What is Boat Brokerage?

Boat brokerage is a professional boat selling service where brokers such as ourselves act as intermediaries in buying and selling boats. We manage the entire boat sales process in-house, including coming up with a valuation, managing marketing, arranging viewings, and overseeing all negotiations, surveys, and legal transfers.

As one of the UK’s leading boat brokers with a headquarters in Chertsey Marina on the River Thames near London, we leverage over 100+ years’ of maritime expertise to ensure a fair price for your vessel, as well as a smooth sales transaction.

How Does Boat Brokerage Work?

A boat broker acts like a real estate agent, managing the sale of used and pre-owned boats from start to finish. This takes the stress out of managing a sale yourself.

Here at Bates Wharf, our UK boat brokerage service works as follows:

A fair price is agreed for your model
We will then prepare and advertise your boat via different channels
Enquiries are handled by ourselves
We will arrange surveys, viewings & sea trials
We will then oversee all financial negotiations, including managing contracts and legal documentation.

As a result, our clients benefit from expert maritime market advice, professional marketing, and reduced stress. Ultimately, our goal is to ensure our clients receive the best possible price for their vessel and have a seamless experience from the initial valuation right through to the final sale.
