Pricing
A flat 1% — and only when the deal closes.
Brokers charge five percent of the sale price. We charge one. No listing fees, no subscriptions, no featured placements.If a deal doesn't close, you pay nothing.
Flat 1% · No min · No max
On a $5M sale, a broker would take $250,000. We take only $50,000 — you save $200,000.
Common questions
Answers to what most sellers ask first.
Yes — a flat 1% on completed sales. No listing fees, no subscriptions, no fees if a deal doesn't close. Brokers typically charge 5%, so we save the seller four points.
Every company is checked against national trade registries, fleet ownership confirmed against IMO and class society records, individual identity is verified, and we run continuous AML/sanctions screening. Buyers can't message you until they clear all four checks.
None to start — you can list with just the eight basic questions. To attract serious buyers, we recommend uploading a spec sheet or brochure (most detailed), recent survey reports, and certificates (class, tonnage, registry). Our AI extracts the structured fields from these PDFs and fills the form for you.
We provide an industry-standard NSF MOA template, e-signature ready, with optional escrow integration for the deposit. Both parties sign on-platform. For complex deals, we don't replace your maritime lawyer — but for most straightforward sales, the digital MOA is enough.
You pay nothing. Commission is only charged when an MOA is fully executed and the buyer's deposit is received. If subjects fail, the buyer walks, or you change your mind — there's no fee. List freely; the risk is ours.
Drop a PDF — a spec sheet, brochure, survey report, or any vessel certificate (class, tonnage, registry, load-line, builder's) — and our AI reads the document and extracts the structured fields: IMO, dimensions, tonnage, class society, year built, builder, engine power, capacity, and more. Each extracted value is tagged with its source page so you can verify before publishing.
