SELL YOUR BOAT WITH BOAT SHOP
Boat Brokerage in Chichester & Littlehampton
Looking to sell your boat? Boat Shop makes the process straightforward, with experienced boat sales teams at Chichester Marina and Littlehampton Marina and three flexible ways to sell.
Whether you want us to market your boat through our full brokerage service, trade it in against another boat or discuss a quick sale, we’ll help you understand your options and choose the approach that works for you.
Want to know what your boat could be worth? Send us the details and we’ll provide an estimated appraisal within 48 hours.
THREE WAYS TO SELL YOUR BOAT
Every owner’s circumstances are different. That’s why we offer three ways to sell your boat.
1. BOAT BROKERAGE
Let our experienced team manage the sale for you.
Our boat brokerage service starts with a market appraisal of your boat and practical advice on presenting and pricing it for the current market.
We’ll create the sales material, advertise your boat and handle enquiries from prospective buyers, helping make the process as straightforward as possible from initial appraisal through to sale.
Our brokerage service includes:
- Market appraisal and pricing guidance
- Professional photography
- Video of your boat
- Detailed online sales listing
- Advertising through leading boat sales websites
- Promotion through the Boat Shop website and social media
- Handling buyer enquiries
- Viewings and buyer discussions
- Negotiation support
- Assistance with the sales paperwork
With Boat Shop handling the marketing and enquiries, you don’t have to manage the selling process yourself.
2. TRADE-IN YOUR BOAT
Planning to change your current boat?
A trade-in could provide a simpler alternative to selling privately. Depending on your boat and the boat you’re looking to purchase, we may be able to take your existing vessel in part exchange against a new or pre-owned boat from Boat Shop.
We’ll assess your current boat and explain the options available, allowing you to make an informed decision before proceeding.
It can mean less advertising, fewer enquiries and viewings to manage yourself, and a more straightforward route into your next boat.
3. QUICK SALE
If speed and convenience are more important to you than going through the full brokerage process, talk to us about a quick sale.
Send us the details of your boat and our team can assess whether it is something we would be interested in purchasing directly.
We’ll provide an estimated appraisal within 48 hours, giving you an indication of the options available without committing you to proceed.
HOW OUR BOAT BROKERAGE SERVICE WORKS
Selling a boat doesn’t need to be complicated. Our team can manage the process from initial appraisal through to completion.
Boat Appraisal
Tell us about your boat, including its make, model, age, engine, specification, condition and service history. We’ll use this information alongside our knowledge of the market to provide an initial appraisal.
Photography & Marketing
Presentation matters when selling a boat.
We’ll produce a comprehensive set of photographs and video to showcase your boat and create a detailed sales listing designed to give prospective buyers the information they need.
Advertising Your Boat
Your boat will be marketed through the Boat Shop website, our social media channels and relevant boat sales platforms, helping put it in front of prospective buyers.
Enquiries & Viewings
Our team handles buyer enquiries and can arrange viewings, answering questions about the boat and helping identify serious prospective purchasers.
Negotiation & Sale
When an interested buyer is ready to proceed, we’ll help manage the negotiation and assist with the paperwork involved in completing the sale.
