Is POP Yachts a Scam? Why Many Believe it Is

In its own words, POP Yachts is a boat broker. Otherwise, its version of an About Us page is filled with the kind of information that most people would expect, which is to say, a description of what it does as well as how it does it but touched up to make it as presentable as possible. Something that isn’t particularly uncommon for business websites to say the least. However, if interested individuals choose to look further using search engines, chances are good that they will turn up further web pages on other webpages with much more unpleasant things to say about the boat broker. Due to this, it is perfectly natural for them to wonder whether POP Yachts is a scam or not.

Is POP Yachts a Scammer?

Unfortunately, there is no simple and straightforward method for telling when a business has crossed the line from being a poor provider of products and services to being a straight-up scam. There are plenty of places where people have posted complaints about POP Yachts. For proof, look no further than the Better Business Bureau , which has provided it with a B- rating based on a total of 11 complaints. Furthermore, it is important to note that the Better Business Bureau has listed a 3-star review based on an aggregate of the customer reviews that have been submitted to it. Curiously, these reviews are either very good or very bad with few reviews that are in-between, which could be interpreted to mean that POP Yachts customers either have very good or very bad experiences. This is further supported by what people have said on various boat forums, which show a fair amount of negativity mixed in with some pretty positive comments.

As for the exact nature of the complaints, they are wide-ranging in nature rather than focused on one or even a small number of issues. In some cases, people complained about POP Yachts representatives misrepresenting the truth, which is a serious warning sign for obvious reasons. In other cases, complaints ranged from the poor attitude of POP Yachts representatives to a lack of response on the part of the boat broker and over-aggressiveness in their attempts to convince boat owners to sell through them. Based on this, it seems reasonable to say that POP Yachts has some serious issues, particularly since the range of reviews posted on a number of websites make it clear that this isn’t just one or two customers who are dissatisfied by their interactions with the boat broker.

Moving on, it is curious to note that POP Yachts claims to be one of the best businesses of its kind when measured using the reviews posted on Trustpilot.com . For those who are unfamiliar with that particular name, Trustpilot.com is a review website where customers can post reviews about the businesses that they have interacted with. Perhaps unsurprisingly, online review sites are filled with dishonest reviews, which are the inevitable outcome when there are such strong incentives at work without the corresponding barriers set up to prevent people from acting upon them. However, Trustpilot.com is particularly concerning because KwikChex has turned up actual examples of fake reviews on its website, which isn’t helped by the fact that the website lets its premium users filter the reviews that interested individuals see without any indication that said reviews have been filtered. Combined, these facts don’t exactly inspire a great deal of confidence in what Trustpilot.com has to say on the matter, particularly when there are so many other complaints on other websites that contradict the substance of this particular claim.

Summed up, there is no simple and straightforward method for determining whether POP Yachts is a scam or not. When one considers the fact that it has been in business for years and years, it seems probable that it isn’t a scam so much as a business that hasn’t been very good at satisfying a substantial number of the customers that it has interacted with. However, whether POP Yachts is a scam or not probably isn’t actually that interesting for most consumers out there. Instead, what most of them are really interested in is whether POP Yachts can be trusted to provide them with their desired service or not, in which case, the answer is at best a “maybe, maybe not.” Suffice to say that this isn’t what anyone would consider to be a stirring endorsement, meaning that interested individuals might want to look elsewhere. Something that is particularly true because there isn’t exactly a shortage of other service providers that can help them with whatever it is that they are looking for in this regard.

How Can You Tell that Something Is a Scam Anyways?

In any case, interested individuals might want to look into the various ways that they can pick up on something being a scam, which should help them avoid a wide range of potential pitfalls. Generally speaking, interested individuals should be suspicious of anything that sounds too good to be true. In fact, they should be suspicious of anything that is making them rush into a decision because that reduces the chances of them making a cool, reasoned-out choice that is in their genuine best interests. Under this light, something that sounds too good to be true is suspicious because it seems designed to encourage them to rush into a decision instead of thinking about it. Similarly, if someone is getting a lot of pressure from the representatives of a business into making a decision, that tends to be rather suspicious as well, though to be perfectly fair, it is possible that they are just pushy salespeople rather than scammers seeking to pressure consumers into making a bad decision.

