Frequently Asked Questions

Each listing has an enquiry form where you can send a message to the seller. Simply fill in your name, email, and message, and we'll forward it to the seller. They'll respond to you directly.

No. Browsing listings and sending enquiries is completely free for buyers. We don't charge any fees or commissions on purchases.

After sending an enquiry, coordinate with the seller to arrange a viewing at a mutually convenient time. We recommend viewing the boat in person before purchasing.

We recommend arranging a professional marine survey and sea trial before purchasing. Check the hull condition, engine hours, safety equipment, and all documentation. If you're unsure, consider using a boat broker to help.

Head to our "List Your Boat" page and fill in the form with your boat's details. Our team will review the submission and create a professional listing for you.

At a minimum, we need the boat's category, make, year, length, location, and a description. The more detail you can provide (specs, condition, features, photos), the better your listing will perform.

Listings remain active until you ask us to remove them or mark them as sold. There's no time limit. We'll occasionally check in to confirm the boat is still available.
