Many, many boats listed with POP, many, many individuals as brokers with POP. Most of their boats were rather ratty, their responses weren't timely, I never looked at any of their boats physically. IDK what their business model is, but I wasn't impressed. | | | 29-12-2020, 09:02 | | | (to FL) and again advised the broker (a different one) what day they would be here to see the boat. Well, in the meantime the broker scheduled himself to accompany a potential buyer for another boat on a sea trial, and instead of getting another broker to show the boat or simply letting the couple come to our house (boat is on a behind out house), he simply said that they would have to wait! Now, the prospective buyers for my boat had already advised the broker that they had already purchased their ticket, and that it was non-refundable. Didn't matter. This couple eventually was able to track me down after their return to , to let me know what was going on with my broker. They also told me and the broker that they were cash buyers. Needless to say, I blew up at this final one and ended my arrangement with POP Yachts & RVs. They are, in my personal experience, a horrible company to deal with and I would not recommend anyone to them. | | | 29-12-2020, 09:21 | | Boat: 38" Sailboat | . Again look at the listings. All the listings should have good pictures and information, the boat should be neat and orderly in the pictures and not a mess. If the listings are subpar, you will not get many buyers and most will be bottom feeders. This should allow you to narrow your selection. Then go talk with the brokers, bring a binder with pictures and information on your boat, and an idea of what you would like to sell it for. Talk to everybody on your list before making a decision. When you talk to them try to find one you like and feel us honest and not just blowing smoke. They should tell you everything you will be expected to do in the selling process also. Brokers though are a lot like car salesmen, most should have their business license on display, and when you complete your deal everything should go through a reputable escrow agent. | | | 29-12-2020, 09:49 | | | are boats the owner tries to sell himself - no luck - mostly because overpriced or in bad shape - boats a professional broker wont take - POP takes them - jacks the price up - does take a lot of pics and waits for an ill informed buyer comes along - you might get a deal - but read the reviews - the whole enterprise sounds unprofessional - regular brokers are bad enough - these guys seem to take the incompetence to an entire new level - run away. | | | 29-12-2020, 11:04 | | | and somehow convince the owner that what they listed the boat for plus Pop's commision is a reasonable asking price !!!

I have my boat listed on Ebay, CL, here on Cruisers Forum, Yachtworld, Sailboat Listings and POP. None of these listing agents, including POP, have altered my price, pics or description. Stating that POP "jacks the price" or takes mostly "overpriced or in bad shape" are both erroneous in my case. POP has sent me weekly viewer reports for probably a year, and they are quite detailed. It is a little annoying for browsers on POP to have to enter an to see all the photos, but this is propably how to watch which boats you click and peruse. Ebay does something similar on my listing, because they show me how many views and watchers I have. POP has now found a buyer, facilitated the buyer and his surveyor aboard, has collected an escrow deposit, and scheduled the sea trial and due date. My treasured is about to accompany the new owners around the world, and doing Ted Brewer's design proud. | Thread Tools | | Rate This Thread | : | Posting Rules | post new threads post replies post attachments edit your posts is are code is are are are | Similar Threads | Thread | Thread Starter | Forum | Replies | Last Post | | Welschrisby | Cruising News & Events | 27 | 28-06-2020 12:31 | | deckofficer | Flotsam & Sailing Miscellany | 6 | 15-01-2012 02:33 | | David_Old_Jersey | Construction, Maintenance & Refit | 11 | 23-10-2011 11:13 | Privacy Guaranteed - your email is never shared with anyone, opt out any time.

September 15, 2023. 0. The Pop Yachts lawsuit has captured the attention of both seasoned boat sellers and first-time buyers. In essence, it involves allegations of misrepresentation, breach of contract, and other legal issues related to boat sales facilitated by the prominent brokerage, Pop Yachts. As we delve deeper into this article, we will ...
POP Yachts lists it for $90000. Thats how they make their commission. The difference is pop yachts goes out and takes detailed pics of every single surface of the boat - well over 100 pictures. the buyer will have a much better idea of the boat than my 20 odd CL pictures. They also check the specs and go over them.
However, whether POP Yachts is a scam or not probably isn't actually that interesting for most consumers out there. Instead, what most of them are really interested in is whether POP Yachts can be trusted to provide them with their desired service or not, in which case, the answer is at best a "maybe, maybe not.".
Long story short, after the sale, the coast guard said otherwise when I went to register ownership change. Pop Yachts sent over the bankruptcy paperwork to the US Coast Guard who said it was false and to contact the bank. It turns out the seller altered bankruptcy paperwork and committed fraud. I've been told Pop Yachts is now on the hook.
1011 posts · Joined 2001. #27 · Apr 29, 2019. Curiously, I just got an email from a Pop Yachts scammer broker in Bradenton, and the boat is on Craigslist in Maine. Wanted to get my phone number so he could "call and explain the process." Said he wanted to market the boat and charge any fees to the buyer.
It is important to remember that you have a right to bring legal action against the owner of a yacht even after a sale. This is especially true if there were damages to the vessel. This is called a "damages" judgment. It can be grounds for a successful lawsuit. Many people have successfully brought these types of lawsuits against the owners ...

POP Yachts or anyone else, the broker is going to try to sell you a boat if you're in the market. By contacting them you're saying you're in the market. If you're not interested anymore just tell them that. They won't waste their time on you anymore. 8.
The POP agents maintained contact with me several times each day until we found a solution around the situation. Without the glitch, from day 1 to possession would have been 7 or 8 days; with the glitch it was 10 days. I'll 100% use POP in the future! Date of experience: July 26, 2024. Reply from popsells.com.

Anyone considering using POP Yachts. I recommend you avoid them like the plague! I bought a boat from them months ago and the experience has gone from bad to worse. They pretend to be professional and experienced but when it comes time for the rubber to meet the road, they fall flat! I am currently unable to register my boat because they cannot ...
How does Pop Yachts work? I am looking ot buy a cheap boat off of Craiglist or similar. I have heard that Pop Yachts cruises those type of websites, and hits up owners to list with them with the propisiton that Pop Yachts will charge a commission if they find the buyer, but no commission if the seller finds the buyer themselves.

Let me be quite clear - every single positive review of this company on this website is a fake planted by POP Yachts. This company is a scam, management are lying thieves, and the whole thing is a racket to squeeze money out of dim-bulb boat buyers stupid enough to but lousy vessels that can't be sold by normal methods.

with reasonable notice to Seller by POP. Seller agrees to operate Vessel or provide a licensed captain or agent at the time of trial run. No trial runs will be scheduled by POP without having a signed Purchase and Sale Agreement and a deposit from buyer. 7. To notify POP of any encumbrances or liens against Vessel. C. POP agrees to the following:
POP Yachts have since told the owner that I have not made an offer, which is untrue. As I understand it, the seller is going to remove his vessel from the POP Yachts listing as he has lost a sale and he had no idea that potential buyers were being asked to pay for the privilage of buying his boat when he was paying the customary fee for the ...