Besides this, there are various other things to watch out for. For instance, a business that hasn’t existed for very long time is very suspicious because they are a complete and utter unknown, meaning that it is best to look elsewhere. Likewise, if a business has no physical presence at the place that they are claiming, that is even more suspicious. Fortunately, the Internet makes it easier for people to communicate than ever before, meaning that if people are interested, they should have no problems finding more information on how to pick up on potential problems.

Pop Yachts - brokers or scammers?

Add to quote

I see their listings plastered all over Ebay and at times on CL - the boats tend to be older and all are overpriced for the Florida market - in the body of each ad is a come-on for people to join their brokerage to sell boats - pretty tacky. Just curious if anyone has bought or sold a boat through them ?- they do at least provide lots of pictures

I bought one thru them, out of state, and it was a good experience. No games, straight forward.

I recently inquired about a boat that POP Yachts represented. The broker that contacted me had the customer skills one would usually stereotype with a used-car salesman. In general, the broker did several things to piss-me-off. I told him that my interest in this boat or any other boat that POP Yachts represent is gone. I will not deal with them again.

I looked at one they had listed. Broker was friendly and helpful. I ended up not purchasing the boat but I had no issues with POP Yachts I'm guessing the experience varies from broker to broker.

My complaint is that you have to register before you can even look at all of the photos. I'm a potential buyer and you're going to force me to register before you'll even show me what you have for sale!?! Give me a break!!! That's just stupid. Imagine how long Walmart would have stayed in business if, when he opened the first one, Sam Walton had stood at the door with a clipboard and said, "You can't come in and look around until you let me collect some information about you." Sadly, PopYachts is not the only one that does this sort of thing. It just amazes me that there are business people out there who are so completely brain-dead that they think -- just because it's the internet -- it is okay to throw roadblocks in front of potential customers who want to get some information.

You mean like. Mmm. Costco. ......

No. Not like Costco. Unless they've changed their policy in the last few years, Costco will let you come in and look around without joining. You can check prices, browse through the whole store, and so on. Only when you decide that you want to buy something are you then required to join. If PopYachts followed that sort of policy I would have no complaints. But PopYachts won't let you browse around -- they won't let you see the pictures of the boats they have -- until you register. That is stupid. Just plain STOOOPID!

I believe that each POP Yachts broker has the latitude to set their own policies for dealing with customers. Many salespeople feel that you have entered a series of transactions and negotiations from the minute that they pick up the phone; I'll do something for you only if you do something for me. I used to be in sales training, and I recognize the behavior. Before I made a 5-hour car trip to see a boat, I asked the POP Yachts broker for the HIN of the vessel I was interested in. He flatly refused, explaining that he thought that I would use it to identify the seller, and cut him out of his commission. He stated that he would provide the HIN and answers to other questions that I had after I signed a contract to buy the boat. I found this unacceptable and lost interest in dealing with either him or POP Yachts. Shortly thereafter I was contacted by another POP Yachts broker who sent me a link to where I could get a free copy of a "Carfax for boats" that had been done on that vessel. I never looked at it, because I had moved on.

I had a bad experience with a PopYacht broker. I will never even look at one of their listings again.

One question for you all who have recently dealt with POP Yachts. When I was looking 2+ years ago it seemed to me that they were claim jumping for sale listings. As in they were listing boats for sale that were not actually listed with them...in an effort to get you to work with them to buy a boat. Have any of you come across this??

d0n- "you're going to force me to register before you'll even show me " I expect that is just one more example of a company (in this case, the parent company itself) trying to monetize everything, gathering up your demographics to sell them. Someone is willing to pay them for every "potential boat buyer" they can name, and when you sign up...you've been datamined. So, step right up and join the game, send the emails to your favorite local FCC chairperson or other deserving entity. Heck, its only karma, right?(G) They seem like an "MLS" for people who want to be self-employed boat brokers. You find a boat someone is selling, copy it to your PY account...and if you're lucky, get a split. Or something to some similar effect, from what I've seen. And just like real estate brokers (who aren't "Realtors®") hey, if the broker is on their toes...all the same to the buyer, right?

hellosailor said: I expect that is just one more example of a company... gathering up your demographics to sell them. Click to expand...

