Dealers Commisions

What is the standard commision earned by a dealer on a large yacht I have heard that 20% is fairly standard, does this ring true?

By commisioning a similar custom yacht will I save this or will the savings be taken by design fees etc?

I was considering the sunseekers largest model.

Thanks

Jon

Never heard of a 20% commission on a large yacht. As an independent broker you can have 5% on a new construction where you have to spend a lot of time and travel expenses during construction.

On design fees, you are saving more than you pay if you have the right designer...

From the left side of the pond, it's like Lars said: 5% commish.

New build 5 %
Used Boats normally 10% ( mostly split between Owners broker and sellers broker )
Sometimes seller fix a net sales price and the broker put his money on top.

Make an offer of 70 % of the first asking price and wait
