Reference, Reference
References?
References are proof of the company ability to perform, but where do you get them from, and how do you know they are real? This is a tough one, but with a little guidance, you will be fine.
* Ask for a vendor list (People they pay for services) and ask the company to detail the relationship with that vendor. You may need a written release to get financial details, but you can ask how long they have been working together? Do they pay on time? and if they are easy to work with? If they are not taking care of the people that help them, they may not be there to help you.
* Ask for a random list of past customers they have sold and shipped boats for, and ask the company to detail what they did for each customer. When you call the reference have questions ready to go and treat it like a quiz. The answers they provide and in the manner they give them will paint a pretty good picture of what you can expect from working with that company.

What experience do you have
Selling and Shipping boats?
Anyone can purchase a website and say they know the business, but only Boat Brokers and Shipping Agents who have worked in their respected fields for a long time really know the ins and outs and can give you the best advice and service. Start a conversation with someone at the company and you will soon learn if the person can actually live up to their website.
How do
You charge?
Many boat brokers and international boat shipping companies do quote reasonable rates but, they base all their quotes off the information YOU provide them. Using the information you provide, they will provide you a quote. If you accept their quote, you will have to sign a multiple page contract with fine print that will transfer all the liability to you. The worst part, is that after your boat ships, the contract will allow them to come back and charge you additional fees, even if they make the mistake. If you don't pay, they can hold your boat “hostage” and refuse to release it until have paid them in full.
