Based on the upper reaches of the Hamble River, we specialise in the sale of new and used motor boats and RIBs.
SERVICES:
BROKERAGE
With over 12 years experience of motor boat sales on the South Coast we are able to offer a professional brokerage service for all powered craft regardless of size or value.
We offer a very competitive commission rate of 5% + VAT for all listings over £20,000 and 8% + VAT for all listings under £20,000.
We market our listings through the most prominent online advertising portals, which are constantly monitored to analyse activity. All enquiries are responded to the same day and we are pleased to be able to react to potential purchasers interest with knowledge and experience.
We take care of all of the marketing, viewings, price negotiation, post-survey negotiation, sea trial and transfer of title, including accumulation of title paperwork and preparation and completion of a Bill of Sale.
As members of the BMF, you can be assured that all funds exchanged during a brokerage transaction are held in a separate client account. A letter from our bank confirming this arrangement is held by the BMF and is available to customers should they wish to see it.
Our aim is to provide a pro-active and creative service, working with sellers and buyers to put together deals which are mutually attractive.
STOCK BOATS
We occasionally have some used boats which are taken into stock and given a thorough refurbishment - normally including a full engine and drive service, cut back and polish, antifouling and professional valeting. They may even benefit from new upholstery and covers. These craft are marked on our website as stock and benefit from a 3 month mechanical warranty.
If you have a boat you are trying to sell please do discuss the opportunity of us buying the boat for stock. It is important to note that we will not be able to offer you the same money as if you were selling the boat on brokerage, as we have to spend money on the boat to present it for sale and provide a warranty, however you will save the brokerage commission and you will receive a bank transfer for the money the same day.
If you would like us to make an offer for your boat please send an email with the following information:
1) Make, model and year of boat?
2) Make, model, year and hours of engine?
3) Date of last service?
4) Trailer included and date of last service?
5) Location of boat?
Please also attach a selection of recent photographs. If you do not provide all of the above information, or any photographs, it will delay us making an offer.
