Yachting dreams guided by Rapide's expertise

Rapide is an independent brokerage with a client first approach. We put your needs before our own—offering honest, unbiased advice and full access to the global market. Our deep technical expertise and hands-on experience allow us to guide you through every step of the process with clarity and precision. It all begins with a personal consultation to understand your goals, followed by a curated selection of yachts that match your specific program. From negotiation to inspection, contracts to delivery—we’re with you all the way

You can buy a yacht without a broker—but working with a Rapide broker ensures the best possible outcome at no cost to the buyer. Consider it a partnership: we’re on your side from the first conversation through to delivery—and, as with many of our clients, well beyond.

We begin by listening to your goals, then advising on the right brands, models, and specifications to match your needs. If you already have a yacht in mind, chances are we know the ownership history, past sales data, and potential risks—giving you clarity that goes far beyond a listing.

At Rapide, we don’t just show you what’s on the market—we guide you through it with insight, technical understanding, and absolute attention to detail. From identifying the right yachts and arranging viewings to advising on value, negotiating terms, coordinating sea trials, surveys, and even offering insurance support, we manage the entire process so you can focus on the big picture.

Our role is to simplify the process, protect your interests, and deliver the right outcome—whether you’re buying your first yacht or have owned several before.

No, we also advise on and sell both power and performance monohulls. While our specialty lies in high-performance multihulls, our team has extensive experience sailing, operating, and managing a wide range of yachts. As long as we trust the brand and believe in the quality of the vessel, our expertise is fully transferable. Whether it’s one hull or more, we bring the same level of insight, integrity, and hands-on knowledge to every transaction.

Our team comes from a background in high-end multihulls, superyachts, and performance cruising and racing—bringing a disciplined, hands-on approach to every aspect of yacht ownership. From mechanical and house systems to sails, rigging, refits, composites, and maintenance, we understand the technical details that matter. Unlike brokers from production or charter yacht backgrounds, we have firsthand experience operating, managing, refitting and building some of the most advanced multihulls on the water—giving our clients expert insight and a higher standard of service.

Rapide operates globally, with offices and brokers based in the U.S. and Caribbean, and trusted partners in Europe and the Pacific. We’ve successfully completed transactions across the USA, Caribbean, Middle East, and Pacific—giving us a truly international reach backed by local knowledge
