Who needs a yacht salesperson bond?
Any person or entity that buys, sells offers for sale, displays for sale or deals in yachts within the jurisdiction requiring the bond. The surety bond offers security that the salesperson is faithfully representing the vehicle as is sold and that the dealer being licensed will operate according to applicable laws in the state of Florida and to be in compliance with Chapter 326 of the Florida Statutes.
What is the yacht salesperson bond?
The Yacht Salesperson Bond protects the party requesting the surety bond, the Obligee, against any financial losses as a result of poor financial choices, damages, unethical decisions, or a failure to adhere to state and local laws on the part of you, the Principal. By obtaining your bond, you are telling the Obligee that you can be trusted and that you stand by your business decisions.
The Florida yacht salesperson bond is also known as: yacht broker bond, yacht dealer bond, yacht boat bond, boat dealer bond, and vessel dealer bond.
What else do I need besides the yacht salesperson bond?
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles may also require the following:
Yacht salesperson must submit a copy of a garage liability insurance certificate which shall include, at a minimum, $25,000 combined single-limit liability coverage including bodily injury and property damage protection and $10,000 personal injury protection.
Copy of lease for location or proof of ownership.
Copy of pre-licensing dealer training course completion certificate.
Requirements are always subject to change, so it's always best to consult the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles for the most up-to-date information.
