ZERO IN ON YOUR YACHT WITH US.
We are a collective of unique personalities that have realized that just because you have money doesn’t mean you should waste money.
We believe that no sane person would ever buy a yacht but if you were, you wouldn’t be in a position to do so.
We know that assisting our clients in avoiding pitfalls and protecting their money as if it were our own, aligns you to a better yachting experience.
Chris Mortimer, Yacht Zero Principal
“No rational man would ever buy a yacht, but no rational man is ever in the position to buy a yacht. It’s a full contact sport and a lot can go wrong but with the right system and expecations, there’s nothing more enjoyable.”

Our StoryTHE YACHT ZERO STORY IN SHORT, WAS A REALIZATION THAT BUYING A YACHT SYSTEMATICALLY FAVORS SELLERS AND WE WANTED TO ARM THE UNDER DOG FOR WAR.
In a digital era where you can research almost anything, Chris hypothesized that you can learn how to do anything on YouTube except get the truth about yachts because every video or blog is posted about how great everything is when in reality, everyone has heard the saying the best day of owning a boat is the day your buy it and the day you sell it. He then told his colleagues that he was going to create a YouTube channel as anyone’s yacht research ultimately points there, where he would authentically and transparently discuss pricing, mistakes and become an ally to buyers - - all of those colleagues told him it was the dumbest idea they ever heard as that doesn’t get you listings which you need in this business to be successful.
Fast forward 10 years, we’ve done 150+ transactions eclipsing $100M, we have team members on 4 continents, have facilitated deals in 15 countries and have leveraged efficiency from search optimization through ownership efficiency.
We’ve done this quietly for years, serving a incredible collective of clients, and now we’re ready to pour fuel on this fire we’ve started and we’re hoping to be your partner in your acquisition, starting today.
FAQs
What services do you offer?
1
We offer a range of solutions to serve the DIY yacht buyer, the buyer that realizes miscalculations in their search can be costly and even owners that currently own yachts that are quite frankly open to operating more efficiently.
How do I get started?
2
Getting started is simple. Use our yacht calculator tool to tell us a bit about what you’re planning on buying and we can then start sharing with you the information you don’t know.
What makes you different?
3
We don’t think like salesman and we think like owners. We’ve seen every mistake made and don’t want you to get slowed down by avoidable errors for protection of your pocket and peace of mind.
Are you licensed and insured?
4
Our team members are licensed and insured in Florida and California, where we maintain offices. Beyond municipal obligations, we operate with the highest ethical standards and believe in creating clients, not sales.
Who should a buyer have on their team?
5
The best team any yacht buyer can create is headed by a buyer’s broker to protect their financial and administrative interests. They are followed by a captain who provides technical knowledge and contacts to ensure proper maintenance and operation of the vessel. Then comes a survey team that is thorough but fair. After that comes a contact of someone who used to work for the brand of the boat you’re buying but no longer does who is quick to reveal known issues with the vessels. The last is a network of other owners to share their true ownership stories, experiences and horror shows.
How much does it cost?
6
Advisory and good information doesn’t come cheap but luckily a seller pays your advisor through a split of the selling commission. You should expect to pay a deposit based on the value of your vessel for the buyer’s brokers time.
Where do you operate?
7
We have combined to do more than 150+ deals in 5 continents and 18 countries. We are centered on the east and west coast of the USA with offices and flight access to a worldwide canvas.
When should I engage your services?
8
We encourage you to fill out our forms during your research phase. It can take a long time for a buyer to be “ready” but we believe in investing in long term relationships.
