The Yacht Broker’s Quick-Start Guide to Getting Documents Notarized Remotely
When you’re working with high-net-worth clients, international buyers, or time-sensitive transactions, the last thing you want is to delay a yacht deal over a missing notary stamp. But it happens all the time.
Whether you're trying to close a sale on a multi-million-dollar yacht or finalize documents with an overseas client, notarization is often the bottleneck. But here's the good news: Remote Online Notarization (RON) is changing the game for yacht brokers.
Why Yacht Brokers Are Switching to Remote Online Notarization
If you're still chasing down a local notary or coordinating awkward in-person meetings, you're wasting valuable time (and risking deals). RON lets you notarize key documents from your laptop or phone—in minutes.
Here’s what it unlocks:
✅ Speed
No more waiting days to coordinate a time for everyone to meet in person. You can close documents same day, often in under 10 minutes.
✅ Convenience
Your clients can be onboard, abroad, or on another coast—as long as they have a Wi-Fi connection, they can get their paperwork notarized.
✅ Legally Compliant
Remote notarizations are legally valid in all 50 states, provided your notary is commissioned and follows proper compliance protocols. We handle that for you.
What Yacht Brokers Usually Need Notarized
Here are the most common documents we notarize for brokers:
Bills of Sale
Power of Attorney (POA)
Vessel Purchase Agreements
Documentation Transfer Forms
Financing Documents (when lending is involved)
A Real-World Example
Last month, one of our clients—an experienced yacht broker in Fort Lauderdale—had a European buyer ready to wire funds. The only holdup? A missing notarized POA. Normally, this would’ve stalled the deal until the client flew back or found a local notary overseas. Instead, we handled the entire notarization online, within 15 minutes.
The deal closed that day.
