Buy or Sell Your Vessel

Buying or selling a yacht is a significant investment — and it deserves more than a transactional brokerage experience. At Barrette Yacht Sales & Management, we provide personalized yacht brokerage services throughout Ventura, the Channel Islands Harbor, Santa Barbara, and the greater Southern California coast.

Every yacht sale is personally led from start to finish by Capt. Ray Barrette, an experienced yacht broker and licensed captain with decades of hands-on maritime expertise. His captain’s perspective allows him to evaluate yachts not only for appearance, but for seaworthiness, systems integrity, performance history, and long-term ownership realities.

For buyers searching for yachts for sale in Ventura or along the Santa Barbara coastline, this depth of knowledge ensures confident, well-informed decisions. For owners looking to sell a yacht, Ray provides accurate valuation, strategic positioning, and high-impact marketing designed to attract serious, qualified buyers.

With a successful background in commercial real estate, Ray brings disciplined negotiation skills and transaction experience to every yacht brokerage engagement. From professional pricing analysis and listing preparation to marketing, sea trials, surveys, contract negotiations, and closing, each step of the yacht sales process is handled with clarity, transparency, and direct personal involvement — never delegated to junior staff.

Whether you are looking to buy a yacht, sell your yacht, or explore available yachts for sale in Southern California, you will work directly with Ray throughout the entire process. For clients seeking to enhance presentation prior to listing, Anna’s yacht staging and design services elevate visual appeal and maximize market impact.

At Barrette Yacht Sales, we believe yacht ownership should feel informed, seamless, and rewarding. Our commitment is simple: provide expert guidance, honest counsel, and a refined yacht buying and selling experience from first inquiry to final signature.