I contacted them a couple years back about a boat and had a good experience with the broker I dealt with. Did not get past the offer stage. They use a marketing automation system for ongoing marketing (which I don't see a lot of in this industry) which is the reason for the quicker push to collect an email address (my opinion from looking from the outside in). I got the feeling they are more of an "association" type of arrangement selling leads to various brokers.

I don't think I'd call Popyachts itself a "scam". They are more like the real estate MLS, or Amazon, ebay, Alibaba, and every eastern bazaar. It seems pretty much that anyone can sign up, use the Popyachts "umbrella", and then proceed to try posting and selling pretty much anything--without being bothered by things like having or needing a broker's license or other professional oversight.

No, nothing like an MLS. Yachtworld is the MLS and Popyachts was banned from there. So the answer to the original question is a resounding "YES!!". They supposedly had a boat in Maine for sale, broker was in FL. This was a couple years ago. They kept harvesting and harvesting my info. But would never tell me where the boat was. Supposedly in "Saco, ME." It was a lie. Too good to be true. They steal Craigslist photos and post them themselves, then approach the seller and try to get a commission. They charge fees to buyers, etc., etc. Absolutely no ethics. Now there's a new one that comes after you through Craigslist offering "free FSBO postings," then torments you by phone until you pay them $300.00. I offered to provide the guy's number to the Maine Attorney General's office and never heard from him again.

POPYACHTS is a scam. Here is what I think they do. They look for boats on Craigslist and ebay and contact the seller and get them to agree to have them represent their boat. They then mark up the original seller price 2X and then make a really flashy ad on Ebay and Craigslist hoping to get you to over pay for the boat. How do I know this? I had been watching a boat in the Pittsburgh area. It had been listed for a long time on craigslist locally. This ad stood out because the seller was listing it as a Chris Craft Baja. Two manufacturers that were never related. The boat was also a wreck and had been sitting out for a long time. One day while looking at local ebay ads I saw the same boat and same pics listed by POPYACHTS. The ad was glowing and misrepresented the actual condition of the boat. I contacted the POPYACHTS broker regarding the boat. They got back to me. When I said why was the boat listed locally for a price that was half of what they were listing it for. He then became angry with the question and said owners can list them locally for what they want. So I am not actually sure if the local owner was even aware that their boat was listed on ebay. I suspect not. I would say, if you are consider a boat listed by POPYACHTS to search for the boat locally and do the deal with the owner and cut out mark up of the middle man. Pretty sleazy company in my opinion. I suspect any positive reviews are made up by the company. I would avoid.

Every time an add for a POP yachts boat comes up there is an add for Seatow on the page. what is that telling you.

Tells me seatow buys promotion ads.

Ya. you are going to buy adds where your customers are, tells me they get a lot of business from POP 's customers

Brokers or scammers? Maybe a little of both. I really hate to give up my information, or have to speak with a broker, just to look at photos of a boat online.

It could also be that the self-employed "local representatives" were scamming both the owners AND Popyachts by putting the boat on ebay without the knowledge of either. Popyachts makes it clear that they are only going to take a 10% commission. But like the Uber drivers who rudely embarrass Uber...the contractors might be up to anything else.

Curiously, I just got an email from a Pop Yachts scammer broker in Bradenton, and the boat is on Craigslist in Maine. Wanted to get my phone number so he could "call and explain the process." Said he wanted to market the boat and charge any fees to the buyer. So, Shane, the answer is a resounding "NO." There's a reason (I told him) Pop Yachts is banned from Yachtworld. I also warned him if he ripped and represented my photos in any way, I'd be calling both the Maine and Florida Attorney General's offices.

It might be worth contacting Popyachts about this guy. THEY may not want to be affiliated with him either. Their basic concept, to have a wide listing service other than YW, and to provide "local brokers" to make it different from just a laundry list, isn't so crazy. But if they are not vetting the "local brokers"... Well, even Youtube has been having problems cancelling pedophile accounts, and Amazon can't seem to get rid of the counterfeiters. Scams appear wherever there's money to be stolen. Ergh, made.

No to contacting Pop Yachts about anyone. The business model is the problem. They rip photos off FSBO's, then try to claim a commission. They got booted from YW for a reason. I mean, how BAD do you have to be to get kicked out of the only multiple listing service for yacht brokerage in the U.S.?

