Once the buyer has been given all necessary documentation of ownership, Conexus Marine Brokers will transfer the remaining payment (minus the commission fee) to the seller.

Conexus Marine Brokers will coordinate with a professional boat delivery service to ensure that your boat is safely delivered to the port location you specify. Deliveries will be performed by appropriately licensed captains and crew members who will take all precautions necessary to keep the boat in as-sold condition throughout the journey. Delivery cost will depend on several factors: The time it takes to complete the delivery The number of crew members required to handle the vessel Number of dockings and the fees charged at each port Amount of fuel required for the journey Amount of food and supplies needed for the crew Maintenance tasks that will need to be performed to sustain boat’s condition Before delivery is arranged, CMB will provide you with a quote that details all of this, including plans for the most efficient route. After delivery is completed, the crew will document the boat’s condition upon arrival. Are there any terms upon which Conexus Marine Brokers will void or cancel sales? Buyers may forfeit their “hold” on a vessel and their deposit if the transfer of payments or any other stipulated actions do not take place by the deadlines specified in the sales agreement, and no arrangements have been made to extend these deadlines.
