Yes, but we’ll need to see your ID, a letter of authorisation signed by your company director and the company’s bank account details e.g. a paying in book or bank statement, as well as the documents for the boat.

Yes you can, but your family member or friend needs to know about it! You’ll need to have your relative’s or friend’s ID with you and written confirmation from them stating they’re happy for their boat to be sold.

You’ll also need two forms of your own ID, as well as the documents for the boat.  The money will be paid into your relative or friend’s bank account, so the bank account details must match those on their ID.

Yes. We appreciate that you’re bound to be going through a difficult time and the last thing you need is more stress.

If you have a vessel to sell, we’ll do our best to make it as simple as possible.

To sell the boat you need to have power of attorney or probate (an instruction in the will to say that the boat has been passed to you). Legally, you’ll also need to have your relative’s death certificate with you, as well as your ID and the documents for the boat.

Yes, we can pay cash for boats. We can also pay by bank transfer or cheque it’s completely up to you.

Before we can buy your boat, we do need to see some proof of ownership. We cannot purchase a boat without evidence that you own it or have the legal authority to sell it. With inland waterway boats, this is often simpler to establish, but with coastal boats we would usually expect to see some form of supporting paperwork.

We know this is not always easy, especially as some boats change hands without a complete paper trail. That is not necessarily a problem. If you can provide a written and signed statement confirming that you are the owner and are entitled to sell the boat, we can often still agree a deal.

You can deliver the boat to us if you like. Although we are happy to collect boats. If we can get it on the trailer then we will come and collect ourselves. If not we will use one of our many trusted Boat Transport companies.

Yes, we will buy any boat from anywhere in the UK, Ireland and Europe. However, we can’t buy every boat! Some boats may just not be worth making an offer on and we will tell you the truth when you send us the boat details. We also know that some boats that are end of use are just not worth buying as they would cost to scrap.

We can often buy your boat on the very same day you contact us. If you send us clear details about the boat, a good set of recent photographs, and a realistic idea of the price you want, we can usually assess it quickly and make an initial offer by phone or email there and then. It is a fast, straightforward way to get a serious offer without the delays and uncertainty that often come with selling privately or through a broker.

Any offer made by phone or email is always subject to us seeing the boat in person. However, as long as the boat is broadly in the condition you described and matches the details and photographs you sent, our offer is unlikely to change. We aim to be fair, transparent and easy to deal with, so there is no unnecessary back-and-forth and no surprises.

During busy periods, it can sometimes take our team a couple of days to reply to an initial enquiry. If you have not heard from us after four days, please give us a call. We are a hands-on boat buying business, not just an office-based team, and we are often out viewing, collecting, transporting and inspecting boats across the UK and Ireland. That means we may occasionally miss an email while we are on the road.

We buy boats anywhere in the UK, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and in many cases we can move very quickly. Sometimes we are able to view a boat, agree the deal and make payment on the same day. That is the benefit of dealing directly with a genuine buyer rather than a brokerage. We buy boats ourselves, take ownership ourselves, and sell them on ourselves, which means there is no middleman, no waiting for a buyer to appear, and no drawn-out negotiations. Just a quick, direct and hassle-free sale.

We make trade offers for boats, which means the price we offer will usually be lower than you might achieve through a private sale or by using a broker. The benefit of selling to us is speed, certainty and convenience. You get a straightforward deal, a quick decision and fast payment, without the delays, viewings and uncertainty that often come with selling on the open market.

In many cases, a trade offer may fall somewhere between 40% and 60% of a boat’s market value, but every boat is different and there is no fixed formula. The final offer will depend on factors such as condition, age, specification, demand and how quickly we believe the boat can be resold. If we feel your boat is particularly desirable and likely to sell quickly, we may be able to offer a figure closer to its market value.

Yes, we can buy vessels with outstanding finance. The outstanding balance will be paid by us, directly to your finance company. When we collect the boat; we’ll pay your finance company there and then.  The remaining balance will be paid into your bank account. This means your finance will be paid off and you’ll have the money for your boat instantly. If you can ask your finance company for a settlement letter or figure beforehand, the whole process will be even quicker.

If you owe more money on your boat than the finance settlement figure (your boats. valuation is less than the settlement amount) then all you’ll need to do is pay us the difference by debit or credit card, which you’ll be able to do when we come to inspect and collect the vessel.

We’ll buy boats and yachts that aren’t running, and we are able to collect them.

We can buy imported yachts, motorboats and jet skis; just give us a ring or drop us an email and we’ll be happy to discuss it further.

We never like turning down boats. We understand that you come to us because you may want a quick sale or may be fed up with the broker trying to sell your boat.

Our team will always do our best to make an offer for your boat. We must carefully consider what boats we buy as we are not a large multinational company with unlimited storage space. Or unlimited funds for that matter!

When we buy boats we can only offer a trade price. This is because we intend to buy your boat and then try and sell it on to make a profit. We made no effort to hide our intentions as that is simply the way the business works.

Sometimes we may think your boat just won’t offer us a return. We have to factor in more than a private buyer would. As all of the transport costs and possible repairs we will need to do will eat away at any margin. Rather than making silly low offers for boats we will often tell Boat Owner to list the boat for sale on an auction website.

There are other reasons we may turn down your boat. We may deem it to be end of life so will be more suited to our Boatbreakers solution. Or the boats may need costly repairs or new parts that we simply don’t want to get involved with.
