TMC began as the multihull industry’s first buyer brokerage, and working on the buyer’s side is still at the heart of what we do. We get to know you first: your Buyer Profile, how you’ll use the boat, and what you’re trying to accomplish. Then we put you in the right boat for your agenda, guide you through every step, and save you money along the way.
Three steps to the right boat.
See the market clearly with TMC Premium Membership, learn what ownership takes in the TMC Buying Academy, then let a TMC buyer's broker find your boat and protect your interests. Ready to buy now? Go straight to step 3.

Your own buyer's broker, on your side from the first call to long after closing.
A TMC buyer's broker works exclusively to represent and protect your interests, just as a listing broker does for the seller. They learn your plans, search every boat on the market, tell you the truth about each one and negotiate the best possible deal, then stay on call once she's yours.
In most cases it's paid for by the seller, not you, and the advice alone can save you tens of thousands of dollars: not paying for items you aren't required to, and planning properly to avoid unnecessary fees and taxes.

- 2A shortlist that fitsEvery boat on the market narrowed to the ones worth your time.
- 3Showings and inspectionsIn person or through a TMC broker who's local to the boat.
