Selling my boat


Stockerage

What is stockerage?


Stockerage is an alternative to standard Brokerage and Cash purchase. Stockerage is unique to Boats.co.uk. In a nutshell we agree a Guide price net return to you on listing the boat with us. We treat this guide price as a purchase price as if we had bought the boat from you. We then advertise the boat as a stock boat and not a brokerage boat. When we advertise a boat as a stock boat, we can include lots of juciy extras for the buyer that we cannot offer them on brokerage. We can offer them:

- Part exchange against your boat

- Warranty on hull engines and drives

- Full access to all our finance options

- Customisation

- Payment terms

- Flexibility


The boat is then advertised online as normal (but with stock status). As 70% of bigger boat buyers have a part exchange, the chances (and speed) of your boat being sold increase by 70%! When we get a buyer (with or without a part exchange)- we then firm up the guide price to a fixed net return. You can of course decide at this point to refuse or accept the net return. If you accept we will confirm the offer and payment terms to you in writing and we proceed to completion. Easy.

How much do I get?


Typically on stockerage you will net about 70-80% of the boats retail value, but for certain models at a certain type of the year you could end up with upto 90% of the boats value. You will be given a guide price when we accept your boat for stockerage.
