Established in 1984, Bollman Yachts is a success story in the highly competitive yacht brokerage business, in part due to our location in the yachting capital of the world, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We sell new and used yachts, both power and sail. We offer boats ranging from 40’ to 150’. Bollman Yachts sells millions of dollars worth of boats, yachts, sailboats and megayachts each year, working with people from all over the world on both sides of the transaction.

Success:  The main reason for our success is our staff of hardworking and dedicated Brokers who have over 100 years of combined marine experience (with most brokers averaging 15 years or more). This creates a very diverse, experienced team with each broker contributing their unique knowledge and perspective of the different aspects of the industry. We are proud to have a Sundeer/Deerfoot specialist on staff, as well as the North American and Caribbean agent for Van DeStadt Design residing in our office.

  We work in conjunction with brokers from around the world and place our listings on the two largest international databases, Yacht World and Yacht Council along with Boats.com and MarineSource.com. This affords prospective buyers the ability to search for the perfect vessel themselves.

  Pete Bollman started Bollman Yachts in 1984 and the company has grown from a few key brokers to a firm with ten seasoned brokers. We are strategically located in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, the Venice of America, and the Yachting capital of the world. Most of the yachts of the world are located in the southern waters of Florida, and Bollman Yachts is focused on this marketplace.

  The current owner is Jeff Erdmann, who started with Bollman Yachts in 1987. Jeff purchased the company from Pete Bollman when Pete decided that it was time for him to retire. The brokers of Bollman Yachts are hand selected and hired for their unique expertise in the yacht industry. From blue water sailors, to tournament fishermen, each broker understands and specializes in his or her own area. The yachting market today is so large that we feel this specialization gives us a true advantage in bringing usable knowledge on a variety of vessels to our clients.

Our Newly Remodeled Office

  Bollman Yachts lists new or used, power and sailing yachts, with prices ranging from $200,000 to $6,000,000 dollars, and has established itself as one of the leaders in the Brokerage industry. We did this the old fashioned way, by working hard, doing our research, keeping up with technology in the marketplace and by knowing the ins and outs of marketing our customer’s prized possessions.

  Bollman Yachts corresponds with the numerous other brokerage houses and dealers both foreign and domestic. We use state of the art computer systems to track thousands of vessels, design and maintain our web presence and market yachts through personalized presentations and virtual tours. Yachts that are listed with us get the benefit of instant transmission of specifications to buyers and major brokers throughout the world via the Internet and the group of proprietary listing systems which we are members of.

  Bollman Yachts understands and agrees with the old saying “A picture is worth a thousand words”, and has never been truer than for today’s internet savvy yacht buyers. Bollman has invested thousands of dollars in the best wide angle digital camera equipment to get the highest quality images of our listings inside and out. We have also invested in the IPIX 360 degree virtual tours that allow visitors to our website and to the various listing services to view a virtual image of your boat complete with 360 degree views and the ability to zoom in. This allows potential buyers to ‘view’ a boat, basically a sort of virtual showing. It allows buyers to have a better idea of what they are looking at. Normally a potential buyer would get photos and if he likes what he seas he would have to come and have a showing of the vessel. Often times the vessel isn’t exactly what the client wants, and these virtual tours allow us to make sure when we show the vessel the person is seeing a boat they are truly interested in. This lets us hand over the reigns to a potential buyer, he can research his own vessels and make educated decisions which lead to a better and more efficient buying experience for all parties.