I don't know why (or for sure if) YW kicked them off, but since the Popyachts operation would seem to be a competitor to YW, not just a simple brokerage, that in itself would be reason to kick them off regardless to any questions of misbehavior. Very few businesses, including hobby web forums that depends on viewers and advertisers, allow competitors to set up camp on them. If PY is doing all that you say they are, a complaint with the FTC might get them shut down. Ripping off other people's photos and "trying to claim a commission" when there was no prior arrangement would violate numerous laws and probably qualify for prosecution under RICO as well. Which would make them a great target for any federal agency, assuming that's what has been going on.

So, I haven't seen anyone on here from the seller perspective...and while every situation is different, I seriously doubt POP is advertising and trying to sell boats at 2X the seller's asking price. Why do I know this? Because I am selling my boat through POP and they are advertising less than 10% higher and that is their commission. Again, just a different perspective from the seller's side of the story.[/QUOTE]

it looks like a scam

Everyone's experience may be different, but I find the listings annoying and basically click bait. We did contact a POP Yachts sales agent about a boat, and when we met to see the boat it was clear that he knew nothing about it, and probably had never met the owner. I can usually find a listing for the same boat on multiple sites so I usually favor the more legit, local agent.

That's what they do. For example, a recent Dyer 29 (nice little downeaster ********) was on the local Craigslist for $75,000.00. I think the actual listing broker (who had a legitimate listing) and the owner got wind of it and it was taken down. The number to call, for a Maine boat, was in Florida. Same number as I called a few years ago for a Pearson 365 that looked great and was claimed to be in Saco, Maine. I called the boatyards in Saco, asked around and the boat didn't exist. Click bait. When I called, they had to "coordinate with the owner." It dragged out awhile and then other P365's were offered. Scam. I also researched complaints against them. There were a lot, overcharges, etc., etc.

The absolutely best experience and service I have seen in a long time. Ashton, Mike, and Tavi really went above and beyond. They really killed it. You guys at Pop Sells have a really good team and a great concept. It really makes the buying and selling process a breeze. Ashton and Mike really went far and beyond with reaching out on a regular basis asking about the process and making sure everything was going smoothly. And Tavi (Local Rep) even came to the site and helped out with some technical issues with the camper and had a lot of good insight and advice with this Lance trailer. Who else provides this type of service? NOBODY!! Yeah. Blown away by this experience and don't know why anyone would sell or buy through any other service. Thanks!!!!!!!

It was time to sell my parents much beloved 1978 Chris Craft 410 Commander. The boat has been in our family since 1989 so it was an incredibly difficult decision sell. It was of extreme importance that Pop find the right buyer for our beloved boat. Someone who would love her and more importantly, someone who would properly take care her the way my father did. Team Vincent (Bradley & Kristy), met with me to discuss my parents boat, take pictures and more importantly listened. We discussed the market, my expectations and more importantly they did it all with professionalism. Brad was very easy to work with he understood my desires and found us the perfect buyer for our beloved boat. Team Vincent definitely deserves accolades for putting in the extra overtime for making this a pleasant experience in finding the right match for or boat. Thank you

Unprofessional Consultant

We were excited to find an RV that we liked and started negotiating a price that would work for the seller and our family with a Pop Consultant. The Pop consultant became very unprofessional and wrote us the following email below after asking us why we were not willing to pay the sellers counter offer. I’m only sharing an excerpt as not to break any trustpilot review rules. The consultant wrote: “…No, the seller is not interested in more negotiations. When you go into negotiations don't go in thinking how much you can take from the seller, especially when they have taken great care of the vehicle. Or tell the seller what the value of his RV is. Or what you think He should be selling it for…” I think a simple, “ No the seller does not accept your offer” would have been sufficient. No, I will not be using this platform to purchase an RV. No I do not recommend PopRV

I highly recommend!

I am extremely happy with my experience of purchasing a camper via POP and highly recommend their company. I must admit, initially I was skeptical because I'd not heard of POP or used a brokering agency... so I turned to Facebook friends and had several responses, all responding with positive reviews. From day 1 of making an initial phone call, each communication with my POP agents, whether via phone, text, or email, was prompt, professional, informational, and friendly. Each agent, Frank and John, and the accounting personnel, kept me frequently informed and provided clear instructions on each process from beginning to end. They served as mediators between the seller and myself, which helped eliminate the awkwardness that can occur with negotiations. There was a glitch that occurred during the closing- no one's fault- a previous clerical error on the title that had never been caught. It was going to delay the loan process for 4 weeks. The POP agents maintained contact with me several times each day until we found a solution around the situation. Without the glitch, from day 1 to possession would have been 7 or 8 days; with the glitch it was 10 days. I'll 100% use POP in the future!

