If you are thinking about selling your boat and want a process that feels considered rather than rushed, Mooloolaba Yacht Brokers is here to help.
Many owners begin with a quick search for “sell my boat” or “sell my yacht” and soon realise that a professional brokerage offers far more than a private advert ever could. We are an established Sunshine Coast yacht brokerage based at Mooloolaba Marina, and since 1985 we have helped owners across South East Queensland and beyond move quality boats and yachts into the right hands. Whether you own a cruising yacht, a motor yacht, a catamaran or a larger pre-owned vessel, our role is to present it well, reach genuine buyers, and guide the sale through to settlement without the stress of going it alone.
Deciding to sell your boat is a significant step, and the way a vessel is marketed makes a real difference to both the result and the experience. Owners who choose to sell their yacht through a professional broker gain access to an experienced team, a qualified buyer network and a process built around premium vessels rather than quick, low-end turnover.

The MYB difference
Operating from Mooloolaba Marina for decades, we understand the local market, the vessels that suit Australian conditions, and the buyers genuinely ready to purchase. Your boat is represented by a name buyers already recognise and trust.
We connect your listing with active buyers across the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, the Whitsundays, Darwin and interstate. Rather than waiting for the right person to stumble across a private advert, your boat is placed in front of people actively looking.
Selling a vessel involves far more than a few photos and an advert. We handle presentation, professional marketing material, fielding enquiries, qualifying buyers and negotiation —the time-consuming parts managed by people who do this every day.
Our specialty
We are particularly well suited to quality and premium vessels. While we are happy to discuss most listings, our experience and buyer network are strongest around the following.
Sail
From coastal cruisers to blue water yachts presented to buyers who value design, rig and cruising history.
Power
Comfort, range and liveability highlighted for buyers ready to step up to a quality vessel.
Multihull
A specific and growing audience our multihull experience positions the vessel to the right people.
Premium
Premium vessels benefit most from professional marketing and qualified buyer handling for the strongest result.
From first conversation to handover
We keep the process clear and supportive from first conversation to final handover. Here is what it generally looks like when you sell your boat through MYB.
01
We start with an honest appraisal and a discussion about realistic pricing, presentation and the current market. This early advice helps set expectations and gives your listing the best chance of attracting serious interest.
02
Good presentation sells boats. We help prepare quality photography, accurate specifications and compelling listing copy so your vessel stands out to the buyers most likely to act.
03
Rather than passing every enquiry straight to you, we manage and qualify interest so your time is spent on genuine buyers. This is one of the most valued parts of choosing to sell your yacht through a broker.
04
From offer and negotiation through to contracts, payment and handover, we guide both parties through the details. Our aim is a smooth, professional settlement that protects your interests at every stage.
The MYB difference
While we are based at Mooloolaba Marina, we regularly help owners well beyond the Sunshine Coast. If you want to sell your boat from another part of Queensland or interstate, we can still help.
As a local Mooloolaba brokerage, we know this market intimately and have strong buyer demand across the Sunshine Coast.
Many of our buyers are based in Brisbane and across SEQ, a natural market for owners looking to sell.
North Queensland is a key cruising region. See our vessels and buyers further north.
We regularly field enquiries from Darwin and interstate. Browse our boats for sale in Darwin or get in touch.
Make the right choice
A private sale can seem appealing, but it often means handling valuations, marketing, viewings, negotiation and paperwork alone frequently while fielding a high volume of low-quality enquiries.
The private-sale reality for larger vessels.
Structure, market knowledge and a qualified buyer network.
Good to know
The value of your boat depends on its make, model, age, condition, equipment and the current market. We provide an honest appraisal based on real buyer demand and comparable vessels, so you have a realistic starting point before you list. The best first step is to request a boat appraisal and have a conversation with our team.
Timeframes vary depending on the type of vessel, its condition, how it is priced and current demand. Well-presented, realistically priced boats and yachts tend to sell more quickly. During your appraisal we will give you a practical sense of the likely timeframe for your particular vessel.
A private sale can work for smaller, simpler vessels, but larger boats, yachts and premium vessels usually benefit from professional brokerage. A broker handles marketing, qualified buyers, negotiation and paperwork, and reaches an established buyer network, which often leads to a smoother sale and a stronger result.
Yes. While we are based at Mooloolaba Marina, we regularly help owners across the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, North Queensland, Darwin and interstate. If you want to sell a yacht from another location, we can discuss the best way to market and manage the sale.
It helps to have details such as the make and model, year, engine hours, key equipment and any recent maintenance or upgrades, along with good photos where possible. If you are not sure what is needed, we can guide you through it. The simplest start is to contact us and we will let you know what to gather.
