Selling through us is simple. Here's the whole process, start to finish:
Bring your boat to us. We look it over, talk through its condition and history, and agree together on a fair market asking price.
We get it sale-ready. We clean and detail it, photograph it properly, and write up an honest listing that shows it at its best.
We market it to buyers. Your boat goes in front of the steady stream of cruiser shoppers who come to us, plus our listing channels — so it reaches people who are actually looking.
We handle every showing. No strangers at your dock, no fielding calls at dinnertime. We answer the questions, run the viewings, and manage the negotiation.
It sells, you get paid. We take care of the paperwork and closing, then you collect your proceeds, minus our commission. Done.
Straightforward, so everyone knows exactly where they stand:
9% commission — a full point below the 10% marine-industry standard, and you only pay it when your boat sells.
No upfront cost — nothing to pay to list your boat.
You set the price — we recommend a fair market figure together, and nothing goes live until you approve it.
You keep ownership — the title stays in your name until the sale closes; we handle the closing paperwork.
To get started, have these handy — and don't worry if something's missing, we'll help you sort it out:
Proof of ownership / title
Current registration
Any service or maintenance records (these help your boat sell faster, and for more)
Keys, canvas, and any extras that come with the boat
