    Frequently Asked Questions

    Everything you need to know about selling your boat through Tingdene.

    How long does it typically take to sell a boat?
    Timescales vary depending on the type, condition, and price of your boat, as well as seasonal demand. On average, well-priced boats sell within 4–12 weeks. We'll give you realistic expectations during the valuation stage.
    Does my boat need to be moored at a Tingdene marina?
    No — we can broker boats moored elsewhere in the UK. However, boats displayed at our marinas do benefit from increased visibility to the thousands of visitors and berth holders across our 12 locations.
    Are there any upfront costs or listing fees?
    No. Our brokerage service is completely free to list. We only charge a commission when your boat successfully sells, so there's no financial risk to you.
    What happens if my boat doesn't sell?
    If your boat doesn't sell, you owe us nothing. We may recommend a price adjustment based on market feedback, but there is no obligation or penalty for withdrawing your boat from sale.
    Do I need to be present for viewings?
    No. Our sales team manages all viewings on your behalf. We'll present your boat professionally and keep you updated on interest and feedback after each viewing.
    Can I part exchange my boat for a different one?
    Yes! We offer part exchange against any boat in our stock. We'll provide a fair valuation on your current vessel and apply it toward the purchase of your new boat. Finance is available on the balance if needed.
    How do you determine the value of my boat?
    Our team considers the age, condition, make, model, and specification of your boat, along with current market conditions and recent comparable sales. We aim to price competitively while maximising your return.
