Eighteen boat brokers across America are shutting down right now and dumping trawlers, cruisers, and motoryachts at prices the marine industry has not seen in over a decade. From tariff chaos and insurance collapses to Wall Street marina takeovers and a demographic cliff that nobody in the industry wants to talk about, this video breaks down exactly why each one failed, what the numbers actually look like behind the boat show smiles, and how a smart buyer could walk away with a cruising trawler for fifty to a hundred and fifty thousand dollars below asking price. Some of these brokers saw it coming. Most did not. And the number one entry on this list is not a single brokerage going under. It is something much bigger, and it explains why every other name on this countdown was doomed before they ever hung the closed sign.
