Pop Yachts - brokers or scammers?

• Add to quote

I see their listings plastered all over Ebay and at times on CL - the boats tend to be older and all are overpriced for the Florida market - in the body of each ad is a come-on for people to join their brokerage to sell boats - pretty tacky. Just curious if anyone has bought or sold a boat through them ?- they do at least provide lots of pictures  

I bought one thru them, out of state, and it was a good experience. No games, straight forward.  

I recently inquired about a boat that POP Yachts represented. The broker that contacted me had the customer skills one would usually stereotype with a used-car salesman. In general, the broker did several things to piss-me-off. I told him that my interest in this boat or any other boat that POP Yachts represent is gone. I will not deal with them again.  

I looked at one they had listed. Broker was friendly and helpful. I ended up not purchasing the boat but I had no issues with POP Yachts I'm guessing the experience varies from broker to broker.  

My complaint is that you have to register before you can even look at all of the photos. I'm a potential buyer and you're going to force me to register before you'll even show me what you have for sale!?! Give me a break!!! That's just stupid. Imagine how long Walmart would have stayed in business if, when he opened the first one, Sam Walton had stood at the door with a clipboard and said, "You can't come in and look around until you let me collect some information about you." Sadly, PopYachts is not the only one that does this sort of thing. It just amazes me that there are business people out there who are so completely brain-dead that they think -- just because it's the internet -- it is okay to throw roadblocks in front of potential customers who want to get some information.

You mean like. Mmm. Costco. ......  

No. Not like Costco. Unless they've changed their policy in the last few years, Costco will let you come in and look around without joining. You can check prices, browse through the whole store, and so on. Only when you decide that you want to buy something are you then required to join. If PopYachts followed that sort of policy I would have no complaints. But PopYachts won't let you browse around -- they won't let you see the pictures of the boats they have -- until you register. That is stupid. Just plain STOOOPID!  

I believe that each POP Yachts broker has the latitude to set their own policies for dealing with customers. Many salespeople feel that you have entered a series of transactions and negotiations from the minute that they pick up the phone; I'll do something for you only if you do something for me. I used to be in sales training, and I recognize the behavior. Before I made a 5-hour car trip to see a boat, I asked the POP Yachts broker for the HIN of the vessel I was interested in. He flatly refused, explaining that he thought that I would use it to identify the seller, and cut him out of his commission. He stated that he would provide the HIN and answers to other questions that I had after I signed a contract to buy the boat. I found this unacceptable and lost interest in dealing with either him or POP Yachts. Shortly thereafter I was contacted by another POP Yachts broker who sent me a link to where I could get a free copy of a "Carfax for boats" that had been done on that vessel. I never looked at it, because I had moved on.

I had a bad experience with a PopYacht broker. I will never even look at one of their listings again.  

One question for you all who have recently dealt with POP Yachts. When I was looking 2+ years ago it seemed to me that they were claim jumping for sale listings. As in they were listing boats for sale that were not actually listed with them...in an effort to get you to work with them to buy a boat. Have any of you come across this??

d0n- "you're going to force me to register before you'll even show me " I expect that is just one more example of a company (in this case, the parent company itself) trying to monetize everything, gathering up your demographics to sell them. Someone is willing to pay them for every "potential boat buyer" they can name, and when you sign up...you've been datamined. So, step right up and join the game, send the emails to your favorite local FCC chairperson or other deserving entity. Heck, its only karma, right?(G) They seem like an "MLS" for people who want to be self-employed boat brokers. You find a boat someone is selling, copy it to your PY account...and if you're lucky, get a split. Or something to some similar effect, from what I've seen. And just like real estate brokers (who aren't "Realtors®") hey, if the broker is on their toes...all the same to the buyer, right?

I contacted them a couple years back about a boat and had a good experience with the broker I dealt with. Did not get past the offer stage. They use a marketing automation system for ongoing marketing (which I don't see a lot of in this industry) which is the reason for the quicker push to collect an email address (my opinion from looking from the outside in). I got the feeling they are more of an "association" type of arrangement selling leads to various brokers.  

I don't think I'd call Popyachts itself a "scam". They are more like the real estate MLS, or Amazon, ebay, Alibaba, and every eastern bazaar. It seems pretty much that anyone can sign up, use the Popyachts "umbrella", and then proceed to try posting and selling pretty much anything--without being bothered by things like having or needing a broker's license or other professional oversight.  

No, nothing like an MLS. Yachtworld is the MLS and Popyachts was banned from there. So the answer to the original question is a resounding "YES!!". They supposedly had a boat in Maine for sale, broker was in FL. This was a couple years ago. They kept harvesting and harvesting my info. But would never tell me where the boat was. Supposedly in "Saco, ME." It was a lie. Too good to be true. They steal Craigslist photos and post them themselves, then approach the seller and try to get a commission. They charge fees to buyers, etc., etc. Absolutely no ethics. Now there's a new one that comes after you through Craigslist offering "free FSBO postings," then torments you by phone until you pay them $300.00. I offered to provide the guy's number to the Maine Attorney General's office and never heard from him again.  

POPYACHTS is a scam. Here is what I think they do. They look for boats on Craigslist and ebay and contact the seller and get them to agree to have them represent their boat. They then mark up the original seller price 2X and then make a really flashy ad on Ebay and Craigslist hoping to get you to over pay for the boat. How do I know this? I had been watching a boat in the Pittsburgh area. It had been listed for a long time on craigslist locally. This ad stood out because the seller was listing it as a Chris Craft Baja. Two manufacturers that were never related. The boat was also a wreck and had been sitting out for a long time. One day while looking at local ebay ads I saw the same boat and same pics listed by POPYACHTS. The ad was glowing and misrepresented the actual condition of the boat. I contacted the POPYACHTS broker regarding the boat. They got back to me. When I said why was the boat listed locally for a price that was half of what they were listing it for. He then became angry with the question and said owners can list them locally for what they want. So I am not actually sure if the local owner was even aware that their boat was listed on ebay. I suspect not. I would say, if you are consider a boat listed by POPYACHTS to search for the boat locally and do the deal with the owner and cut out mark up of the middle man. Pretty sleazy company in my opinion. I suspect any positive reviews are made up by the company. I would avoid.  

Every time an add for a POP yachts boat comes up there is an add for Seatow on the page. what is that telling you.  

Tells me seatow buys promotion ads.  

Ya. you are going to buy adds where your customers are, tells me they get a lot of business from POP 's customers  

Brokers or scammers? Maybe a little of both. I really hate to give up my information, or have to speak with a broker, just to look at photos of a boat online.

