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?

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.

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.

First Time Buyer - Expectations Exceeded!

This was the first time purchasing a boat. The Pop Buyer's agent AND selling agent were very friendly. They worked in the best interest of all parties involved. Buyer's agent (Tab B.) was very helpful in navigating my first time purchase with professional advice and fast response times. Closing department (Tricia) was proactive in helping resolve issues and ensuring closing happened on time. SO GLAD I used Pop for my first time boat purchase. Will use again on future sales/purchases! Good job Pop Team!

Pop Rv was very impressive. Garett was over the top on service something my wife and I were when we were selling real estate. The professionalism with this company is very refreshing . Very happy how this buying experience happened in a safe and secure manor. thanks John

Thank you for the outstanding review, John. We are so happy to hear that Garett was over the top on service and that the Pop team always treated you with professionalism. Congratulations on the purchase of your new RV. We hope that you and your wife have many great adventures in it!

WOW,great crew

WOW! What a crew. While casually browsing sailboats for sale I kept getting new ones available. This kept my interest until I found my “perfect one for me”. Too far away but on a trailer, 1200 miles. 21’ Freedom, single sailor. Then all along before closing and even follow up after I got home another kind “Pop’s” customer care. Can’t thank you enough.

Great management.

Horrible company. Don’t waist your time. They want 10% and all they did was pull my pictures off Craigslist and they didn’t even get the information right. I’m changing my review based on my conversation with Michael this morning. He reached out to see what went wrong, discussed how it could be better and what they could do to remedy the situation. As a business owner I have the utmost respect for companies that try and handle negative reviews and actually want to know what transpired.

King was very good about coming to me, taking quality pictures and even got up on the roof of my 5th wheel in 100 degrees to describe the condition to a potential buyer. At the time of closing Harley was awesome, she knew answers to my questions and nailed down the closing in just a few hours knowing that I as well as the buyer wanted to get the deal sealed asap. Thanks guys!

We're happy to hear that King and Harley provided you with excellent service and made the selling process as smooth as possible, Dane. It's always great to have a team that goes above and beyond to ensure their clients' satisfaction. Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Pop Yachts!

Had a great experience in buying an RV…

Had a great experience in buying an RV through POP, and felt their business model and fees were quite good compared to a normal brokerage. Michelle Montgomery was responsive, honest and did a nice job scheduling showings, following up, and communicating the offer. Hannah Deichler, with Michelle helping a couple times, walked me through closing. Their systems were easy to use and fast. Bill of sale went through fine. Bank had title and that took a bit of time but not Pop's fault, and they communicated throughout the process. Wish they had a little more subject matter expertise on titling the vehicle with a state, but all in all, was a great experience and I would definitely use them again.

Thank you, John, for taking the time to leave such a detailed and positive review about your experience buying an RV through Pop RVs! We're thrilled to hear that our business model and fees compared favorably to a normal brokerage, and that Michelle and Hannah provided you with excellent service (we think they are great too).

Listed & Sold Within a Month

I listed my 1990 Sea Ray Express Cruiser 350 with Pop Yachts because I simply did not have the time to try to sell on my own and other yacht brokers seemed flaky. With Pop Yachts, selling was easy! The team was amazing, with a special shout-out to broker Justin Dees who was with me every step of the way and in constant communication. He was there to photograph/video for the listing, accompany me and the buyer on the sea trial, oversee the mechanical inspection, and work with Tony Gomez on the closing. Ultimately, I sold my boat within a month of listing it! Could not be happier. I would recommend Pop Yachts to anyone buying or selling a boat.

So I was hesitant to go through Pop Rv, I knew nothing about online travel trailer brokers, but it was really amazing! I really don’t have any cons to using PopRv.

They were willing to talk us through the whole process and answer all of our questions and concerns in a very timely manner. I would recommend this group anytime! Thank y’all so much

Use POP RV’s

Contracting with POP RV’s was the best decision I’ve made. I do not have the tools to list and attract potential buyers. Greg from POP RV, listed, showed potential buyers and sold my RV within 30 days. I could not have tapped into the consumer base that POP RV has. I appreciate the professionalism of this organization. The sell was effortless! My sincere appreciation to POP RV.

I can't say enough good things about…

I can't say enough good things about the Pop Yachts team. They actively marketed my boat and ensured that the deal was closed smoothly. Of particular note was my sales representative, Michael Edwards. He was relentless in ensuring my boat got the best advertising exposure and maximized the number of showings to qualified buyers. I most highly recommend Pop Yachts!

From Beginning to End - Great Service

Pop Yachts handled my boat purchase from beginning to end. I was purchasing direct from an owner and wanted to make sure everything was on the up and up; escrow, power of attorney, etc. They handled EVERYTHING and the back-and-forth with communication on items was outstanding. We are keeping our 'starter boat' for a year or two, but when it is time to purchase again, we will be using Pop Yachts.

Date of experience : June 04, 2023

Thank you for the fantastic review, Carlis! We are so glad that we were able to make your boat purchase a more comfortable experience using our closing services. We understand that buying a boat is a big purchase, with a lot of moving parts and risk factors. We appreciate you trusting us to handle all of that on your behalf. Wishing you many great days out on the water on your new "starter boat." We look forward to helping you again when that time comes.

