What we can offer you

  • Dedicated Sales Team – We have dedicated sales teams across our ten marinas, meaning your boat is being sold by true experts in their field in a professional sales setting. Our offices are open 7 days a week too, so convenient if you are busy during the week.
  • Locations – All our marinas attract many visitors throughout the year, so exposure to your boat, particularly to the boating community, is upmost being moored here.
  • Competitive Commission Rate – We have a commission rate of 8% +VAT on boats sold, meaning the most cash possible is yours! We also offer a no sale, no fee proposition, so you will never be out of pocket.
  • Free Brokerage Moorings – Your boat will have free mooring for 3-6 months* on our dedicated Sales Pontoon for the duration of the sales period. These are ever popular with like-minded boaters and passersby, therefore great for maximum exposure. We also offer accompanied viewings around every boat, so our sales team can talk through all details with potential buyers in person, and keep you updated with how the sale is going first-hand. *Terms and conditions apply. Mooring location subject to availability.
  • Part-exchange considered – We may be able to accept a part-exchange offer as part of your boat purchase. If you currently own a vessel and are looking to upgrade, downsize, or change style, our team will be happy to assess your existing boat and provide a competitive offer as part of the deal.
  • Guaranteed Mooring for Purchaser – The purchaser of your boat will be entitled to a guaranteed mooring* at one of our ten inland Tingdene marinas across the UK. This is a key selling point, as it is a huge ‘to do’ already ticked off for the buyer and will give your boat sale maximum leverage. *Mooring location subject to availability.
