Not every boat sale requires a complex strategy. Sometimes, the right vessel at the right price simply sells-and that's exactly what happened with this 2017 Tidewater 220CC.
The Tidewater 220CC is a no-nonsense center console built for South Florida's inshore and nearshore fishing grounds. Light on beam, efficient on fuel, and practical in layout, it's the kind of boat that appeals to local anglers who fish seriously and regularly. The 2017 model presented by Miami Yachting carried low hours, a recent engine service, and a clean bilge-hallmarks of a boat that had been owned by someone who truly cared for it.
The seller-downsizing after purchasing a larger offshore fishing platform-wanted a clean, straightforward sale. Miami Yachting listed the vessel at $45,000 USD, a price that reflected market reality for a 2017 220CC in strong condition without overpricing for wishful thinking.
The listing went live across Boat Trader and Boats.com, supported by clean photography and a spec-accurate description. Within the first week, Miami Yachting fielded calls from three separate buyers. The most serious-a weekend inshore angler from Broward County who had been looking at 220-class center consoles for several months-arranged a showing within days. He liked what he saw. A quick pre-purchase inspection confirmed the boat's condition, and a final price of $40,000 USD was agreed upon. From listing to closing: 38 days.
Efficient brokerage doesn't require complexity. It requires accurate pricing, honest marketing, and responsive service. Miami Yachting delivered all three for this transaction-and the seller moved on to their next chapter without delay.