It could also be that the self-employed "local representatives" were scamming both the owners AND Popyachts by putting the boat on ebay without the knowledge of either. Popyachts makes it clear that they are only going to take a 10% commission. But like the Uber drivers who rudely embarrass Uber...the contractors might be up to anything else.  

Curiously, I just got an email from a Pop Yachts scammer broker in Bradenton, and the boat is on Craigslist in Maine. Wanted to get my phone number so he could "call and explain the process." Said he wanted to market the boat and charge any fees to the buyer. So, Shane, the answer is a resounding "NO." There's a reason (I told him) Pop Yachts is banned from Yachtworld. I also warned him if he ripped and represented my photos in any way, I'd be calling both the Maine and Florida Attorney General's offices.  

It might be worth contacting Popyachts about this guy. THEY may not want to be affiliated with him either. Their basic concept, to have a wide listing service other than YW, and to provide "local brokers" to make it different from just a laundry list, isn't so crazy. But if they are not vetting the "local brokers"... Well, even Youtube has been having problems cancelling pedophile accounts, and Amazon can't seem to get rid of the counterfeiters. Scams appear wherever there's money to be stolen. Ergh, made.  

No to contacting Pop Yachts about anyone. The business model is the problem. They rip photos off FSBO's, then try to claim a commission. They got booted from YW for a reason. I mean, how BAD do you have to be to get kicked out of the only multiple listing service for yacht brokerage in the U.S.?  

I don't know why (or for sure if) YW kicked them off, but since the Popyachts operation would seem to be a competitor to YW, not just a simple brokerage, that in itself would be reason to kick them off regardless to any questions of misbehavior. Very few businesses, including hobby web forums that depends on viewers and advertisers, allow competitors to set up camp on them. If PY is doing all that you say they are, a complaint with the FTC might get them shut down. Ripping off other people's photos and "trying to claim a commission" when there was no prior arrangement would violate numerous laws and probably qualify for prosecution under RICO as well. Which would make them a great target for any federal agency, assuming that's what has been going on.  

So, I haven't seen anyone on here from the seller perspective...and while every situation is different, I seriously doubt POP is advertising and trying to sell boats at 2X the seller's asking price. Why do I know this? Because I am selling my boat through POP and they are advertising less than 10% higher and that is their commission. Again, just a different perspective from the seller's side of the story.[/QUOTE]

it looks like a scam  

Everyone's experience may be different, but I find the listings annoying and basically click bait. We did contact a POP Yachts sales agent about a boat, and when we met to see the boat it was clear that he knew nothing about it, and probably had never met the owner. I can usually find a listing for the same boat on multiple sites so I usually favor the more legit, local agent.  

That's what they do. For example, a recent Dyer 29 (nice little downeaster ********) was on the local Craigslist for $75,000.00. I think the actual listing broker (who had a legitimate listing) and the owner got wind of it and it was taken down. The number to call, for a Maine boat, was in Florida. Same number as I called a few years ago for a Pearson 365 that looked great and was claimed to be in Saco, Maine. I called the boatyards in Saco, asked around and the boat didn't exist. Click bait. When I called, they had to "coordinate with the owner." It dragged out awhile and then other P365's were offered. Scam. I also researched complaints against them. There were a lot, overcharges, etc., etc.

What happens if you don't get approval for financing?

Thanks for the question! There are indeed only two methods of purchasing a boat, cash or finance. If you cannot get approved for financing, you'll have to have the cash. There are a number of great sources of boat financing, including JR Bates at… more

KUDOS to my POP Team: Gena Kraft, Tricia Thompson and Kevin I can't thank my POP team enough for helping me sell my RV this morning in California! It was a process, but painless, THANKS to you guys. Prior to POP, I tried to do it on my own, but everything about it was very frustrating and time-consuming. They'll take the worry of selling your RV so you can focus on your life, work and the things you'd rather spend time on other than answering questions on the phone or showing your RV to a non serious buyer. Thank you Gena for taking care of the listing and giving me weekly updates. Thank you Tricia for reassuring me everything will go smoothly and handling the closing documents and sale of the RV. Thank you Kevin, who drove 3 hours to represent POP and be by my side, during the sale of the RV.

I recently purchased​ a Boat - Monterey​ 282 CR the closing staff was good, a few minor missteps. Where the real 5 stars come from Bill Bland in the Buford Ga area (Lake Lanier). Met Bill liked the boat and made the deal. That was over 4 months​ ago, Bill has been available​ when we have​ reached out to him and has never said he was too busy. Words cannot express the gratitude we all feel with his assistance. If your fortunate enough to have Bill working​ with you it will be a great experience​. Thanks,​ Bill

I've been very interested in this boat for a while. When I call POP Yachts to see if the boat was still available the broker told me yes and when would I like to see it I text her back a date and time and she told me she would contact me the next day. I didn't hear from her the next day or the day after that ,I got a text to call her. She told me the owner didn't want to come down unless I was serious about purchasing the boat which I told her I was but I had some questions since the transmission wasn't working. She then demanded to know how I was going to pay for the boat and that she was too busy to answer my questions, and beside you said it would be six months before I could purchase it. I told her that she was wrong maybe she was so busy that it was somebody else she is thing of. Now she can kiss my butt goodbye .

Had a great experience working with Pop RVs. They connected the buyer and seller well. Our representative for closing Tracy Howard was especially amazing and always kept us in the loop with what was happening. Pop RVs is especially lucky to have someone like that work for their company. I would highly recommend using Pop RVs again to a friend if they were looking for a RV!

They gave a honest evaluation of my RV and sold it quicker than I anticipated. Bradley was my salesman he did a good job I would work with him again.

Beware of this business. I dealt with a sales person named "Laura" in Littleton. I was looking for a boat broker that could find me a boat anywhere. This was well understood. Like all sales people, they think that the longer they have you on the hook, the better chance they have of getting business. For 4 days, this girl lies to me about the role of Pop Yachts and tells me they do everything when come to FINALLY find out, they ONLY sell their own boats and ARE NOT actual boat brokers. BLATANTLY LIED TO ME FOR DAYS. Boats are expensive. Do you want a company that lies to you handling your million dollar boat purchase??? Yikes.

Awful Experiences. Be very careful. After two experiences personally, both boats were very, very over-priced and very, very over-represented as to quality, etc. They put in fictitious value and quality upgrades that don't exist. Recommend that you "Stay far away".

