We sell more boats

With over 70 Boatshed international locations, bringing seller and buyers together all over the world, we have sold more than 20,000 boats.

No sale, no fee

If we don't sell your boat, you pay no commission. We also don't mind if you put your boat for sale with other brokers or privately at the same time.

We believe that transparency is one of the most important factors to obtain happy sellers and buyers. Our brokers will personally visit your boat to record all the details and information, as well as take detailed photographs and videos. This means your broker will be knowledgeable and the listing online will be transparent and a true reflection of your boat whilst keeping you as a seller anonymous.

We will feature your boat across the Boatshed network as well as on other boat sales sites including YachtWorld, YachtMarket and Apollo Duck.

Boatshed also facilitates a monthly online auction, called BoatBid. If your boat has been listed with us for more than three months, this is a great way to generate interest and additional exposure to Boatshed’s many registered users. By taking part, you agree to sell the boat if the reserve price you have set is reached. The buyer can request a survey and a sea trial before making their final decision to purchase.

We pride ourselves in managing the full process of selling your boat, from creating an accurate listing, marketing your boat and facilitating viewings to managing offers and all the elements of the actual sale including handling of funds, contracts, transfer of ownership. With our local knowledge we will also help with arrangements of servicing, delivery, cleaning and other logistics. Our aim is to accomplish a sale with minimum stress for you as a seller.

Boatshed recognises that the sale and purchase of a boat is a process, quite difference from that of traditional selling.

It’s more about creating a process, an environment that facilitates the sale and purchase of boats for our buyers and sellers, accomplishing the sale ultimately, but only with the minimum of stress for all parties involved.
