Secure boat and yacht closings on the Chesapeake and the East Coast, from contract to keys.
A neutral third party for private sales and brokerage deals. We coordinate the paperwork, the lien search, the escrow and the transfer — so buyers, sellers and brokers can close with confidence.
Buying or selling a boat without a broker?
Protecting buyers. Protecting sellers. Closing with confidence.
Large sums of money, a title that may carry a loan, and a stranger on the other side of the deal. We hold the process together: verify the owner, search for liens, hold the funds in escrow until every condition is met, and file the transfer.
Private-sale questionsBrokers sell. We close.
Your client. Your commission. Our closing expertise.
Hand us the deal at contract and get your team back to listing and selling. We run the closing checklist, coordinate buyer, seller, lender and both brokers, and deliver the completed closing package.

Funds are held in escrow by a law firm and released only when the conditions of the sale are met — not wired to a stranger on a promise.
