Central Listing · San Diego & The West Coast

Sell your yacht with a captain’s eye

Before Paul Simon lists a yacht, he inspects it the way a buyer’s surveyor will. Then Fraser’s global network goes to work finding your buyer.

West Bay SonShip 78 motor yacht Mahana listed and marketed by yacht broker Paul Simon in San Diego

Most listings fail in the first two weeks: priced on hope instead of comparable sales, photographed on a cloudy Tuesday, and presented with deferred maintenance a surveyor will find in an hour.

Paul spent 18 years as a licensed 3,000-ton captain and refit project manager before becoming a broker. He knows exactly what a buyer’s surveyor will flag, what it costs to fix, and what is smarter to disclose and price around. Your yacht goes to market ready, not hopeful.

And because Paul is a sales broker at Fraser Yachts, the world’s largest and longest-established full-service brokerage, your yacht is not marketed to one marina. It is presented to qualified buyers on every continent through 21 offices and 240+ yachting professionals.
