Buying or selling a yacht is a massive milestone, but the process can easily become overwhelming. Between navigating complex paperwork, finding the right audience, and ensuring a boat is truly seaworthy, it’s easy to feel like just another number in a corporate pipeline. It’s no surprise, then, that we get asked all the time to help people on this journey. 

We built Project World Sail Brokerage to offer a different, more personal approach—one rooted in transparency, active sailing experience, and genuine partnership.

Founded on Active, Global Expertise
Project World Sail was founded by JP, a professional sailor who has first hand knowledge of boat ownership and sailing round the world. Our firsthand, real-time knowledge of blue-water cruising, vessel mechanics, and structural integrity means we know exactly what makes a boat safe, reliable, and seaworthy in today's conditions. Over the years we have built and elite, international network of industry professionals, giving our clients exclusive, up-to-the-minute access to the right people and the right vessels anywhere on the planet.

Proactive, High-Impact Marketing
If you are selling your boat, you shouldn’t have to wait around for a buyer to stumble across a standard public listing. We do things differently. Leveraging our powerful, established online presence via Project World Sail, we actively engage with a massive, dedicated community of active buyers and sellers.

  • Targeted Exposure: We don't just wait for buyers; we find them. Our unique marketing strategies use precise targeting to put your boat directly in front of the exact demographic looking for your specific build.

  • Content-Driven Reach: We use modern, dynamic digital marketing to showcase your vessel's true story and capability, ensuring it stands out in a crowded market.

Transparency & Unbiased Advocacy
Many buyers worry that a broker is just trying to push whatever inventory they have on hand. We operate differently. We act as your fiduciary and advocate, not just a salesperson. If a boat has hidden underlying issues, or if it simply isn't the right fit for your experience level or cruising goals, we will tell you straight up. Our reputation is built on honesty, transparency, and keeping sailors safe—not chasing quick commissions.

Seamless Logistics and Lifelong After-Care
The administrative side of the industry—handling international registrations, tax compliance, secure escrow accounts, and survey coordination—is often the most stressful part for buyers and sellers alike. We manage all of that heavy lifting to keep the process smooth and stress-free.
But our favourite part of the job actually happens after the paperwork is signed. While the industry standard often ends at closing, we view it as the beginning of a long-term relationship.
Our On-Call Promise: Whether it’s six weeks or six years after you buy your boat, we are here for you. If you’re mid-passage and troubleshooting a system, or pulling into a new port in the Pacific or Caribbean and need a local recommendation, you can call us. We’re in this with you for the long haul.

Throughout the entire process, we felt in excellent hands. You were far more than an advisor to us, a true guide through this important phase.

I couldn't be happier with the experience. Jean-Paul was incredibly attentive, patient. His knowledge and clear communication made the entire process seamless and stress-free.

What impressed us most, besides their in-depth expertise and professionalism, was above all their reliability, empathy, and personal support.

Thanks to Jean-Paul's support, my first sailboat purchase was an absolute success. I highly recommend him and Project World Sail to anyone looking to buy a boat. His dedication to customer service is second to none.

What stood out to me the most was his professionalism. He never came across as pushy or overly sales-driven, which is a rarity in the industry. Instead, Jean-Paul took the time to explain the details of the boat, the purchase process, and all the necessary documentation, ensuring I felt confident and informed every step of the way."