We bought a boat in May and are loving it! Our experience with POP Yachts was great. The broker eased my concerns with the process. Everything went smoothly.

I saw a adv on craigslist, from pop yachts, got a few emails, but couldn't get appt to see the boat. I suspect the boat was sold and the seller didn't notify pop yachts. they sent me some other boat ads, but couldn't get info on the boat I wanted. This was not worth my time. maybe you have better luck.

Never would I recommend this company we just heard a detailed story about how they scam people. all I can say is take 1 minute and look all over the web people are posting bad stories daily about this scam company boaters beware!

Purchase of boat in Tennessee

Boat is located at marina in Tennessee. The marina required 2 month's notice in giving up the slip. Pop paid for two month's rent to satisfy them. Thanks. The buyer's agent was in Florida. We had difficulty obtaining information about the current status of the boat as no Pop rep. was at the marina. The seller's agent contact was given to me to ask about the boat's current status. The sale was completed and sales tax was paid in Florida. The Tennessee registration requires a form to be completed that was supposed to come from the broker. None was provided. TN also requires that TN taxes were paid. Not done.

Hanna Banana earns POP 9.5 stars

Pop is the greatest platform I’ve ever experienced is selling a unit, I had been trying for 6 months on my own with not much action. 2 days after listing I received a offer for $4000 more than what I was trying to get. Roy my personal representative was to my place with in days to make video and take pictures ( all at pops expense) showing it very well. My heart and greatest appreciation goes to “Hanna Banana “for her tireless dedication and ability to handle a very complex closing over the weekend. She started @ 5 stars and by time everything was finished I moved her up to 9.5 ( I’m a communist judge and never give 10.0) . She is a true professional and reflects the dedication that POP has for clients, they should be proud to have her on board

WOW, Joseph, thank you for this outstanding review! We are so glad that we were able to sell your RV for more than you wanted within 2 days. We especially love hearing the praises of our Pop Team.

My experience with Pop Yachts was great! My associate Brandon was with me all the way, offering advice on my Boat description, pricing, and adjustments when necessary. The span of advertising is the key. They reach a very large market, and take ALL calls with offers and help to filter out the non- serious offers. Would use them again 👍

Date of experience : 25 January 2024

Thank you, Robert, for the terrific 5-star review! We are so glad that Brandon took great care of you while we found a buyer for your boat. We will be here if you are in the market to buy or sell a boat or RV, and we promise to make it as easy as possible. Thanks for choosing Pop!

Great Company to serve as an advisor between a buyer and a seller

We knew we wanted to purchase a specific higher-end Class A motorcoach and being a CPA, we didn't want to pay the upcharge that you pay when purchasing through a RV dealership. Given the cost of this RV, we were not comfortable trying to navigate a purchase directly with a seller. Luckily, we found the (almost) exact RV we wanted and it was listed by Popsells. The entire process was seamless from the negotiations to the RV titling/tag receipt. The communication was better than expected as I was consistently informed. Given the industry in which I work (Audit Director of the largest title company in the US), I was amazed by the escrow process, including the security around the wire process (which can be very risky in today's world and the use of email). There is not one thing I can point out in Popsells' process that needs enhancement from a buyer's point of view (and that says a lot coming from someone in the audit field). I highly recommend having this company by your side when making a purchase of this size.

The appointment to view the RV was made quickly and we are able to conclude our business within one day. The RV offered was an excellent condition which was also reflected in the advertisement. The consultants for getting the RV financed registered and in my possession, we're all very professional and extremely competent. The whole process was finished within 7 days over the Christmas holidays which I thought was next to impossible. Thank you very much I will recommend you in the future. Marty Novinski

Thank you so much for the outstanding, detailed review, Marty! We are so glad that you were able to find the perfect RV and complete the transaction within one week, over the holidays. We love hearing that the Pop Team is professional, competent, and expeditious. We appreciate your recommendation and wish you many great adventures in your new motorhome!

Unprofessional Sales and Finance Reps

The individuals at Pop Rv are totally unprofessional. I'm specifically calling out Andy Baker and Caleb Grassi. Andy prompted me to apply for a loan through Rock Solid Funding (their partner) without ever calling or speaking with me personally. I received a computer rejection in less than 5 minutes after submitting the application. No human being ever looked at my application. When I questioned the process, Caleb Grassi gave me a "sorry we can't help you" reply. I make over $100k/year, have $0 debts, and have stellar ratings on my credit report from Chrysler, Ally Bank, Verizon, Capitol One, and more. My prediction: Pop RV will be out of business in a year or two max. My Recommendation: Shop Elsewhere.

Good Overall Experience

Good overall experience working with Pops RV. Only thing I would recommend is have the area representative be available at inspection or delivery of the RV to assist with any issues that might arise. Other than that they worked to keep me informed on the sale transaction Rusty from Pops stepped in to help with getting me the paperwork from the finance company as it was running late. He also ensured I was reimbursed late fees I was assessed for the paperwork not getting to me on time. Would recommend Pop RVs if you’re in the market for an RV.

Date of experience : 31 October 2023

Thank you for the review and recommendation, Steven. We are always looking to expand our Pop Consultants across the country, but in some cases there is not a local representative (yet). If you happen to know anyone interested in being a local rep, please ask them to visit popsellscareers.com. We are glad that Rusty was able to get your paperwork delivered and took care of your late fees due to the delay in delivery. We appreciate your recommendation and wish you many great adventures in your new RV!

Cory was very attentive to my needs and sent me quite number of boats to consider buying. Although I ended up purchasing a boat on my own, not affiliated with Pops Boats, I would not hesitate to use them the next time I'm in the market to purchase a boat. Thank you Cory! Ron C. Raleigh, NC

Excellent Class A RV Buying Experience

I recently purchased a Class A motor home after a long search. Without seeking PopRVs out, I purchased it through them. I’m very pleased that I did. The rep, Sonny, was extremely helpful and patient with me and my specific desires. The Closing Advocate, Tracy, was SUPER. She was very congenial and professional and walked me through the process in a friendly manner. The listing agent, Raymond, went above and beyond what you get in today’s world of customer service. Everyone treated me with respect and kindness throughout the entire experience. I certainly recommend PopRVs.

This possibly the worse broker whom I've ever dealt. They send multiple confused emails, cancel appoints frequently and with almost no notice, schedule appointments at times they have told I'm not available. After four (4) weeks and requesting to see five (5) 'vessels,' haven't been able to see any. The one appointment not canceled, the rep wasn't at the address I had been given

Popsells did an incredible job for me. From beginning to end, they kept me informed every step of the way. The first buyer they brought me purchased my boat, and the closing process was seamless and very fast. My representative, Steve Sotelo, was knowledgeable, prompt, and overall an awesome guy.

Thanks for the outstanding review, Jonathon! We are so glad to hear that we were able to quickly find a buyer for your boat and the Pop Team made closing seamless and fast. We hope to have the pleasure of working with you again in the future.

Highly recommend Pop Yacht/RVs!

Highly recommend Pop Yacht/RVs!! I initially contacted Shane Head after seeing a fantastic YouTube video on the Newell 2000. Shane placed me in contact with James Schwartz, Sr Consultant. James was amazing to work with. He answered every question I threw his way. Once an agreement was reached between the Seller and myself, I was introduced to Tracie Roberts, Closing Advocate. Tracie was also amazing and helped us through the purchasing and closing process. All in all, amazing experience. Extremely professional staff, friendly and knowledgeable in their respective fields.

RV purchase

We purchased a Tiffin motor home from Pop RV. Allen and Tracy were great to work with. They made our purchase very smooth from start to finish. We would definitely use POP RV again if we are ever interested in buying another RV.

We purchased a 1999 Chris Craft boat…

We purchased a 1999 Chris Craft boat July 2022. We reached out 7/3/22 & picked up boat 7/30/22. It was extremely painful process dealing with popyachts office & closing department. Steve Friedrich was our saving grace, as he helped balance out all the issues we were having with Christine Harrower, our closing person. We also reached out to Rusty Kline her manager without a response till after we were actually closing. The actual close day went mostly without a hitch, but I would never recommend the company, which actually charged me the buyer $495.00 to do the closing documents- which was required if we wanted to buy boat. The papers were sent & accurate & came pretty quickly, but everything else I had to essentially set up ( inspection, sea trial) myself.

This is a 5 star company

This is a 5 star company. Soup to nuts they handled everything regarding the solicitation’s to the paperwork all the way around. I’ve utilized the services of Pops Yachts for a purchase and finally to sell. They can handle both the purchase and the sales very professionally and proficiently. DBB

Pop RVs and Roger:AWESOME!!

Pop RVs and Roger, who we worked with, made this one of the smoothest processes ever! It was so much easier to go through them than trying to sell our RV ourselves. It was an east process with lots of upfront details about what we should expect. It happened exactly as they said. We were consistently kept up to date with where things stood. Everyone was friendly, efficient and reachable at all times. I highly recommend if you want to buy or sell an RV!

Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope you continue to consider Pop RVs for your RV needs in the future.

A Wonderful and Trust worthy Experience...

Everyone I came in contact with were truly PROFESSIONAL. When they requested info from me, I created and they responded receipt. When I had questions about the unit or process one or two responded back to me. When I was required to put down the deposited from bank to bank and also FINAL payment, copies were emailed back to me that the task(s) were completed. Neil was GREAT for my Inspection of said unit and when my son and two grown grand sons did the FINAL Inspection, Neil was a BIG help to them. I would rate Rome, Neil, Harley and others on a scale of 1 to 10 a 13 (thirteen). If I ever needed to sell the unit (I am 81), I will ask Pops RV to assist. It was a GREAT & WONDERFUL Experience and I am a HAPPY RV'er! Ivan Price, a transfer from California to Florida

Working with Pop RVs was a great…

Working with Pop RVs was a great experience, and our second time! From the listing process through the sales closure, Robert, our sales representative, was professional and attentive to our needs. Their reach into the listings market is the largest I have encountered. One of the main reasons for using Pop RVs the second time was due to the level of professionalism and trust in the closing process. No concerns about the payments and the last mile of the transaction with the buyer as I know that PoP RVs has this all covered. In an industry that is wrought with less than dependable or unethical companies/individuals, knowing that you have someone you can trust is worth a lot. I would highly recommend PoP RVs to anyone selling their RV.

Fantastic! It's been our pleasure to handle both sales for you. We appreciate the kudos for our team, our marketing program, our sales process, and our secure payments. Thanks for your recommendations, and all the best in your next adventures!

THEY ADVERTISED NATION WIDE AND THERE…

THEY ADVERTISED NATION WIDE AND THERE WAS MANY LOOKERS. BUT WE LIVE IN A REMOTE AREA SO ONLY ONE PERSON WAS ABLE TO COME TO INSPECT THE RV. THEY DID PURCHASE IT. POPRV ADDED $2150 TO OUR PRICE WHICH WAS PAID BY THE BUYER. THEY DO DESERVE A COMMISSION FOR SURE. THEN I LOOKED AT THE BUYERS CONTRACT AND THE BUYER GOT A $495 CHARGE FOR A TITLE SEARCH. I EMAILED POPRV A COPY OF OUR TITLE WHICH WAS CURRENT AND CLEAR. I FELT BAD ABOUT THIS CHARGE AND TOLD THE BUYER I WOULD DROP MY PRICE $500. POPRV WAS GOOD FOR ME BUT I FEEL THEY DIDN'T NEED TO CHARGE THE BUYER THE EXTRA $495. THEY DIDN'T COME HERE TO TAKE PICTURES OR EVER MEET WITH US IN PERSON, I GUESS BECAUSE OF OUR LOCATION.

Date of experience : 29 June 2023

We are glad to hear that we were able to help you sell your RV, even in a remote area. We have Pop Consultants all over the country, but not everywhere (yet). Our fees are clear and transparent to the buyers and sellers from the beginning. The buyer's fee covers much more than a title search. We also provide funding transactions, taxes where applicable, clear and free titles, inspection recommendations, and much more to ensure that it is a legitimate sale so that the buyers and sellers get everything they need for a smooth transaction.

WATCH OUT FOR THIS COMPANY!!

WATCH OUT FOR THIS COMPANY!!! DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!!! They tell you one thing and try to sue you as soon as you stop doing business with them. I had an agreement with Joseph Spadafina one of their sales reps. that it was OK to use their services and advertise elsewhere. I agreed and had other buyers interested through BoatTrader.com, which I would suggest going with instead Popyachts. I told them I had a buyer and if that didn't go through I would consider their offer after I showed the boat. I sold the boat and notified them that their services were not needed and in a couple of weeks, they will harass you will legal threats and get a commission on something they never did. BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE!!!!!!!!! BAD BUSINES

Date of experience : 11 April 2022

Pop has completed over 22,000 sales since 2009, and we professionally represent every unit entrusted to us. Our straightforward marketing agreement encourages sellers to continue to market their units on their own. We simply ask sellers to let us know of potential buyers identified by their own advertising. In return, Pop generates detailed weekly reports to inform sellers of all buyer activity generated through our marketing efforts. Neither party should ever be surprised by the origin of a prospective buyer. Very rarely, a seller will proceed outside of our marketing agreement. We do not take any collection action lightly, and we communicate with each seller to avoid any misunderstandings. While we recognize that this may prove upsetting to any seller who hoped to avoid a contractual obligation, it is not unreasonable for a reputable company to pursue resolution in accordance with signed contracts. We remain in contact with the registered owner of this boat. Thank you.

Pops RV have great people to work with throughout the purchasing of an RV. People like Laura, Trish and Ken were knowledgeable, conscientious, accessible and great to work with. From the time we first looked at the travel trailer till we finally made a decision these folks were there. They walked us through the process and as first time buyers, they took all our concerns away and answered all our questions. The process is smooth, safe for the buyer and was easy to buy a travel trailer 1,700 miles away from where we live. I recommend Pop’s RV very highly.

Excellent service

I recently purchased my boat through Pop Yachts. It's my second boat through them, and once again it was a terrific experience. My buyers agent Steve sent me boats almost daily to look at, and send him feedback on what I was looking for. We narrowed it down and found the perfect boat only 100 miles from my home.

Buying RAPTURE I thought buying a50 year old sailboat…

I thought buying a50 year old sailboat would be nightmare but it was anything but that. Charlie Seitz in Florida got me on boats on the west coast And dealing with a competitor broker who shall remain nameless was all concerned about splitting the commission. When I found my boat in Florida Charlie took the reins which allowed me concentrate on selling my condo, packing up and driving to Vero Beach for the haul out which I was determined to attend. Tonya D came on board then and every detail was taken care of except for me having to hire a surveyor, all I did was open her emails, read and sign docs! So easy! After inspecting the boat on the day of my arrival, the haul out the next day and a small matter of wiring the money to escrow I didn’t have to do a darn thing except e-sign docs. Now I’m living on my boat and life is good! Thanks guys! YOU ROCK!!

Is POP Yachts a Scam? Why Many Believe it Is

In its own words, POP Yachts is a boat broker. Otherwise, its version of an About Us page is filled with the kind of information that most people would expect, which is to say, a description of what it does as well as how it does it but touched up to make it as presentable as possible. Something that isn't particularly uncommon for business websites to say the least. However, if interested individuals choose to look further using search engines, chances are good that they will turn up further web pages on other webpages with much more unpleasant things to say about the boat broker. Due to this, it is perfectly natural for them to wonder whether POP Yachts is a scam or not.

Is POP Yachts a Scammer?

Unfortunately, there is no simple and straightforward method for telling when a business has crossed the line from being a poor provider of products and services to being a straight-up scam. There are plenty of places where people have posted complaints about POP Yachts. For proof, look no further than the Better Business Bureau , which has provided it with a B- rating based on a total of 11 complaints. Furthermore, it is important to note that the Better Business Bureau has listed a 3-star review based on an aggregate of the customer reviews that have been submitted to it. Curiously, these reviews are either very good or very bad with few reviews that are in-between, which could be interpreted to mean that POP Yachts customers either have very good or very bad experiences. This is further supported by what people have said on various boat forums, which show a fair amount of negativity mixed in with some pretty positive comments.

As for the exact nature of the complaints, they are wide-ranging in nature rather than focused on one or even a small number of issues. In some cases, people complained about POP Yachts representatives misrepresenting the truth, which is a serious warning sign for obvious reasons. In other cases, complaints ranged from the poor attitude of POP Yachts representatives to a lack of response on the part of the boat broker and over-aggressiveness in their attempts to convince boat owners to sell through them. Based on this, it seems reasonable to say that POP Yachts has some serious issues, particularly since the range of reviews posted on a number of websites make it clear that this isn't just one or two customers who are dissatisfied by their interactions with the boat broker.

Moving on, it is curious to note that POP Yachts claims to be one of the best businesses of its kind when measured using the reviews posted on Trustpilot.com . For those who are unfamiliar with that particular name, Trustpilot.com is a review website where customers can post reviews about the businesses that they have interacted with. Perhaps unsurprisingly, online review sites are filled with dishonest reviews, which are the inevitable outcome when there are such strong incentives at work without the corresponding barriers set up to prevent people from acting upon them. However, Trustpilot.com is particularly concerning because KwikChex has turned up actual examples of fake reviews on its website, which isn't helped by the fact that the website lets its premium users filter the reviews that interested individuals see without any indication that said reviews have been filtered. Combined, these facts don't exactly inspire a great deal of confidence in what Trustpilot.com has to say on the matter, particularly when there are so many other complaints on other websites that contradict the substance of this particular claim.

Summed up, there is no simple and straightforward method for determining whether POP Yachts is a scam or not. When one considers the fact that it has been in business for years and years, it seems probable that it isn't a scam so much as a business that hasn't been very good at satisfying a substantial number of the customers that it has interacted with. However, whether POP Yachts is a scam or not probably isn't actually that interesting for most consumers out there. Instead, what most of them are really interested in is whether POP Yachts can be trusted to provide them with their desired service or not, in which case, the answer is at best a "maybe, maybe not." Suffice to say that this isn't what anyone would consider to be a stirring endorsement, meaning that interested individuals might want to look elsewhere. Something that is particularly true because there isn't exactly a shortage of other service providers that can help them with whatever it is that they are looking for in this regard.

How Can You Tell that Something Is a Scam Anyways?

In any case, interested individuals might want to look into the various ways that they can pick up on something being a scam, which should help them avoid a wide range of potential pitfalls. Generally speaking, interested individuals should be suspicious of anything that sounds too good to be true. In fact, they should be suspicious of anything that is making them rush into a decision because that reduces the chances of them making a cool, reasoned-out choice that is in their genuine best interests. Under this light, something that sounds too good to be true is suspicious because it seems designed to encourage them to rush into a decision instead of thinking about it. Similarly, if someone is getting a lot of pressure from the representatives of a business into making a decision, that tends to be rather suspicious as well, though to be perfectly fair, it is possible that they are just pushy salespeople rather than scammers seeking to pressure consumers into making a bad decision.

