Sell or Trade Your Boat Stress-Free with Bridge Marina

Parting ways with your boat can be a big decision, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Whether you’re looking to upgrade, move on from boat ownership, or explore other options, there are various ways to sell or trade your boat with ease.

Here are a few paths you can take to make selling or trading your boat a smoother experience:

Consignment: Let Someone Else Handle It

Selling your boat through our consignment program is a stress-free way to maximize your boat’s trade-in value. When you consign your boat with an experienced team like Bridge Marina, they manage the process – from listing your boat to include a captivating description and professional media, to handling customer inquiries and showings; all require a good amount of time and expertise.

The consignment option is ideal for boat owners who are looking for a turnkey solution to selling their boat and don’t have the time, interest and/or know-how to list their boat on Facebook, Craiglist or other platforms.

P.S. When looking into boat consignment, make sure you’re partnering with a trusted dealership that has experience in selling boats similar to yours. Bridge Marina’s expertise in the pre-owned boat market ensures your boat will get the exposure it needs to attract serious buyers and secure a great price.

Trade-In: Upgrade to a New Boat or Boating Experience

Want to continue boating without owning your current boat? If you’re not ready to leave on-the-water fun behind, you can trade your boat in for a new model or a Bridge Marina Boating Club membership.

Trading in allows you to put the value of your boat toward something new. Many boat owners who want to change up their boating experience find this option most appealing.

One boating experience to try as an alternative to owning a boat is a Boating Club membership. Bridge Marina provides current boat owners with an easy solution to trade-in their boat and join. As a Bridge Marina Boating Club member, you can enjoy hassle-free boating without the stress and costs of ownership. No more boat winterization and service, storage or docking fees, or unexpected repairs! Boating Club members enjoy a fleet of gorgeous boats: high-performance triple pontoons, sleek bowriders, and sporty center consoles.

Private Boat Sale Assist Program: Receive Expert Guidance in the Private Market

Selling your boat on marketplaces like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace can be a great way to sell fast, but this option often presents challenges. From pricing your boat to negotiating with potential buyers and handling paperwork, having a professional extra hand can make all the difference.

If you’re not sure where to start, look into a Private Boat Sale Assist Program from a trusted marina. These programs can help with pricing advice, marketing your boat, ensuring a safe and secure transaction, and handling the required paperwork.

Whether you’re looking to sell, trade, or explore new boating opportunities, knowing your options can make the process much easier. By choosing the method that fits your needs, you can make the transition smooth and stress-free.
