What to do with your unwanted boat?
What type of Unwanted boat do you have?
There are all kinds of unwanted boats around the UK and Europe, and indeed the rest of the world. Whether it’s a boat you’ve inherited, a boat you’ve loved and looked after for years but can no longer afford or want. Or it’s a boat that is at the end of its life and you need to get rid of it.
When it comes to getting rid of them, your options depend on the current condition of the boat and your situation. We have outlined the options we can provide to help you dispose of your unwanted boat below:
Option 1: Trade it to BuyAnyBoat.net
If you are looking for a quick sale and the boat is still in a fair condition, you can try offering your unwanted boat to BuyAnyBoat.net for a trade sale.
Simply fill in their form, making sure to supply some recent pictures and they will get back to you within a few days with either an offer to buy your boat, or to say it’s not one they are looking to buy.
Option 2: List and Sell the boat yourself
If the boat isn’t something BuyAnyBoat.net are interested in, or the boat is in a project condition, you can try and list the boat yourself.
There are many places available online where you can sell a boat, from sites like eBay and Gumtree to various classifieds sites. We offer a couple of free options you can use:
Boatscrapyard Marketplace
The marketplace is completely free to join and a great place to list your unwanted boat on. There are no final selling fees unlike some other sites and is dedicated to marine items and boats only.
Boatscrapyard Facebook Group
With over 35,000+ members at the time of writing, the Boatscrapyard Facebook Group is the perfect place to advertise your unwanted boat / project boat to thousands of boat enthusiasts all around the world.
It’s free to join and you can even share your Marketplace advert in the group if you created one.
Option 3: Scrap the boat with Boatbreakers
If you’ve had no luck with the options above or your unwanted boat is at the end of its life, then scrapping the boat is the last option available to you.
Boatbreakers make the disposal process as simple as possible. Just fill in a short form about your boat, provide some pictures and you’ll receive an FREE, No Obligation quotation to dispose of your unwanted boat. The Boat Breakers team will then contact you and take care of the rest.