Besides this, there are various other things to watch out for. For instance, a business that hasn't existed for very long time is very suspicious because they are a complete and utter unknown, meaning that it is best to look elsewhere. Likewise, if a business has no physical presence at the place that they are claiming, that is even more suspicious. Fortunately, the Internet makes it easier for people to communicate than ever before, meaning that if people are interested, they should have no problems finding more information on how to pick up on potential problems.

Fantastic Company, Stellar Service!

To David Perkins and POP Team, Thank you so very much for reaching out to me during this process of selling my boat. I appreciate the specific and personal overture and all the efforts that are being made and have been made by your extremely skilled team. The whole POP Yachts process is not challenged by distance and neither is your team. I have felt confident as if they were active and present even here at Lake Norman, NC representing myself and my boat. Effectively, there has not been a break in communication nor have I felt that the process is lacking in efficiency or clarity. Your team has walked my wife and I perfectly through the process of listing, selling and closing. Pretty amazing! My listing price was honored and my boat was sold quickly, very quickly! I am very happy to have found your services and would highly recommend the professional service of POP Yachts to anyone. Once again, thank you for your impeccable service. If there was "six" stars to give…without any hesitation I would give six! Very Best to The POP Yachts Team! John G.

Unprofessional is an understatement.

Owner stated so many intrue items and salesman verified them all. Owner took items off the boat right in front off salesman and I and salesman said nothing. Trailer is abused and salesman knew nothing about it. Salesman said boat was regularly detailed and was filthy. The tower was not safe to use and required to be totally removed and missing parts purchase or fabricated to make useable. Trailer brakes did not work properly and could have caused an accident on my way home. Paperwork was incomplete and still can not get it registered to use. Office gave no actual assistance along the way. Office requested information that was not needed and did not do a professional job on their part. Feel like the entire process was a blunder from the get go. Salesman send like a very nice person but did not do his job accurately or completely. I wil have to post this information on media to help others know what not to expect from Pop Yatchs. Very disappointed to say the least. I get what I deserve for not taking to boat out for trials and not getting it surveyed. Owners son while trying to maintain this boat or add and work on it caused more damage rather than help in all aspects. While I did get a good price worked out for this purchase il end up spending all the saving to make it safe and worthy. I still have yet to get it on water and God only knows what I'll find when I actually get the trailer title and do get to water.

Thank You POP Yachts - fantastic boat buying experience

As a semi-novice boat buyer, I was delighted with the process that POP Yachts employs. I researched many boats and talked with several Sellers/Brokers. Brian was by far the best - outstanding communication - timely and transparent. Could not have been more responsive. The process they employ is great - thoroughly walks you through step by step with no risk until appropriate. Zero pressure. After the deal was consummated, Tricia stepped in and was equally responsive and a delight to work with. With Title in hand and Boat in water (that's the best part!), I received a note from their CEO. Great organization from top down! Thank you POP Yachts! "Joy Full" is going out for sunset cruise tonight...

Great support from start to finish

Kevin Stigall and Faye Sutton were both a huge help in making the boat buying experience a great one for me. When I had a question, they had the answer. Now I'm set with my dream boat. I absolutely recommend POPYachts when purchasing a boat.

Knowledgeable with exceptional service

Being new to boating I had a lot of questions and feel fortunate to have worked with Mark early on from an educational perspective as he patiently invested his time to answer all of my initial questions but also took the time to clearly explain the POP documentation which helped to alleviate any contract related concerns. His experience also added value and streamlined the negotiation process. Once the mutual agreed upon price and water test was finalized, Andrea did a great job communicating and ensuring that all documents were processed and returned timely. I would highly recommend this company and its knowledgeable staff to anyone in the market for a boat.

Gary did a great job keeping me informed on the progress

I will use POP Yachts again

Great people at Pop Yachts

From beginning to end and every one of the people involved in the sale were wonderful and very helpful in bringing the sale to a great closure. If I had more boats to sale this would be the place to go. Thanks to all the people involved.

Completely Satisfied

The overall process was excellent and I received great and timely service and ultimately a boat that I am 100% satisfied with. Thanks! Let's do business again when I upgrade.

Thank you for the outstanding review, John. We are so happy to hear that Garett was over the top on service and that the Pop team always treated you with professionalism. Congratulations on the purchase of your new RV. We hope that you and your wife have many great adventures in it!

It's the only way I'll buy a boat!

What a great Company. If you're in the Upper Midwest, you cannot go wrong with Team Forde. David and Edith were fantastic in their communication and their knowledge. I have bought many boats. I've never had a better experience. Harley at the closing office is a True Professional at her job and took care of every detail. I'll never use anyone but Popyacts going forward! Thanks for making our new dream come true!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful review of Pop Yachts and specifically Team Forde & Harley. We are thrilled to hear that we were able to help make your boat buying experience as stress-free as possible. Thank you for choosing Pop Yachts to help your new dream come true! Your feedback and your recommendation mean the world to us, and we will be sure to pass it along to the team. We look forward to serving you again in the future. Happy boating!!

Finally received a death certificate from the seller

They are very interested in selling the boat, calling you to check if you have any questions on wiring money. But they don't spend time on the details. It's been almost 3 months and I don't have clear titles. Instead of the 70 plus pictures they sent of the boat I wish they would have done research to see if the seller had clear titles 10/2/23 After notifying BBB of Florida and writing this review POPs contacted the seller and finally were able to procure a death certificate. As of this time it has been submitted to Illinois DMV waiting on new title in my name and plates for the trailer. This could have easily been prevented by the broker checking for clear, assigned titles on both the boat and trailer.

Date of experience : 25 September 2023

Hi John, thank you for taking the time to provide us feedback on your boat purchase through Pop. We would like to research the details of your purchase. Titles, especially when liens and several states with different laws are involved, can take time. Banks and government agencies have procedures that they follow, and occasionally paperwork gets caught up in red tape beyond our control. We only list boats for sale that have verifiable paperwork, including clean titles. In fact, each listing goes through 3 levels of quality assurance to prevent us from selling boats without the proper documentation. Please reach out to [email protected] and we will get management involved to ensure that we provide you with everything that you need as soon as possible. We are sorry for any inconvenience and frustration this has caused, and we genuinely want to try to rectify it in any way possible. Thank you.

Frustrating title process!

Bought our RV thru PopRVs in 2/22. Our salesman was great and super responsive, but the good service ended there. It is now end of 7/22 & we still haven’t gotten our registration or title. After numerous phone convos, emails, texts, still nothing! Inspection due in weeks but we have no proof of ownership.

