Yachts are a significant investment of your money and time. You need not just the right fit for your needs, but also a yacht that will provide years of trouble free service. Purchasing a used yacht is more than just viewing them in an online listing service. Rice International has 30 years experience in matching clients to yachts and closely examining them for you.

Once we narrow your search to a handful of possible purchases, we will travel to view the boats, speak to the owner, the mechanics, the yard, to find out as much relevant information on the condition and past care as possible. We've worked with many surveyors throughout the USA and Canada and can recommend, if needed, the services of the best in that field. And then review with you the findings and our recommendations.

Rice International is not a broker for the seller. We are YOUR personal boat finder.
