Things to consider

Things to consider when selling privately:

  • Adverting costs & where to advertise?

  • Taking the right pictures and marketing the boat correctly.

  • Having to deal with general enquiries which often come to nothing.

  • Having to answer technical questions about your boat. 

  • Having to undertake viewings (If your boat is not local to you this is time consuming, costly and may not result in a sale).

  • Completing official Bills of Sale.

​

Things to consider when selling through a broker:

Brokerage Fees: Based on an average boat price of £50K = £4800.00 approx.

​

Dependent on the time of year boats can take up to 3 months to sell and therefore there are other potential costs to consider:

  • Mooring Fees: Based on a 3-month sales period on an average size boat = £1350.00 approx.

  • Boat Polishing: Your boat needs to look good during the sale = £1000.00 approx. 

  • Servicing / maintenance costs.

  • Boat cleaning costs: Even if you clean the boat yourself you still have to travel to and from the boat.

​

Please also note that after a professional survey the original price offered is rarely the priced realised at the end of the sale.

​

​We make selling your boat simple and hassle free.