Date of experience : 17 July 2022

Mary Lou, we appreciate your feedback. Immediately following your March closing, we confirmed that your lender would be handling the title and registration. It is customary for the lender to prepare these documents, as the title reflects their lien position until you repay the loan in full. We are sorry that the lender has not yet delivered the documents. A member of our management team has reached out to your lender on your behalf and will send you an update.

Excellent experience with my Pops RV…

Excellent experience with my Pops RV purchase team - Shane, Steve & Ana. They answered every question - helped me locate local inspectors- get the coach hooked up for Inspection, and Steve remained on-site while they were there. Shane called former owners to get answers to my questions- Steve helped arrange storage and transport. Ana walked me through closing process. Great team! Five star pros!

Impressive!

Pop RVs is an impressive resource for exploring the pre owned RV market. Wide variety of listings. Friendly people, good communication, helpful advice. Professional closing services. No fees up front. We want to replace camping with travel and are listing our 2018 travel trailer with Pop. We will then use them to buy a recent model class B or B+.

Very Pleasant Experience

Pop RV -We worked with Trey Ricard & Bob Reilly (local agent) to try to sell our class B 2015 Roadtrek CS Adventurous. They were both very prompt and efficient in replying to our calls, emails & texts. We found a buyer (our neighbor) before they could produce a buyer. However, we were very pleased with the service and would highly recommend Pop RV if you need to sell your vehicle, whatever it may be.

Date of experience : 13 February 2023

Thank you for sharing your experience with Pop RVs and for considering us for selling your 2015 Roadtrek CS Adventurous. We are glad to hear that Trey and Bob provided prompt and efficient communication and service throughout the process, even though you found a buyer on your own. We appreciate your recommendation and hope you will keep us in mind for any future RV needs.

Bought a 2010 Andros Bonefish 22

Bought a 2010 Andros Bonefish 22. Pop Yachts Reps (Cindy, Hannah, and Mike) were all OUTSTANDING as well as Rock Solid Funding for financing. If your looking for a boat I’d highly Recommend them, they made the process as seamless as possible and responded within minutes if I had a question of concern. Do yourself a favor and use Pop Yachts for your boat purchases, I will definitely use them again if I buy another boat in the future.

Very unfortunate experience with my sales Rep Ralph Palmisano. All i did was ask that he remove my email from the email distribution list and i got several nasty replies. Many other platforms to sell your RV. I wish there was a way i can attach pics of text messages.

Michelle, we are very sorry to hear this. We strive to make it very easy for customers to receive and opt out of our email notifications. We apologize that was not the case for you. We have escalated this to management to be sure no one else has a similar experience. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope that you will reconsider using Pop RVs in the future.

I hired Jeff in Bay Area to sell my boat. He instead supported me and sell my boat …he supported his friends in boatyard. Jeff burger is not good sells person but a good lire. I didn’t have trust to him and he was not reliable sells person. I didn’t have good experience and wasted my time for almost one year with this company and do not recommend. Just advertising by yourself and don’t wast your time

Rose, we are sorry that we could not find buyers for your boats. We did advertise your boats online, and true to our name Pop (Paid on performance), we did not charge you any money for those efforts. We wish you the best of luck in selling your boats.

Put my mind at ease

I was nervous about purchasing a used RV from out of state! The staff at Pop RV helped put my mind at ease throughout the process by being quick to respond, providing detailed responses to my questions, carefully walking me through the process, and keeping me advised of progress toward release of title after closing. Well worth the closing fee to work with people who are knowledgeable and helpful. Big thanks to Brandon, Tracy, and Shane!

Pop Yachts and Sonny provided a great experience with selling my boat. Their marketing and outreach is superior. They qualify potential buyers and provide the serious buyers with verified funds. My boat was sold within two months during the off season for boating. Sonny and the team did a great job. Would definitely list or purchased form Pop and Sonny again

I contacted Paul Albert to sell our xpress skiff. He immediately got back to us and came by the next morning to take pictures, videos, and make an amazing advertisement.

Thanks, Jami! It was our pleasure assisting with your skiff, and we appreciate the recommendation for Paul. All the best in your next adventures!

Terrible listing experience with sales rep

I listed my boat with Pop Yachts and I had a terrible experience with the listing agent. I received over 40 "buyer registration" and never had one person see it. The listing agent would never respond to emails and neither did thier supervisor. It was a total waste of time while watching the market come down in price!

Buyer Beware

17 hour drive: Check Engine Light and ABS warnings. 1300+ hours on old, rusty generator, dead batteries, broken, missing items, unkempt, filthy. Waste of time, gas, energy, $$.

We appreciate your feedback. Pop takes pride in accurate listings, and we are sorry that you were disappointed with your showing. The 2005 Sunseeker which caught your attention was a new listing, with photos and video provided by the seller. A member of our management team will contact you to further explore your experience. Thanks.

From beginning to end POP RVs has been exceptional with communicating to me the selling status of my RV. I've spoken with their various departments from coast-to-coast and have never even had one dropped call. We have employed PDF's, phone messages, phone calls, emails, and electronic signatures; all without a single hiccup. I've haven't met one employee in person. To me that's pretty amazing and shows the versatility and knowledge they've created in their marketing program. I'm very impressed and I have a degree in Advertising and Marketing. I would use POP RVs in the future - without question. Randy V.

Fantastic! It was our pleasure to introduce your Sightseer to that just-right buyer. Your kind words about our professional team and processes capture exactly what we strive to do every single day. Thanks, and all the best in your next adventures.

We WERE supposed to close today. We did not.

I've been TRYING to purchase through Pop Yachts since August 27th! I've been re-assigned 3 closing agents, 1 director of closing, 2 boat brokers, ............ we WERE supposed to close on Thurs the 13th (ie. "today" before Midnight) It is almost like they just DO NOT WANT to make a sale nor do they act like the know how to sell anything. They have come up with every excuse in the book as to why *I* am more concerned with getting the ball rolling/us-going with each step than they are..... to my knowledge, the ONLY thing that they have done thus far, is presented my offer to the seller/owner (who accepted), drafted a tentative agreement, and now playing Pass-The-Buck Email-style!!!!!!!! I am trying to find boats NOT listed with Pop Yachts at this point!!!!! #SoFrustrated They are SUPER TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL!

Our experience with using PopRV as our broker in the recent RV purchase was excellent. They truly did not miss a detail and the level of communication was high.

Found our travel trailer!

