Follow Your Passion and Start a Profitable
Sailboat Flipping Business Today
Dear Fellow Sailor,
Ever wish you could ditch the day job and hang around sailboats instead?
Or maybe you need a supplemental income but desire to do something you truly enjoy?
Let me tell you my story.
I've been buying and selling used sailboats for nearly 30 years. It has been my living for as long as I can remember.
I can show you how to do the same.
Buy Underpriced Boats and Sell Them for Full Market Value
There are tons of high-quality boats out there either badly underpriced or poorly marketed. Part of the fun is to find these vessels and scoop them up at bargain prices. I'll show you where to look and how to tell if you have a winner.
And you sure won't make the same mistakes when turning around and selling. You'll know how to set prices properly and how to market the boats aggressively.
In the course, we'll go over how to negotiate effectively as a buyer or seller, how to use financing techniques to maximize our return, and simple tricks to save on expenses, boosting our profits even further.
"I just wanted to say THANK YOU! With your system I was able to pick up a beautiful S2 Yachts sloop for $4,000. My wife and I sailed all summer long, then sold her in October for $18,000 cash. You guys are the BEST!"

All Types of Sailboats
You'll learn proven techniques I've used on a tremendous variety of sailboats across nearly every manufacturer, style, size, age, location, and price range.
This includes everything from the most popular production models, to offshore cruisers, custom and semi-custom yachts, multihulls, and even antiques and classics.
No Fixer-Upper Sailboats
Once you complete the course, you will understand why I steer clear of project boats.
Although there's nothing wrong with the accumulation of "sweat equity", we can't ignore the value of our own time. There are plenty of bargain sailboats out there waiting to be discovered, so it just doesn't make sense to spend months rehabilitating a badly neglected boat.
So we will concentrate on boats in great condition and minimize the time it takes to flip them, pocketing the profit right away and reinvesting that capital in the next boat.
Location Not a Barrier
The principles of buying and selling sailboats are universal, no matter where you live in the USA, Canada, Caribbean, Europe, Australia, South Africa, South America, Asia, Pacific Islands, or anywhere there are sailboats.
Even if you're several hours' drive from the nearest marina, it's still possible to run a buy-and-sell business. You can bunch your appointments together, even if that's just on the weekends.
Save on Expenses
Most of your profits will be enjoyed in the differential between buying cost and selling price, but why not boost profits even further? There's plenty of money to be saved through aggressive expense reduction.
The course provides a number of techniques on how to reduce outfitting, storage, and maintenance bills dramatically - in some cases eliminating them altogether. This will boost our return on investment (ROI) for each flip.
Become Your Own Boss
Buying and selling sailboats can be a lucrative business, whether as a side income or as a full-time endeavor. The course shows you how to start and operate such a business and covers topics such as legal form of business, licensing requirements, insurance issues, financing, and more.
You can launch this business with as little as a few thousand dollars of start-up capital. Then, by achieving a target of 100% return on investment for each buy-and-sell cycle, you could accumulate some serious equity in just a few cycles.
Let's go over an example. If you start out buying an underpriced boat for about $4,000 and then use the sales proceeds to fund the next purchase, you can continue repeating the cycle but with more capital to put to work each time:
|
Boat |
Purchase Price |
Expenses |
Resale Price |
ROI |
|
Catalina 27 |
$3,300 |
$600 |
$8,500 |
118% |
|
Cal 34 |
$6,400 |
$1,700 |
$17,300 |
113% |
|
Morgan 33 |
$13,200 |
$2,300 |
$31,700 |
104% |
|
Tayana 37 |
$25,900 |
$3,500 |
$61,400 |
109% |
|
Beneteau 42 |
$55,000 |
$5,400 |
$120,000 |
99% |
So in just five buy-and-sell cycles, that initial $4,000 investment has been turned into more than $100,000 in equity. That's not a bad living for doing something you enjoy and getting to be around sailboats all the time.
Of course, I don't have to tell you that you don't have to sell that final boat in the series. You could use this method instead to build your way up to your "dream boat" in order to live aboard or go cruising around the world.
You will learn how to:
- Find boats that are greatly underpriced in your market
- Evaluate prospective boats by conducting your own initial pre-survey
- Prepare and market your sailboats for a quick sale at top price
- Save money on both the buying side and selling side by knowing how to negotiate correctly
- Use strategic financing techniques to maximize your ROI on each deal
- Handle all paperwork smoothly and safely, as a buyer or seller
A few more of the letters and emails I've received:
"It had always been our dream to own a Nautor Swan, but we couldn't afford one (without selling the house!). Thanks to your course, we're now on our third Swan, a classic 48, which we paid cash for with the proceeds of the first two. Now we're planning a trip to Europe in the spring..."

"I LOVE IT! Having spent many years in the game myself, I thought I knew just about everything there was to know about buying and selling boats...but your book blew me away! My only question is, where were you 30 years ago?"

"I have just purchased my first sailboat flip. Thank you so much for the resources you've provided in this course. It is one of my most treasured belongings."

The course is available in either electronic or hardcopy format and is packed with ideas, examples, techniques, and little-known "tricks of the trade". And it should be - it's based on three decades of firsthand experience.
Fellow investors keep insisting I should sell this course for $500 or more. They point out that the profit alone on the first flip should be many times this figure. But as you can see, I've set the price for the digital version to be quite reasonable compared to the value of the information:
Full Price: $199
Download Version: $97
If you order today, I'll include three valuable bonuses. Check them out below.
So come aboard and let's get started!
