Selling a Boat

People are even more careful about spending money now more than ever and in a competitive market you need to give your boat the best chance. Think about your boat sale as a labour of love and you will soon have boat buyers queuing up along the quay to view your boat.

  • It’s always a good idea to make the effort to take good photographs on a bright sunny day for use in any advertising on or offline.

  • Be organized and ensure that you have all documentation up-to-date and readily to hand including all service and maintenance records.

  • A clean boat will stand out and give the right impression.  Appearance is quickly affected by sun, salt and deck grime that runs down the side of the boat leaving streaks across the hull when it rains. Use only a mild detergent to avoid removing the wax layer.

  • Consider whether you are going to sell privately or via a brokerage. A brokerage can present your boat professionally to a wider audience and take care of any necessary valeting and small maintenance jobs.

  • If you have the time boat waxing maintains an eye catching glossy look and will make you stand out above the crowd.
