Welcome to I’m selling my boat (boatsbrokerage.com)

We are based in Chichester Harbour and have been selling boats for many years.

Things have changed though and sellers are seeing the benefits and advantages of social media, wanting to have more control over their boat sale.

We want to try and simplify the boat buying and selling process, connecting sellers and buyers giving them more control over the process.

Simply put, we give your boat its own web-page, free of annoying adverts promoting other peoples boats, with a contact form that goes directly to your ‘in-box’.

If you’re happy to display your telephone number then that can be arranged too.

Your boat’s web page will display specifications of your boat as well as up-to 30 images and 3 videos. It also will have a link that you can share on social media, with friends, yacht club ‘for sale’ boards, anywhere you like. The images are yours, you paid for them, so you can share with whoever and wherever you like.

Your boat will also be visible on this site as well as our sister site

If you want to share with a traditional broker (and perhaps ask for a reduced commission*) then you can do that too.

*If your boat is worth £30,000 and the agent wants 5% then that will cost you £1500. If you ask for 1% off, because you can supply good images and video then you will pay £1200 – saving £300! and easily covering the cost of using us – as they say “a no brainer”

What we do

Brokers charge a commission fee for selling your boat, often with a minimum fee of between £1500 and £5000 and commission rates of between 4% and 8%

Simply put, they advertise your boat on various platforms, including their own website and social media, take pictures, describe the boat, conduct viewings, negotiate a price with potential buyers and produce the paperwork.

Essentially we offer the same, but you own the web-page, until the boat is sold, and can share wherever you like: social media, paid sites such as Apollo Duck, Boats and Outboards etc.

Your boat has its own contact form that goes directly to you. No one can see your email address except the person contacting you when you reply. The only contact details on your boats page are yours!

The cost

• You take the images (30) and Video (3) and carry out all viewings and negotiations.
• We provide a ‘We-Transfer’ link for you to send the images and video, that you have taken, directly to us.
