When it comes to buying or selling a yacht in the Pacific Northwest, the experience you have is just as important as the vessel you choose. At Signature Yachts, we believe our strength lies in the deep relationships we build, the expertise we offer, and the unwavering support we provide at every step of your boating journey.
Whether you’re a first-time sailor or a seasoned cruiser looking for your next adventure, here’s why Signature Yachts stands out as Seattle’s trusted boat brokerage and dealership.
A Legacy of Service on Lake Union
Signature Yachts has been part of Seattle’s boating community for over 30 years. Located on Lake Union, right in the heart of the city’s vibrant waterfront, our marina is more than a place of business, it’s a hub for Northwest boaters, cruisers, and dreamers.
We’re proud to represent some of the world’s most respected brands, including:
• Beneteau sailboats and powerboats
• X Shore 100% electric boats
• A hand-picked selection of quality pre-owned yachts
Whether you're looking for a trawler, a performance cruising sailboat, or something luxurious to enjoy the San Juans, we know how to match you with the right vessel.
A Dedicated Team with Real Boating Experience
What sets our team apart is that we don’t just sell boats, we use them. Our brokers are lifelong sailors, racers, powerboaters, and liveaboards. We've cruised the Inside Passage, crossed oceans, and rafted up at every island in the San Juans. That means you’ll get advice based on real-world knowledge, not just sales training.
You’ll also have a dedicated point of contact throughout the entire process, from initial inquiry to sea trial to after-sale support. We’re here long after the hand-off to help with moorage, commissioning, outfitting, and education.
Support Before, During, and After the Sale
We know buying or selling a boat is a major decision, and we’re committed to making the process clear, enjoyable, and pressure-free. Here’s what you can expect:
• For Buyers:
o Personalized walkthroughs and tours
o Honest, experienced advice (we’ll tell you when a boat isn’t right for you)
o Help with financing, insurance, moorage, and outfitting
o Sea trials and commissioning with hands-on training
• For Sellers:
o Accurate pricing analysis using market data
o Photography and YachtWorld listings
o Access to qualified local and international buyers
o Negotiation support and handling of closing paperwork
More Than a Transaction, A Boating Family
We don’t just hand you keys and send you off, we welcome you into a community. Through owner rendezvous, educational seminars, boat shows, and casual dockside chats, Signature Yachts clients stay connected.
We’ve helped families sail around the world, downsize to powerboats, trade up to performance cruisers, and transition to life on the water. Many of our clients become lifelong friends, and repeat customers.
