
How much is Florida sales tax on a yacht?
Florida charges 6% sales tax on boats but caps the total at $18,000 per vessel regardless of price - one of the most favorable regimes in the US. Out-of-state buyers who remove the vessel within the statutory window may qualify for an exemption.
