At Manatee Pocket Yacht Sales, we only deal with brokerage boats. Brokers that sell new inventory often confuse a buyer looking for a brokerage boat. They might decide to buy a boat with more warranty or one with no hours instead.

We work hard to facilitate the sale of our listings and to protect and promote the interest of our clients.

· A fair asking price is the key to a timely sale of your boat.

· Your broker can access actual sold yacht data through Soldboats.com, a tool that is not available to the public.

· Understanding current market conditions will assist in better positioning your boat’s pricing

If you live on your boat or take regular, long term trips, then you know that she is constantly needing to be pumped out. If you are here in the Martin County area or just passing through and need your boat pumped out, The M.S. POOP is at your service. The vessel can be reached on VHF marine radio channel 16 or by cell phone at (772) 260-8326. To comply with the mooring standards in the regulated areas of our county, you must have a receipt showing proof of a pump out in the last ten days from an authorized pump out facility or the M.S. POOP.

We are sharing with you our prospects and clients the following information provided by Dockside Marine Service.

Manatee Pocket Yacht Sales suggest to all of our clients to continue to monitor the condition of the bottom or your vessel or better yet arrange for a contract service to assure your boat is ready for operation. Lack of routine maintenance makes selling your vessel difficult. Please contact us for specific questions for getting ready for sea trials and survey.

This following is a GENERAL NOTE intended for everyone’s information and provided by Dockside Marine Service:

Your distance from the Roosevelt Bridge will determine the rate of growth on your boat, Sunset Bay Marina being the fastest growth, then Loggerhead, Apex, Deck, etc. Please know that just 2 weeks after cleaning, your waterline and running gear will be heavily fouled, and your hull will have thick algae at minimum (even on new paint – it just comes off easier). This note has to be sent, as we get a few calls from customers, after boats are hauled, who think we’re not doing our job. In reality, within 4 days of a cleaning, most hulls show growth (the best time to test your running gear is in that 4 day window). After one month, the growth is so thick and healthy. It’s now dangerously sharp, with obstacles under many boats to avoid and the water becomes filthy, while being toxic. We’re trying to keep our rates down, but the weaker your paint is, the faster the growth, the harder it is to scrape off, and the worse it is for the remaining paint. Hope this helps you understand.

Manatee Pocket Yacht Sales is pleased to refer Dockside Marine Services and recommend considering their words to the wise as stated above.