We have never sold anything.

We have never sold anything directly and we didn't know what to do or what to expect. Pop Sells took care of everything for us and made things relatively easy. Thank you to Steve who handled the listing and pictures and keeping us updated along the way, and Tracy who handled the closing of the sale.

Team Vincent was great!

Team Vincent was great. I was looking for an rv for a few months when I ran into them and they made my experience so much easier. They pretty much took over and did all the leg work for me.

Amazing Results!

Brad came to our home the day after I asked Pop Sells to sell our toy hauler. He came to our home the very next day, listed it that afternoon and had a buyer out to look at it the next day. We had an offer and sold our camper within 24 hours of contacting Pop Sells. We worked with Brad, Kristi and Andi. They were all great at communicating and the entire experience with Pop Sells was amazing. I highly recommend them.

Great and successful experience

Great and successful experience I live in Wyoming and bought a boat out of Texas. I had lots of the usual concerns on things. Worked with the representative assigned to me from Pops. He was great and very professional. He answered all my questions in a timely manner. Closing was super easy and all on line. I would recommend buying through Pops to anyone looking for a boat and I plan to use them in the future as well. Thanks Pops.

Can anyone tell me how we get Pop RV to…

Can anyone tell me how we get Pop RV to provide the title to the RV we purchased through them? It has been a month - they have taken our money and will not answer any phone calls, texts or emails. We now have a gigantic lawn ornament that can't be legally driven. We were told the title was being fedexed the week of July 4th.

Boat: Islander 36	off of Craiglist or similar. I have heard that Pop Yachts cruises those type of websites, and hits up owners to list with them with the propisiton that Pop Yachts will charge a commission if they find the buyer, but no commission if the seller finds the buyer themselves. I have also heard that there are a lot disputes between sellers and Pop Yachts about who found the buyer. Does anyone have experience with Pop Yachts or know how they ? It seems like the seller would be more likely to accept a lower offer if they don't have to pay a commission to Pop Yachts, so one should try to track down the webiste where the was originally listed, deal with the owner directly, and avoid Pop Yacht entaglement.

I do not think it was a good situation, I would not use pop yachts to sell again. I gave the pop yacht 1/2 of the suggested minimum at the time as he did show the vessel about 5 times. I have had great success with sailboatlistings.com but sometimes it’s a that lists and sometimes they leave sold vessels posted. The later of which is a negligent sell problem.

These marketplaces often provide a variety of services, such as listings for boats for sale, classifieds, and even financing options.

These online marketplaces can be a great way to connect buyers and sellers, but they don’t provide the same level of personalized service that Pop Yachts does.

Overall, there are a few alternatives to Pop Yachts that are available to buyers and sellers looking to facilitate a successful yacht transaction.

However, Pop Yachts offers a unique level of personalized service that can help buyers and sellers connect and ensure a smooth transaction.

With a commission of 5-10% of the sale price, Pop Yachts is an attractive option for those who are looking for a reliable and experienced yacht brokerage company.

Final Thoughts

Pop Yachts is a great option for those looking to buy or sell a yacht.

They charge a commission of 5-10% of the total purchase price, which is split between the buyer and the seller, and helps cover the costs of marketing, advertising, and administrative costs associated with the sale.

The benefits of working with Pop Yachts include access to a wide network of buyers and sellers, as well as experienced brokers who can help guide you through the process.

Before working with Pop Yachts, it’s important to do your research and compare them to other yacht brokerage companies, to make sure you’re getting the best deal for your needs.

Now that you know more about Pop Yachts and their commission fees, why not check out their website and see how they can help you with your next yacht transaction?.

The Pros and Cons of a Pop Yacht Lawsuit

In a recent article on Pop Yachts, I wrote about the legalities of the yacht club and how lawsuits involving ownership of the vessels can be resolved. However, one of the questions that I receive more than any other is; “What if I own one of the Pop Yachts but do not use it?” This is an excellent question and one that I try to address in all of my articles. The first thing that I would suggest is to speak with your local yacht broker. They will have information for you regarding the vessels belonging to the pop yacht club and the vessels which are out on the open water.