So I was hesitant to go through Pop Rv, I knew nothing about online travel trailer brokers, but it was really amazing! I really don’t have any cons to using PopRv. From my first contact with Shane, to the closing with Harley and Brett it was professional, timely and hassle free! They were willing to talk us through the whole process and answer all of our questions and concerns in a very timely manner. I would recommend this group anytime! Thank y’all so much

Thank you so much for the great review. We are so happy to hear that you found the perfect travel trailer through Pop. We are pleased that the Pop Team helped you through the whole process and put your hesitation at ease. We appreciate the recommendation very much and hope to work with you again in the future. Wishing you many great adventures in your new travel trailer!

Perfect transaction!

If you're the seller of a moderate-to-high-end vessel, the challenge is getting your vessel in front of the right buyer (who most often will not be anywhere near your market). POP Yachts is UNIQUELY built to do just this. Seamless process, professional and courteous staff, and in my case a full $10K more than I could get in my geographic area. WIN/WIN. Worth every dime.

A look at the most expensive superyachts at the Palm Beach yacht show and their insane features, from basketball courts on deck to ice baths and saunas

• The Palm Beach International Boat Show kicks off later this week.
• Eight megayachts are expected to be on display for would-be buyers and charter customers.
• These are the show's biggest yachts — and how many millions of dollars they are going for.

The Palm Beach International Boat Show — the yacht world's flashiest event stateside — is returning this year with over 800 boats for both deep-pocked potential owners and window shoppers to peruse.

While it's impossible to know what exactly will be on display until the show begins on Thursday, it's expected that eight megayachts — generally defined as ships over 60 meters long — will be docked at the show and at nearby marinas like the Rybovich Marina in the ritzy Florida town.

Some of these are for sale at eye-popping prices, but others are available to if in case you fancy living like a billionaire for a week or two this summer (and if you have six figures to spare on a vacation).

These are the eight biggest yachts that will be at the Palm Beach International Boat Show and nearby marinas, in size order.

Nero: 90.1 meters

Price: From $497,000 a week (charter) Standout features: Pizza ovens, beauty salon, massage room, resistance pool

Reportedly owned by Irish billionaire Denis O'Brien, Nero is modeled after J.P. Morgan's 1930s ship , and was built in 2007 and updated in 2021.

She now boasts a gym on her sundeck with multiple cardio machines and a beauty salon, and has an on-board beautician for manicure, pedicure, hair, and massage needs. There's also an upgraded movie theater, two new pizza ovens, and both a pool and a jacuzzi.

For those who want to go overboard, she has more than a dozen toys, including a waterslide, Jet Ski, and flyboard.

Victorious: 85 meters

Price: From $876,600 a week in the summer and $950,000 a week in the winter Standout features: Hammam (Turkish bath), wine cellar, wood-burning fireplace, children's playroom

Victorious brings a party vibe to the yacht show. With a beach club on board, a wine cellar, a cigar clubroom , multiple bars, and a lounge with a piano, the vessel is made for entertaining. Plus, there's a playroom and movie theater to entertain the kids.

For tamer charter clients, Victorious has a suite of wellness features such as a gym, massage room, beauty salon and hammam, or Turkish bath — perhaps a custom request of her owner, Turkish businessman Vural Ak.

She also boasts a treasure trove of water toys, including Jet Skis, jetsurfs, inflatable kayaks, and scuba equipment.

Casino Royale: 72 meters

Price: TBD Special Features: Infinity pool, helipad, private jacuzzi

Purchased and refitted by car dealer magnate John Staluppi last year, Casino Royale is the latest of his James Bond-inspired yachts (he's also owned an Octopussy and a Skyfall, among others).

Casino Royale has a helipad that turns into a dancefloor, an infinity pool, and a wellness center with a gym and sauna. The owner's cabin has its own deck, which features a private bar and jacuzzi.

However, the boat's price isn't listed, and while she's not necessarily officially for sale, that might change depending on who's prepared to buy, Mr. Bond.

Talisman C: 70.6 meters

Price: $60 million (or from $567,000 a week to charter) Special features: Massage and beauty room, private library

Likely the largest yacht for sale (not just charter) at the show, the Talisman C is a 2011 six-bedroom boat. The owner's cabin comes with an en suite bathroom, dressing room, private library, and crystal chandeliers.

Amenities include a gym, a beauty room, oversized jacuzzi, and a fully equipped bar. Her crew of 19 includes a trained masseuse, and the toy room comes equipped with a wakeboard, eFoil , and WaveRunners.

Joy: 70 meters

Price: From $650,000 a week Special features: Disco club, basketball court, onboard fitness instructor

Superyacht Joy testifies to the fact that owners want as many on-board experiences as they can get.

There's an expansive suite of fitness features, including a basketball court (don't shoot that hoop too hard!), a personal trainer on staff, boxing equipment, and a handful of machines. For post-workout winddowns, there's a spa with a steam room and onboard masseuse. And for entertainment, there's both an outdoor and indoor cinema, and a disco club.

Triumph: 65.4 meters

Price: From $707,600 a week in the summer and $650,000 a week in the winter Special features: Sauna, helipad, banana boat

This 2021 superyacht is named after Triumph motorcycles — a reported favorite of her rumored owner, British businessman Chris Dawson — and even has one on display as an art piece in the upper deck's lounge. The primary suite is 1,400 square feet and has its own study , and there's a sauna, an indoor-outdoor gym, a helipad, and a massage room spread among her six decks.

She boasts an "armada of water toys," including two kinds of Jet Skis, electric water bikes, and a banana boat.

Seanna: 64.5 meters

Price: $54,000,000 (or from $462,000 a week to charter) Special features: marble foyer, movie room, sundeck pool

The recently refurbished Seanna is available for sale and charter.

Her indoor-outdoor gym is on sea level so that passengers can take a dip after a session with the onboard personal trainer. There's also a sundeck pool, a helipad, a two-room massage facility, and, for the more cerebral guests, a library with an electric fireplace.

There are a number of toys on board, including a popular water trampoline and two WaveRunners.

Come Together: 60 meters

Price: $65,000,000 Special Features: DJ and videographer on board, ice bath, sauna

Next-to-new yacht Come Together is looking for a new owner after doing charters during the 2023 season.

The Beatles' influence is evident beyond the yacht's name, with guitars dotting the sky lounge and a crewmember who doubles as a DJ. There's also an outdoor cinema and bar for entertainment and an ice bath and sauna for the day after the party. The owner's suite has a private study and lounge, and each guest cabin has its own ensuite.

The sale includes a number of toys, like Jet Skis, kayaks, and Seabobs.
