International yacht brokerage and refit specialist, the Berthon Boat Company, has been exclusively chosen by Southampton based Discovery Yachts Ltd as the preferred broker for all pre-owned Discovery Yachts. The new partnership will further enhance Discovery’s existing service to its customers and will open up a new international audience for owners wishing to sell their boats.
New owners purchasing pre-owned Discovery Yachts through Berthon’s brokerage service will also benefit from full support from Discovery Yachts both before and after the purchase, including access to Discovery’s worldwide support team. As well as using their expertise to guide new owners through the purchase process, Berthon will also be able to help sell their existing craft in order to facilitate the purchase of a pre-owned Discovery. Those requiring maintenance or refit work will be able to benefit from Berthon’s extensive and modern boatyard facilities.
Discovery Sales Director, Mark Waterhouse sees the new alliance as a very positive move for both the company and its owners. Commenting he said, “Teaming up with Berthon as our preferred broker means that we are now able to offer our owners access to a first class international brokerage service as well as opening up opportunities around the world for new owners to purchase a Discovery. We will be working closely with Berthon on each sale but is only natural that, with their experience in this field, Berthon will lead the sales process. With a full order book for the Discovery 55 this year and a 20 month waiting list for the new Discovery 67, we anticipate more pre-owned Discoverys coming to the marketplace in the near future so this new partnership is very timely.”
