About the Company

United City Yachts has constantly expanded across Canada. We started with an office conveniently located at the Toronto Outer Harbour Marina in downtown Toronto, only minutes from the bottom of the Don Valley Parkway and Lake Shore Road E. Subsequently we opened an office in Kingston and broker coverage on Georgian Bay and in 2016 we began serving the Vancouver area. Most recently we entered the Montreal, Vancouver Island, Kelowna, Lake Simcoe, Southwestern Ontario and Ottawa yacht market. We have really focused on establishing the best geographic catchment for both yacht sellers and buyers. We know the boat markets across Canada and most importantly we have the connections for buying and selling yachts not just from one location but from many locations. Our yacht brokerage often moves sold boats across the country and also to all points US and Caribbean connecting happy clients with the boat of their dreams. While most brokers focus on listed inventory in their own backyards, we focus on making yacht purchase connections with buyers and sellers across the country and beyond offering our purchasing clients more selection and listings not limited to one geographic area. For sellers it means bringing you more prospects, not just from one city but from across the country. As United City Yachts continues to expand and grow, we invite you to work with us and see the difference we can make to your yacht purchase or sale using our multi-channel approach to marketing yachts.
