How to sell your boat

 

You have two options when selling a boat.

You can advertise, deal with all the enquiries and negotiate and administer the sale your self, or you can employ the services of a boat broker.

Initially the first option may seem the cheapest because the broker will charge a commission. However, you will still have to pay for some sort of advertising and are unlikely to get the passing trade or interest a broker will so the sale may well drag on.

Most sellers choose to use a broker for both their expertise and additional services they can offer potential purchasers, and of course to remove the day to day responsibility for answering enquiries and administering the sale.
