Yacht brokerage: The value of relationships.

The AMIkids Yacht Donation program conducts business nationally through an extensive network of maritime industry professionals and reputable yacht brokerage firms.

A contribution to AMIkids is a tool that brokers can use as a safe and convenient alternative to selling or trading a vessel. AMIkids makes the brokers who facilitate a yacht donation the central listing agent of the vessel until it leases or sells. This commitment to supporting the industry helps ensure fair compensation for the work yacht brokers do and supports industry accepted practices.

AMIkids values the relationships built with all of our brokerage partners over the past 50 years and is always looking for ways to grow that family.
