Some tips for the seller

Customize your message

First of all, try to customize your advertisement, describing the history of your boat and the reason why you want to sell it in order to win the confidence of the reader.

Define the status of your boat

You can define it as “like-new” if it is almost new or “used”, specifying its real conditions. Please indicate the state of engines, the year of registration, how many owners it has had. It is very important to indicate if the boat had had only one owner since this increases the interest towards the reader.

Use a clear simple language

It is important not to make spelling mistakes. So, please reread your message before putting it online. Language must be clear and simple, understandable to everyone.

Draw the attention from the very first lines or the title of your ad

This catches the interest of the reader, leading him to continue his reading. This is the most important step and you must summarize the message you want to get in only one line. Unfortunately, it’s hard to stand out if you don’t have something really original and attractive. So, focus on the very original details and real qualities of your boat: on the Boatandboats.com portal this brief summary will be displayed when you hover over the picture of the boat.

General Details

It is important to enter a clear general file of your boat. Please indicate: shipyard, model, length, width, draft, engines, number of cabins, year of construction, price.

Enter the details of your boat

Please complete the file with all the details of your boat, including standard and extra equipment. It is recommended to communicate as many details as possible in order to draw the reader’s attention and lead him continue his reading beyond the first lines.

Price

Please indicate the price and get ready for possible negotiations.

Some tips for the buyer

Take your time

Unless you have urgent needs, take your time and seek all the information you need. There are thousands of ads on Boats for Sale: your boat will be certainly there!

Ask for information

Don’t be afraid to contact the advertiser: there is no obligation and you can ask for all the details you need. If the seller is a company or a professional, click on his name and find out all the boats he has put on sale.

If you are interested into a boat, save it on your Favourites List and compare it with others. You can manage your Favourites List whenever you want.

Go and see the boat for yourself

An on-line service like Boatandboats’ one is useful to find ads of boats on sale but can’t replace direct contact. Boats are complex items so.. you’d better to go and see them for yourself.

Consider all aspects

Before buying a boat, please consider how you will use it, where you will go as well as maintenance costs. In order to know berthing fees, please contact the marinas and ports you find on our Online Pilot Book.

Manage negotiations by yourself

Boats for sale is a service that helps buyers ans sellers to get in touch with each other but it does never go into negotiations. So, if you have some doubts, ask the opinion of a friend of yours, an expert or a professional technician ( a naval appraiser, for example).
