Useful Tips - to help you sell We can ask, and you will obtain, a higher price for your boat if you follow these useful tips.
  • Remove from the boat everything that is not included in the sale (e.g. all personal gear including cutlery, clothing etc).
  • Make good any finishes damaged if you take out equipment fitted (e.g. radio telephone, echo sounder etc)
  • Clean the boat thoroughly inside. A fresh, clean smelling boat makes a good impression on any would-be purchaser.
  • Clean and dry the bilges and engine compartment.
  • Make sure the engine runs properly, that batteries are charged and there is enough fuel for a demonstration. All our customers are given a run-out before they complete a purchase, so it is worth making sure the engine will not you down at the last moment.
  • Check that all electrics and mechanical gear are in working order.
  • If the hood or canopy need repair or replacement, then get it done. (The canopy is usually a customer's first impression of the boat).
  • Clean and polish the outside, including scrubbing the waterline. Then keep it clean by washing off regularly.
  • It is likely that any purchaser will want to have your boat surveyed by a qualified marine surveyor. Sometimes a purchaser may forego this option if you can prove a regular and recent maintenance record with a full service history (invoices etc). Make up a file to keep on the boat.
  • If winter approaches, then have the engine(s) and domestic services winterised. Put a label on the steering wheel to indicate the recommissioning procedure.


    • If you do not berth at one of our marinas, then advise your own Marina or berth owner that the boat is currently for sale on our Brokerage List.
