Yacht Brokers

IPAs are intended to be used by Member Brokers to help market and sell boats. Pre-sale transparency of the condition of a boat, assessed by an independent Marine Technician, is in our experience, a significant contributing factor to achieving a quick sale of a boat.

Member Brokers have access to Marine Technician Members of the MIA, who will undertake IPAs and prepare reports using the MIA’s tailored checklists and online system for creating reports. Marine Technicians charge owners competitive fixed fees for this service, on a scale determined by the length of the boat to be assessed. The IPA system is quick and efficient for brokers to use and follow and is of real benefit to Member Brokers and their customers.

If you are a yacht broker who would like to apply to become a member of the MIA, please complete the Broker Application Form. Membership of the IPA is currently free for brokers.

Broker & Marine Technician Testimonials

IPAs are a tremendous tool when marketing a boat for sale. They help an interested buyer get a clearer idea about a boat they are interested in, which accelerates the entire sale and purchase process. IPAs can give a boat a real edge in a busy marketplace!

Wendy Barker Boatshed Yacht Broker

Over 15 years of selling used boats across the world has shown me that transparency and providing accurate, clear, comprehensive information is the key to finding the right buyer for the right boat, quickly and at the right price. IPAs are an important development in the second-hand yacht and motor boat market, which will make life much easier for sellers and buyers.