It is important to understand who the owners’ association is and what the NCC is.

These two are joint operating agencies. The NCC is the governing body while the owners’ association is the group of individuals who use the vessel. Once you know the differences between the two, you will be able to decide if you want to pursue a claim against the pop yachts owners association.

Now there are different ways that you might be able to resolve the problem. If you have a boat that is valued at less than the fair market value then you should file a claim with the owners’ association. You will want to find a reputable attorney to help you with this aspect of the suit. Even if your boat is sold at a cost that exceeds the fair market value, you should still file a claim with the owners’ association.

What if you purchased your vessel from someone else?

There are two separate options here. You could pursue a claim against the seller of the vessel along with the common law general liability insurance carrier. Another approach would be to contact the vessel owner’s association. Depending on your state, there may not be a separate owners association.

Once you have decided on the type of lawsuit and the location in which you want to file your suit, you must determine whether or not you will need to obtain legal assistance. Many yachts can be easily determined to be the wrong vessels to file a lawsuit. If you are unsure, consult with a qualified and experienced yacht lawyer. They will advise you on the best course of action for obtaining compensation for your loss and the corresponding repairs that may be required.

It is important to remember that you have a right to bring legal action against the owner of a yacht even after a sale.

This is especially true if there were damages to the vessel. This is called a “damages” judgment. It can be grounds for a successful lawsuit. Many people have successfully brought these types of lawsuits against the owners of many yachts that they thought were being intentionally negligent. Personal injury lawyers are typically very familiar with these lawsuits and can often lead you in the right direction in regard to filing a successful claim.

Announcing Explorer Yachts Summit keynote speaker Monty Halls

We are delighted to announce our keynote for the Explorer Yachts Summit (13 November 2024) is broadcaster and explorer Monty Halls. Halls will be opening the summit, taking place at the Yacht Club de Monaco on 13 November 2024.

Halls, who is also a former Royal Marine, marine biologist, travel writer and leadership specialist, is best known for his hugely popular BBC series Great Escapes , where he lived on the West Coasts of Scotland and Ireland with his dog Reuben. He went on to present the multi-award-winning BBC NHU blue chip series Great Barrier Reef, The Fisherman’s Apprentice , again for the BBC, as well as series for Discovery and Channel 5. During this period he also led a number of scientific and research expeditions to remote locations such as Namibia, Malawi, Tamil Nadu, and Central America. These projects led to him being awarded the Bish Medal for services to exploration.

Since starting his own production company, Monty has produced and presented three series for Channel Four. WWII’s Great Escapes: The Freedom Trails broadcast to critical acclaim in late 2017, and in 2018 the whole Halls family featured in a poignant conservation mission to the Galapagos for the landmark series My Family and the Galapagos . A second series of My Family aired in 2020.

In his keynote for the Explorer Yachts Summit, Halls will talk about the changing role and responsibilities of the explorer in a modern world and how travel needs to be approached in a more holistic and mindful way.

One of Hall’s latest projects is LeaderboxBlue , a marine conservation project in a box which can be used by coastal communities anywhere in the world to help preserve their habitats. Participating yachts who join the scheme will be able to drop these boxes off in any location where they operate. Inside each box will be the tools for communities to design, plan and run their own conservation campaigns, and will include lesson plans to help educate and inform young people. Leaderbox Blue aims to ignite thousands of conservation projects across coastal regions worldwide within communities, institutions and organisations who would not otherwise have access to the skills and expertise required.

The Explorer Yachts Summit, held in collaboration with ExplorerYachts.com and in association with Damen Yachting , is the only international summit dedicated solely to the explorer yachting sector.

Attendees can expect an exciting lineup covering all areas within the sector. This year’s topics include an analysis of the explorer market backed up by BOATPro statistics; presentations on the Northwest Passage, ocean climate change and security and modern piracy; an update on record-breaking new scientific vessel REV Ocean , a fireside chat with the owner of trawler-turned-explorer Scintilla Maris , and much more.

Tickets are now available to purchase from €375 + VAT and are selling fast. Book now to avoid disappointment.