Sold my boat

I found y’all on the internet called Robert Wallace he came to my residents and spent a few hours taking pictures. At that point I felt we had developed a friendship. I could call Robert at anytime and I felt he always took time for me. I knew he had other things to do besides talk to me. I feel he is an employee your company should appreciate he’s trustworthy honest and a hard worker. I would recommend Pop Yachts and also would sell with y’all again.

Unprofessional Sales and Finance Reps

The individuals at Pop Rv are totally unprofessional. I'm specifically calling out Andy Baker and Caleb Grassi. Andy prompted me to apply for a loan through Rock Solid Funding (their partner) without ever calling or speaking with me personally. I received a computer rejection in less than 5 minutes after submitting the application. No human being ever looked at my application. When I questioned the process, Caleb Grassi gave me a "sorry we can't help you" reply. I make over $100k/year, have $0 debts, and have stellar ratings on my credit report from Chrysler, Ally Bank, Verizon, Capitol One, and more. My prediction: Pop RV will be out of business in a year or two max. My Recommendation: Shop Elsewhere.

Pop Yachts will not let you down.

I contacted Pop Yachts about selling our boat. Was called back by Aaron Taylor who was assigned my account. He made the 2.5 hour drive to take some great pictures and a nice video of our boat for advertising. Less than 2 months later and much work on their end our boat was sold and paid for today. The process was simple from the start to the finish. Talking about the finish, a shout out to Andy for all her help during the lightning fast closing process. After the customer test drive of the boat and go ahead to purchase our boat, less than 2 days later the money was already wired to our bank. 5 star service by the entire Pop Yachts crew. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their boat.

Date of experience : April 30, 2024

Fantastic Customer Service!!!!

I found and purchased the boat all within one week. First Kris helped me get the offer in, Ana helped me get all the paper work done and Reggie helped me get to the boats location. They were ALL so helpful and attended to my needs immediately. As a marine service manager customer service is most important and they demonstrated professional, kind, and accurate info/help. All so good.

Purchase of boat in Tennessee

Boat is located at marina in Tennessee. The marina required 2 month's notice in giving up the slip. Pop paid for two month's rent to satisfy them. Thanks. The buyer's agent was in Florida. We had difficulty obtaining information about the current status of the boat as no Pop rep. was at the marina. The seller's agent contact was given to me to ask about the boat's current status. The sale was completed and sales tax was paid in Florida. The Tennessee registration requires a form to be completed that was supposed to come from the broker. None was provided. TN also requires that TN taxes were paid. Not done.

Thank you for your detailed review, Kevin. We are glad that we were able to help you with the marina rent. It was our understanding during closing that the boat was going back to Florida, and your Florida address was used for the documents. Therefore, sales tax was collected for Florida, and a De aler tax Statement was provided. We are required to collect sales tax for anything coming back or staying in Florida. If you've decided to keep the boat in Tennessee and need any further documentation, please contact [email protected] and we will be happy to provide whatever we can to satisfy your requirements to keep the boat in Tennessee. We hope that you enjoy your new boat!

Great to work with.

I initially contacted Jason about a 2013 Yamaha SX210. He responded back to me within a day and was easy to communicate with and always answered my questions, which were quite a few. After deciding to move ahead with the purchase, I was introduced to Harley who helped me obtain all the documentation I needed to give to my bank to facilitate a loan. She also provided me with businesses in the area that could survey the boat before purchase. Like Jason, she was awesome to work with. I talked with Bret as well who helped finalize the process. Bob helped me finalize the purchase when we met with Manny, the owner. After everything was complete, Harley ensured I received the paperwork in a timely manner. Overall, it was a great experience and thanks to everyone at Pop Yachts who helped with the process.

Thank you for the fantastic review, Paul! We are glad to hear that the Pop team was able to help you throughout your buying process in a timely, professional and thorough manner.

Pop RV's did an outstanding Job on help…

Pop RV's did an outstanding Job on helping to find the perfect buyers for my Motor home. Time and Price are key to success. Hundreds of Photos and a Video meant my RV told its own story. Pop RV's consistently placed my ad in all major RV sites, and kept me aware of activity each week with the traffic report for my RV. Closing was easy and my RV found it's way to the new owners with no issues.

We purchased a 1999 Chris Craft boat…

We purchased a 1999 Chris Craft boat July 2022. We reached out 7/3/22 & picked up boat 7/30/22. It was extremely painful process dealing with popyachts office & closing department. Steve Friedrich was our saving grace, as he helped balance out all the issues we were having with Christine Harrower, our closing person. We also reached out to Rusty Kline her manager without a response till after we were actually closing. The actual close day went mostly without a hitch, but I would never recommend the company, which actually charged me the buyer $495.00 to do the closing documents- which was required if we wanted to buy boat. The papers were sent & accurate & came pretty quickly, but everything else I had to essentially set up ( inspection, sea trial) myself.
