Dream Big. Buy Right.
You deserve the yacht that both fits your needs and fulfills your dreams. Rapide finds it for you and offers the best buying experience in yachting. As a Rapide client, you have access to the entirety of the market, from having the best access to premium high-performance yachts and the security of true pricing confidence to the advantage of our unparalleled expertise and focus.
Sell With Confidence.
When it’s time to sell, focus matters most
Some brokerages get distracted – building new boats, managing maintenance, running boat yards and staff. How does that get you the best price for your yacht? It doesn’t. Rapide specializes in selling premium high-performance yachts. When you focus on one thing for a while, you get good. When you focus on that one thing for decades, you become the best.
