Current Yachts, a new entrant in the yacht brokerage world, has officially launched a platform aimed at transforming how yachts are bought and sold. The Annapolis-based firm introduces a patent-pending service model that replaces traditional 8-10% commissions with transparent flat-rate pricing, while maintaining professional brokerage standards.
Co-founded by marine industry veterans Amanda Haley of Fort Lauderdale, FL, and Maryline Bossar of Annapolis, MD, alongside technical co-founders Jeff Dorso and Sean Walsh, Current Yachts seeks to address long-standing frustrations among yacht sellers and buyers.
“The yacht industry has operated under the same outdated commission model for decades. It was about time we challenged it with a fresh take,” said Haley. “Not only are we offering professional brokerage services at a fraction of the cost, we’re elevating the standard of our profession by giving our clients the most clarity, itemizing our services and explaining the co-brokerage dynamic.”
A distinguishing feature of the Current Yachts approach is the dual-role team supporting each transaction. Every deal pairs a licensed yacht broker with a transaction manager to expedite sales, coordinate showings and surveys, and guide clients through settlement. “With our team approach, we expedite every step of the sale or purchase,” said Bossar. “The seamless communication tools we have built into our process vastly improve accountability to yacht sellers and streamline the entire transaction from listing to closing.”
The platform also includes online tools for listing intake, vessel valuation, payment processing, and soon, real-time analytics and feedback. Sellers retain control over co-brokerage commissions, creating a more efficient marketplace while potentially improving retained equity.
Current Yachts will make its public debut at the 2025 Annapolis Sailboat Show from October 9-12 at booth AB-22. The company will host a press conference Friday, October 10, from 10:30-11:00 AM. Visitors can explore the new brokerage model firsthand and participate in a daily treasure hunt supporting charitable initiatives.
Current Yachts represents a tech-driven alternative to traditional yacht brokerage, combining cost transparency, professional service, and modern platform tools designed for today’s buyers and sellers.
