Yes, talk to a BC broker. But, expect a listing fee as well, it is a business after all.

My understanding, if your US documented vessel is sold to a Canadian, the point of sale can be US waters. Then the New Canuck owner can decide where to have the boat registered with appropriate taxes, if any. WA, OR and BC are with different fees.

I've a Canadian friend whose vessel is registered off shore. While cruising in AK, he was fine. To avoid Canadian taxes he departed Ketchikan and avoided Canadian waters, staying offshore until entering US waters and then on to Mexico.
