The Brokerage Journal is the desk’s library of market guides for buying and selling boats in Indonesia: prices and valuation, tax and import duty, flag registration and ownership, surveys, and escrow-protected transactions. Every entry is written by the Indonesia Yacht Broker Desk, organised into five topic silos below.

Jual Beli & Proses Brokerage
How transactions actually run in this market: selling routes and listing checklists, buying guides from offer to handover, commission economics and document lists. The companion money pages are the national brokerage desk, sell your yacht and how it works.
Pajak, Bea Masuk & Impor
The cost layers on imported hulls — bea masuk, PPN, PPnBM — the tourism-business exemption, temporary import, and what unresolved customs status does to a sale. Anchored by the import duty and tax guide.
Registrasi, Bendera & Kepemilikan
Grosse Akta, Pas Besar and Pas Kecil, reflagging sequences, balik nama, foreign ownership structures and the cabotage principle. Anchored by flag registration and foreign ownership & cabotage.
Survey & Valuasi
Pre-purchase survey scopes by hull type, sea-trial protocol, due diligence checklists, and how market value is actually evidenced. Anchored by the survey page and the valuation service.
Escrow & Transaksi Aman
Payment sequencing, deposit terms, milestone releases, notary deeds and the anatomy of a safe closing. Anchored by the escrow page.
Where to start
First-time sellers should read the selling-route guides in Jual Beli & Proses Brokerage before anything else — pricing honestly and preparing the document pack are the two decisions that set the whole timeline. First-time buyers start with the due-diligence and survey material, then the escrow entries: the order of money and evidence is where this market punishes improvisation. Foreign owners and buyers belong in the registration silo first, because flag and structure decide what a vessel may legally do long before price enters the conversation. Import questions — duty, PPN, PPnBM, temporary import — have their own silo because the numbers are large enough to decide whether a deal exists at all.
How to use the Journal
Guides answer the question in the first paragraph, then earn the answer with detail — the same answer-first discipline as the money pages.
