How We Help You Buy a Yacht

HTB Yachting provides professional, independent support for yacht buyers at every stage of ownership — from initial search and evaluation to training, inspection, and delivery.
We work with private buyers worldwide and focus on practical decision-making, transparency, and real operational experience.

Our role is to represent the buyer’s interests and help avoid costly mistakes often made when purchasing or operating a yacht without proper guidance.

Yacht Buying Assistance

Choosing the right yacht involves more than selecting a model or responding to an online listing. We assist clients throughout the entire buying process, helping them evaluate options based on intended use, budget, location, and long-term ownership considerations.

Our services include:
   •    Yacht selection and market analysis
   •    Review of listings and pricing
   •    Communication with brokers and sellers
   •    Documentation and ownership checks
   •    Practical assessment of condition and value

We provide objective advice and support informed decision-making, without sales pressure or hidden incentives.

Skipper Training

For new yacht owners, practical experience and confidence are essential. We offer skipper training tailored specifically for owners who plan to operate their own yachts.

Training focuses on:
   •    Real-world yacht handling
   •    Safety procedures and passage planning
   •    Operating systems and onboard equipment
   •    Preparation for independent sailing

Training is conducted separately from yacht delivery and takes place on the client’s own vessel or during dedicated training programs in our operating locations, including Norway and Greece, ensuring focused and practical learning in a controlled environment.

Certification & Standards

HTB Yachting is an independently operated training center that delivers courses certified by International Yacht Training (IYT).

We have chosen IYT as our certification partner because their programs meet internationally recognized training standards and are accepted by charter companies worldwide.

Yacht Inspections

Before purchasing a yacht, a professional inspection is essential to understand its true condition and future maintenance requirements.

Our inspection service includes:
   •    Visual and technical assessment
   •    Identification of structural and equipment issues
   •    Photo documentation and written report
   •    Clear recommendations prior to purchase

The goal is to provide a realistic overview of the yacht’s condition and help clients make informed decisions before committing.

⸻

Yacht Delivery

We organize and conduct yacht deliveries across Europe, ensuring vessels are safely prepared and professionally operated during the passage.

Delivery services include:
   •    Route planning and scheduling
   •    Cost and time estimation
   •    Technical preparation before departure
   •    Safe handover to the owner

Delivery can be combined with owner participation and training, allowing clients to gain experience on their own yacht under professional guidance.
