At First Mates, the most important thing is to get your boat sold! Unlike traditional brokers, we are a one stop shop to handle every phase of the selling process: in-house service department to take care of any issues that you would like to fix before you sell, in-house finance department to keep buyers in direct communication with us and help close deals, in-house documentation department to handle all registration and titling paperwork, and in-house marketing department to make your boat stand out from the rest. Our eight brokers cover the Coastal Carolinas and will work with each seller to agree to a custom commission rate or flat amount before we list your boat. ​​
