Selling or buying a boat in the private marketplace like Craiglist or Facebook Marketplace can be challenging, but most especially when it comes time to making the final transaction. Those selling their boat often contact us, asking for assistance with paperwork matters or express concern about meeting potential buyers at their house. On the other hand, those looking to buy a boat often look to us for help evaluating the condition of the boat, engine and trailer, along with other concerns about a boat’s overall value. There’s a lot of guesswork and potential uncomfortable situations for those looking to buy a boat, and those trying to sell a boat in the private marketplace.
We have listened to concerns from both sellers and buyers in the private marketplace, and have launched our Private Boat Sale Assist Program, which makes buying a boat on the private market safer and more assuring. Rather than managing a transaction in a parking lot, or at someone’s home, the buyer can bring the boat to Bridge Marina. As part of our Private Boat Sale Assist Program, Bridge Marina will inspect the boat, take the potential buyer for a test drive and assist with transaction paperwork. Learn more about our new program on our website.
