Whether youāre a broker listing a 65ā Sunseeker or a dealer managing new inventory, a clean and show-ready yacht can make or break the sale.Ā At Anchor Yacht Management, we work alongside brands like Riviera, Absolute, and Chris-Craft to maintain pristine vessels ready for walkthroughs, sea trials, and surveys ā even on short notice.
šø First Impressions Sell Yachts
Buyers decide in seconds. A smudged glass panel or water-spotted teak deck can distract from a yachtās true value. Thatās why regular detailing is crucial ā not just for aesthetics, but for positioning your inventory at its best.
š§½ 1. Weekly Washdowns Keep Inventory Fresh
Removes salt spray, bird droppings, and dock grime
Hand-dried to prevent water spots on stainless and glass
Includes canvas removal/replacement and fender checks
Keeping inventory spotless at all times ensures every spontaneous showing is a confident one.
š§¼ 2. Interior Detailing That Feels Like New
From fresh linens to dust-free cabins, we make sure your yacht smells and feels clean:
Full salon and stateroom detailing
Galley and head sanitization
Vacuuming, fridge restocking, and trash removal
Optional provisioning is also available before VIP showings.
ā 3. Bottom Cleaning = Smoother Sea Trials
When sea trials are planned, divers inspect and clean the hull to reduce drag and maintain top performance. This also ensures:
Clean props and running gear
Zinc inspections
Less chance of vibration or engine strain during the trial
