Purchase a Yacht With Cryptocurrency at the 2022 Miami Boat Show

Marina Nazario | February 4, 2022



Use various cryptocurrencies to pay for a superyacht on display with Denison.

The Miami International Boat Show is back from February 16-20, 2022 after a one year hiatus. Denison will be in attendance with yachts on display at One Herald Plaza in Miami. With most of the show taking place in open-air outdoor spaces, MIBS 2022 will offer a safe experience for exhibitors, visitors, and the local community.

There will be new and exciting experiences at the show this year — one of which is the ability to purchase a yacht with cryptocurrency through Denison. Miami is vying to be the crypto capital of the world (its biggest competitor being New York City) as Miami Mayor Francis X. Suarez already accepts his salary in Bitcoin and other various cryptocurrencies. This sets the stage for the Miami International Boat Show to be an international event where you can make large purchases with crypto.

And as a leader in the yachting industry, Denison announced the first yacht sale using cryptocurrency in 2016. In June 2018, Denison’s first Bitcoin-booked charter was made. This paved the way for making yachting more accessible. The ability to safely accept various currencies, including cryptocurrency, and distribute these funds in U.S. dollars is a valuable service to Denison’s clients.

Today, buying a yacht or chartering a yacht using cryptocurrency as payment is convenient thanks to low transactions fees, fast transfer, and privacy. Denison uses BitPay to allow customers to pay for yachts or yacht charters with cryptocurrency.

First thing’s first — check out our complete guide to the Miami International Boat Show that includes a sneak peek at our yachts on display. If you’re excited about a boat, connect with the yacht broker. Denison has an awesome team who’s excited to help customers purchase the boat of their dreams.

Let the broker know that you want to pay for the yacht using cryptocurrency, and they’ll get you set up. Denison accepts all cryptocurrencies (bitcoin, ether, dogecoin, you name it) without a limit.

Step 2: Make A Payment

After you discuss more details with your yacht broker and make a decision about your purchase, they’ll send you an invoice to complete payment. Denison uses BitPay to facilitate all crypto transactions.

BitPay is a safe and easy-to-use platform for crypto transactions. Your yacht broker will send you an invoice, and you can choose to make a payment using one of your wallets. Your invoice will be sent at a locked-in exchange rate, and there will be a 1% transaction fee added to the invoice. After payment, BitPay converts the crypto for Denison and voila. You’re all set.

Step 3: Enjoy Your Yacht

Let the fun begin. After you pay for the yacht using crypto, it’s time to enjoy your purchase. Depending on how you want to use your yacht, Denison has one of the top charter management teams who can handle all aspects of yacht charter (including marketing, crew placement, rates, itineraries, contracts, and more).

Is it Safe To Pay With Cryptocurrency?

One hundred percent. Many clients prefer the ease of use and privacy that paying with Bitcoin, or any other cryptocurrency, provides. The blockchain network makes payments untraceable, which is an advantage to those who want to keep their travel expenditures private.

On top of that, the 1% fee is minimal compared to wire transfers or credit card processing fees. Transfers can take as little as a few seconds to a couple of minutes to complete. No need to wait for bank approvals.
