Our service for leisure boat sellers
We know most people don’t buy a leisure boat lightly, and when it’s time to sell, you want to know you’re dealing with someone who values it properly. That’s what we’re here for. Our team will take a good look at your boat, give you a fair quote, and treat the process with the respect it deserves.
Our buyers know this market and understand what makes a great leisure boat worth top dollar. We don’t just run numbers. We consider the condition, use, and appeal of every boat individually, so you’re never lumped in with a lowball offer. As long as your boat is sound and seaworthy, we’ll give it its due.
You’ll get clear communication, prompt service and a team that follows through. No chasing, no relisting, no second-guessing and no endless consignments. Just a straightforward way to sell your leisure boat and feel good about the outcome.
What we look for in a used leisure boat
If your boat is clean, complete, and still performs well on the water, we’ll give it a serious review. We’re practical in our approach and focus on what matters to real buyers.
Condition
We look at how the boat presents overall, inside and out. Cosmetic wear is fine, but major damage or incomplete setups may affect the offer.
Layout and use
A smart, comfortable layout goes a long way. Leisure boats with plenty of seating, open decks or easy boarding setups tend to attract stronger interest.
Service history and hours
We look at hours and maintenance together. A well-used boat that’s been cared for is often more reliable than one that’s barely touched but neglected.
Here's what you need to do next
Selling your boat should feel clear and manageable. We’ve built our process to keep things simple, especially if you haven’t done it before. Everything’s handled in-house, with real people who walk you through it.
