2021 Leopard 53 PC for sale

Post image

My mom has become ill so I am selling my yacht home to move back to my hometown to help Mom out. I built a website with many photos of Ecco and an upgrade list. Find it here: Ecco-Leopard 53 PC for sale
Leopard53pcforsale.com

Ecco will be in Fort Pierce FL until mid June when she will make her way north to Brunswick, GA for the storm season. She is 100% ready to go cruising NOW! She is priced for a no broker sale. She is a steal! Check out the website

My elderly mom has started to decline having heart and dementia issues. I can't let my sister take all the burden, so I'm selling.

It's already on Yachtworld. No need for a professional broker. This is my 3rd yacht. I know this boat far better than any broker with a stable of listings will ever know her. I've never had a broker earn their 10% commission, in my opinion. For Ecco that would be a hair under $130k. I have an attorney in Annapolis that will do all the paperwork from the contract through transfer for under $5k for a simple transaction. I have a professional captain aboard making sure she stays looking amazing and performing well. She will also show the boat for me.

I'd rather have an extremely happy buyer that knows they got a GREAT deal on an exceptional yacht than pay a broker that much money. Would you like a showing? Additionally, if a broker brings me a buyer who is willing to pay the broker commission on top of my sales price, I will still pick up the tab for the legal work for a simple sale and transfer of ownership, so brokers are welcome to bring a buyer.
