Brenda Flower, Westwind Yacht Sales

If you are interested in quality pre-owned boats and yachts, either purchasing or selling, Westwind Yacht Sales is here to assist. Our exclusive brokerage listings include a select range of quality, freshwater yachts from 20 to 60 feet, many of which are located at marinas in the Heart of Georgian Bay, the gateway to North America's premier fresh water cruising grounds.

Our brokerage office is centrally located at Queen's Cove Marina in Victoria Harbour. We list boats in several local marinas in Penetanguishene, Midland, Port Severn and Honey Harbour (all within a few minutes drive), and farther afield on lakes Simcoe and Couchiching and at Toronto area marinas.

The Westwind website is updated frequently with new listings and price changes, so please check back on a regular basis. Unless specifically noted, all prices are listed in Canadian dollars. Our very "retro" site is extremely user-friendly with lots of great photos, and we promise not to annoy you with a barrage of distracting advertising.

Don't see exactly what you want?  Use the Boat Search Form , call us at (705) 528-9979 or send an email. We have extensive contacts and connections within the industry and can often locate that special boat in a heartbeat.  Please give us a try; there's nothing to lose and I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the results.

Need Directions? You'll find our office at Queen's Cove Marina within the village of Victoria Harbour, just 90 minutes north of Toronto, and just 10 minutes west of Hwy 400 off Hwy 12.

Welcome fellow boaters! Whether you are looking to buy or sell power or sail, or just feeling out the market, Westwind can smooth the ride through an often difficult and confusing process. With many years in marine sales, we offer a full-service brokerage experience, and we stake our reputation on transparency, honesty and integrity. We list boats located on Georgian Bay and in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). We sell boats to customers across Canada and the US.

As the saying goes, "the early birds get the worm," and serious buyers are out there now looking to snap up the best listings before the weather improves and late spring shoppers get active. There are exceptions, but most of our boats are viewable throughout the winter storage period. Don't hesitate to call if you see something of interest and would like to have a look.

Regardless of whether you are buying or selling, it makes sense to work with an experienced, professional yacht broker who knows the market and can provide a stress-free and hassle-free sales process.  We always welcome new listings and offer top-notch advertising and competitive commission rates. We also work with other brokers and private sellers as a buyer's representative to locate specific boats and work on the buyer's behalf to negotiate the sale under a fair set of terms and conditions.

If you are considering a move up (or down), or just wondering where the market is these days, give us a call or drop buy our office at Queen's Cove Marina and let's chat - no obligation whatsoever.   Should you decide to sell, we'd welcome the opportunity to earn your business and turn you into another satisfied, long-term Westwind customer.

Recreational boating offers a rich and rewarding lifestyle and has been a life-long passion for me and my family, and there is nothing I like better than introducing new boaters to the joys of life on the water. To all our boating clients, thank you for allowing me so many wonderful years in this business. I wish you and your families many more joyful years on the water!

Sincerely

Brenda Flower

Westwind Services

Westwind Yacht Sales Canada is a full service brokerage with a solid reputation for professionalism, honesty and integrity.  We recognize that satisfied customers are our best advertising, and we value every opportunity to demonstrate our expertise and commitment. We may not be the largest brokerage on The Bay, but over the years we've earned a reputation among knowledgeable boaters as one of the best boat brokers in Ontario. We truly value our customer relationships as demonstrated by our lengthy list of second, third and fourth-time customers.

If you are a buyer, by all means, browse our current power and sail listings.  There are always some great buys from day cruisers, right on up to full size motor yachts.  We specialize in freshwater cruisers and yachts.   Most of our listings are conveniently located at our home marina, or within a few minute's drive.  We take the time to show any boat of interest and we guide you through the offer/purchase process from start to finish and a smooth, hassle-free closing. We can work with you on any boat, regardless of the listing broker, to see that your interests as a purchaser are well represented.  The purchase of a boat is a significant financial transaction and it makes sense to leverage the wealth of knowledge and peace of mind that an experienced yacht broker can provide as the sales process proceeds.

U.S. buyers are more than welcome. Why not take advantage of the strong U.S. dollar for significant savings on the purchase of a good, clean, Canadian freshwater boat. Prices shown on this site are in Canadian dollars, which convert to US dollars at roughly 25% discount based on current exchange rates (i.e. $100,000 CAD = $75,000 USD). Westwind can assist with arrangements for transport to US destinations by land or by water, and with preparation of the required customs documentation.

Considering a U.S. purchase?  Although the Canadian dollar currently trades at a discount, cross-border listings may be attractive under certain market conditions.  There are many good, freshwater vessels in the US Great Lakes region, and elsewhere on the continent.  Westwind will work on your behalf with US brokers to complete the purchase, and most importantly, help you through the process of having the boat properly landed and licensed or registered in Canada.  Just let us know if you see a listing of interest.  We'll contact the local broker to arrange a viewing, and we will work with you through the assessment, offer, closing and transport phases, should you decide to proceed.  

Looking to sell?  Westwind is always looking to add clean, well-maintained boats to our brokerage listings.  Our objective is to provide the best service for you, and the best exposure for your boat. We do not carry new boat inventory.  As a result, you can be assured our primary interest is in the sale of your boat, not on moving expensive new-boat inventory.

We focus on the local market, which means we can effectively show our listed boats on very short notice and deliver a level of service that buyers and sellers really appreciate. Our inventory list is often very short, but less inventory means we can focus much more attention and advertising on your boat, and that means shorter time on the market and a better sell price for you. .

How does it work for sellers?  We start with an inspection of your boat to assess overall condition, and we provide advice on pre-listing steps that you can take to ensure the best possible presentation. We'll research listings for same or similar models to establish a listing price that will position your boat competitively within the current market.

If you decide to proceed with a sales listing, interior and exterior photos are taken in preparation for advertising to achieve maximum market exposure.  We actively target our advertising to buyers in key geographic areas of the U.S. and Canada who are showing interest in your specific make and model of boat. We also provide objective feedback on buyer interest levels as the sales campaign proceeds.

Once advertising is in place, Westwind manages the sales process on your behalf from start to finish, including coordination of surveys, mechanical inspections and land or water transport, if required by the buyer.  Potential purchasers are pre-qualified, and your boat is shown with the utmost care, consideration and respect, and with the broker present at all times.  All purchase offers are presented in writing with suitable deposit in place.

No broker can guarantee a sale, but Westwind promises every effort will be made to attract serious, qualified buyers who won't waste your valuable time. With any sale, success depends primarily upon condition and price point. One thing is certain; with 27 successful years behind us and literally hundreds of boat sales completed, you can be confident that Westwind will make every effort to get the job done
