Sell Your Boat on Brokerage
As professional yacht brokers our objective is the same as yours i.e. “To sell your boat as soon as possible for the best market price”. We have years of experience of brokering and selling river and canal boats. We follow established professional guidelines and have both Professional Indemnity Insurance and a separate Client Account for handling deposits and sales proceeds. You can rest assured that, if we are involved, the complexities of selling or buying a used boat through us will be handled quickly, correctly and professionally.
River Thames Clients
We are based at Shepperton on the River Thames which due to its central location on the river and being near London with easy transport links, generates excellent footfall. But we also have a digital mind-set and with great advertising and media coverage, boats sell throughout the UK and EU. Your boat berthed on our exclusive sales berths gives you the very best chance of a sale and potential customers the best opportunity to view and progress a sale.
If you list your boat with us we will give her maximum exposure in the UK inland waterway scene. In addition to our extensive database of prospective buyers, our brokerage marketing programme will include details of your vessel across the following websites:

What is This Going to Cost?
Sell Your Boat For Cash
In some circumstances we will buy your boat for cash. We can offer a quick, discreet boat purchase for cash for selected models. We specialise in narrowboats, river cruisers and day boats on trailers, but will consider any make VAT paid and can clear existing finance.
Based upon many years experience of the boating industry, we provide a realistic trade valuation, allowing you to sell your boat and receive the money within as little as 7 days – saving you time, broker’s fees, mooring charges and service fees.
You can sell your boat quickly and discreetly. You will receive a provisional valuation within 48 hours (if your boat falls within our buying criteria) and we will clear outstanding finance.
How it Works:
- You send us your boat details using our online form
- We’ll get back to you with a provisional offer (if your boat falls within our buying criteria)
- A trial/viewing will be arranged if the provisional offer is acceptable
- A final offer is agreed after viewing
- We prepare the necessary documentation to buy the boat from you, pay you, and transfer title
Documentation is an essential requirement for any boat sale. Without the following documents we may not be prepared to make an offer on your boat, so it is imperative that you have some of the following available for your boat:
