Reduce Your Risk! Purchase the Right Boat with the Right Team
IF ONLY SEARCHING ONLINE, YOU'RE MISSING THE BEST BOAT OPPORTUNITIES
Online listings are just the surface of the market. Many of the best opportunities are never advertised — they’re sourced through private networks, trade-ins, and exclusive broker connections. J Brothers ensures you don’t miss them.
WHAT YOU SEE IS JUST THE BEGINNING
What you see on our site is only the beginning. Public listings show just a portion of the boats available in the market. As licensed Florida yacht brokers, we give you access to off-market opportunities, private owner listings, and trade-ins that never hit the open web. Our network, experience, and buyer representation ensure you don’t just see what everyone else sees — you see the full picture and get the best opportunities first.
We can do a deeper dive, but first... Get a quick boat market snapshot.
Looking for a specific boat but not sure where to start? Unsure what’s active on the market or what a fair price looks like? We can help. Get a quick market review tailored to your boat search and move forward with confidence.

VIP BOAT BUYING EXPERIENCE FAQ
Q: Do I need a yacht broker when buying a boat or yacht?
Yes. Buying a yacht is one of life’s biggest investments, and a broker protects you from overpaying, missing hidden issues, or wasting time on the wrong boats. With J Brothers, you also gain access to off-market opportunities and expert negotiation that most buyers never see.
Q: How does a Yacht Broker get paid?
n most cases, the seller pays the broker commission at closing. That means as a buyer, you benefit from full representation, market expertise, and professional guidance without adding cost to your purchase.
Q: Can I use J Brothers to source my next boat without joining the VIP Program?
Yes, we can assist buyers outside the VIP Program. However, Compass VIP clients receive priority representation, access to off-market listings, negotiation advantages, and closing bonuses not available through standard buyer services.
Q: Is my commitment fee applied toward the boat purchase?
Absolutely. Your commitment fee is fully credited at closing and applied directly toward your vessel purchase. Plus, Compass VIP clients earn exclusive bonuses as an added thank-you for choosing our team.
Q: What happens to my commitment fee if I don't buy a boat using J Brothers?
While the commitment fee is non-refundable, our proactive search means we invest time and resources on your behalf—even if you choose another path later.

Micheal Johnson was amazing. He made sure the boat was always showing at its best, introduced me to contractors when updates and repairs were needed, checked in on the boat periodically, particularly after bad weather.
