The Independent Approach
How media, audience development, independent sourcing and responsible screening work together to create relevant industry relationships and buyer introductions.
01 // Financial Efficiency
Independent Yard Sourcing & Variable Savings
Independent yards can offer different commercial structures and pricing from established luxury brands. We use content, research and direct industry relationships to identify relevant opportunities and explain any indicative pricing difference transparently.
02 // Complimentary Media
Documentary-Style Yacht Media
We offer selected shipyards a complimentary social-first media proposition, using the build itself as the subject: design, engineering, construction, materials, technology, efficiency, refit capability and the people behind the vessel.
03 // Responsible Screening
Responsible Yard Network
Our multi-factor screening considers ownership, jurisdictions, sanctions and conflict exposure, supply chains, environmental practices, governance and other ESG considerations when assessing manufacturers for the network.
04 // Buyer Introductions
Qualified Introductions
Where an appropriate prospective client emerges, we can introduce the opportunity to the relevant new-build shipyard or established brokerage partner under an appropriate commercial arrangement.
Independent Yard Sourcing
Selectively sourced yacht opportunities from independent yards and established partners. Any prices or savings shown are indicative market-orientation figures only and can vary by yard, specification, build and commercial arrangement.

Technical information such as IP address, browser/device information, pages visited and consent preferences, subject to applicable cookie choices.
3. Why We Use Information
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, we may process information to respond to enquiries; identify suitable yachts, shipyards, designers or counterparties; facilitate introductions; administer brokerage and co-broker relationships; negotiate or perform agreements; comply with legal obligations; prevent fraud or misuse; protect confidential business interests; and improve our website and services.
4. European Privacy Rights
Where EU/EEA or UK data-protection law applies, you may have rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability and withdrawal of consent, subject to applicable legal limitations. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
5. California Privacy
Where California privacy law applies, eligible individuals may have additional rights concerning access, correction, deletion and certain disclosures or uses of personal information. We do not sell personal information in the ordinary meaning of that term. Requests may be submitted using the contact details below.
6. Sharing Information
We may share information, where appropriate and lawful, with yacht owners, buyers, sellers, shipyards, naval architects, designers, surveyors, lawyers, escrow or financial professionals, co-brokers, service providers and technology providers involved in a requested transaction or service. We seek to limit disclosures to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

This website is operated by Hot Reality Productions LLC, a California limited liability company. Ethical Yacht Broker is a brand of Hot Reality Productions LLC. California registration number: 202033610588. The business is being developed as an international, digitally native media and buyer-introduction platform. Where a transaction requires regulated brokerage or other licensed services, EYB may work with appropriately licensed professional counterparties.
1. Website Information
Website content is provided for general information and preliminary brokerage discussion only. Yacht specifications, pricing, availability, build slots, delivery estimates, savings estimates and other commercial indications may change and should be independently verified before reliance or commitment.
2. No Contract by Website Use
Browsing this website, submitting an enquiry, receiving an introduction or exchanging preliminary information does not by itself create a brokerage mandate, agency, fiduciary relationship, purchase agreement, shipyard contract, commission entitlement or other contractual relationship. Binding obligations arise only from applicable written agreements signed by the relevant parties.
3. Brokerage & Referral Relationships
EYB may make introductions to shipyards, designers, brokerages and other professional counterparties, depending on the opportunity. Where regulated brokerage or representation is required, the relevant role, authority, scope of services, commission and payment mechanics should be confirmed in writing with the appropriately licensed or authorised party.
4. New-Build Yard Referrals & Non-Circumvention
Where EYB introduces a prospective buyer, beneficial owner, family office, advisor or other counterparty to a new-build shipyard, designer, project team, brokerage or other industry participant, the parties may enter into a separate introduction, non-circumvention and/or commission agreement (“NCA”).
Where such an agreement applies, the parties may agree that an introduced counterparty, opportunity, project, yard relationship or transaction is protected for the agreed period and that the parties will not intentionally bypass the introducing party in order to avoid an agreed fee or commission. The exact protected parties, transaction scope, duration, commission basis, payment trigger and permitted direct dealings must be defined in the signed NCA.
A website notice is not intended to replace a signed NCA and does not, by itself, impose a non-circumvention obligation. Any commission entitlement should be evidenced by the applicable written agreement and the circumstances of the introduction.
5. Co-Brokerage &
Website content does not by itself create a commission entitlement or non-circumvention obligation.
Any fee, commission, referral arrangement or protection applies only to the extent agreed in a
separate written agreement signed by the relevant parties.
Commission
EYB may cooperate with other licensed or professional brokers, central agencies, shipyards or representatives. In a co-broker transaction, commissions may be shared or allocated between participating parties according to a written co-brokerage agreement, listing agreement, referral agreement or transaction-specific confirmation.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, no party should assume that EYB will be responsible for another broker’s compensation, or that a commission is payable merely because an introduction occurred. Commission calculations, splits, VAT/tax treatment, invoicing and payment timing should be documented before a transaction closes.
6. Conflicts & Transparency
Where EYB may receive compensation from a seller, shipyard, co-broker or other counterparty, the nature of that compensation may be disclosed as required by applicable law and the relevant engagement. Clients should ask for clarification where a potential conflict or compensation arrangement could affect the scope of representation.
7. External Websites
Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience. EYB does not control and is not responsible for the content, security, privacy practices or availability of third-party websites.
8. Limitation of Responsibility
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, EYB is not responsible for losses arising solely from reliance on preliminary website information, third-party information or unverified yacht specifications. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
9. Governing Law
Unless a signed transaction-specific agreement provides otherwise, the relationship concerning this website is intended to be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Mandatory laws applicable to users in the EU/EEA, UK or another jurisdiction are not intended to be displaced where they cannot lawfully be excluded.
