FOR SALE IN LA CONNER OR SHELTER BAY?
All of our boat listings are located in La Conner or Shelter Bay and no appointments are necessary for viewing. If your boat is here in La Conner or Shelter Bay, we invite you to consider listing your boat with La Conner Yacht Sales. All of our listings are here in the La Conner area as history indicates customers appreciate the one-stop shopping experience. We are fully, and properly licensed, bonded and insured. We co-broker our listings with cooperative brokerages on a 50/50-commission split, allowing further exposure for each listing.
PRINT AND ON-LINE ADVERTISING?
We place print ads each month in popular yachting magazines as well as on line. La Conner Yacht Sales has had a 55' Alaskan for sale through this office that has sold three times since 1998, her first and second sales were due to our website and her last sale was due to an ad we had in a magazine. Thousands of magazines are purchased or given complimentary to prospective buyers who wish to have reading material on board, at home or at the office. We have found that integrated marketing strategies gives our customers the comfort of knowing their boat is being marketed responsibly and effectively.
WEB SITE PRODUCT MARKETING?
We provide extensive specifications and impressive photo galleries on our web site for EVERY listing. Buyers have expressed their appreciation of the detailed information and the wide selection of photos that can be found on our site. Buyers and sellers value the extra effort made by La Conner Yacht Sales to market and represent boats in such a detailed, professional manner.
REPEAT SALES?
Many of our sales are boats that have been previously sold by La Conner Yacht Sales. Some once, twice and even as many as four times! We have remained steadfast and focused in the same marine business and understand the responsibility of working as a mediator with professional, legal and ethical standards.
