You agree the sale together
The Boat Market does not handle the money. The buyer sees the boat and pays you directly.

A UK boat marketplace, free for private sellers and brokers alike: no listing fee, no commission, no paid upgrades and no time limit on an advert. Buyers browse by type and by place and contact the seller directly. The Boat Market does not handle the money, check who sellers are or inspect boats, and says so plainly; its guides cover the checks a careful buyer makes. It is to be paid for by a few labelled adverts once it has the visitors.

Why The Boat Market

What makes it different

Free to list, no commission

List a boat for nothing, keep the whole sale price, and leave it up until it sells. Up to 20 photos on each advert.

The same terms for brokers

Brokers and marinas list every boat free too, with team tools switched on when they ask.

Buyers contact you directly

Each advert has an enquiry form; the enquiry is emailed to the seller and kept in their account.

Honest about what it does not do

It does not handle payments, check sellers or inspect boats. A BSS date on an advert is the seller's own information.

Are sellers or boats checked?

How is the money handled?

Directly between buyer and seller: The Boat Market does not handle payments. Its own guide explains the safer ways to pay for a boat.

How do I check a boat before I buy it?

Look it up on The Boat Index first, to see its record and whether it has been reported stolen there, and use Boat Safety Hub to find a BSS examiner.
