BOAT SALES
Skipperlings offers a new way of selling your boat, quickly and easily, without a broker.
What we do
We charge a one-off fixed rate to prepare your boat for market.
You maximise your sale price and save thousands on brokerage fees.
Styling your boat
We start with a consultation and then install any additional furnishing items you need to help your boat appeal to the widest market.
Photography
Quality photos are essential if you want to show it off to best advantage. Boat buyers have a lot of choice just now, so help your boat stand out from the crowd by using the best images.
Floor plans & brochures
To accompany your listing, we prepare a a professional brochure including a 2D drawing of your boat layout using CAD software.
360 Virtual Tours
A professional 360 degree tour helps to avoid time-wasters. You spend less time on showrounds whilst meeting the high expectations of authentic boat buyers.
Webpage
A webpage gives a great first impression but not many private sellers have time to create one. We can handle this job for you and use it to publicise your boat sale.
Advertising
Let us take the stress out of designing your online listings by uploading your boat details to Apollo Duck and key social media, such as Facebook, YouTube and Instagram.

do you need us?
One of the great pleasures of owning a boat is creating an interior which is very personal to you.
But when it’s time to sell your boat, you may unwittingly discourage offers from people who don’t share your taste.
Our experience will help you create a much larger audience for your boat by ensuring it appeals to a lots of prospective buyers.
Rental of any recommended furnishings and decor is included in both packages.
SALES BROCHUREs
First impressions count and a boat sale starts with the sales literature. A professional floorplan layout and sales brochure also gives prospective boat buyers all the information they need before they arrive, avoiding unnecessary showrounds.
