You’ve found a buyer for your boat.
Now what?
BoatClose.com manages the transaction from agreed deal to completed sale.
Built on the experience of more than 30,000 completed boat sales.

Why BoatClose exists
Finding the buyer is only the beginning.
Once a price is agreed, the sale still needs a contract, identity checks, deposit, ownership documents, survey or sea trial, balance of funds, Bill of Sale and handover.
BoatClose manages those steps between buyer and seller. It does not take sides or decide when a sale completes.
It does not matter where you found each other. The sale can have started through a broker, marketplace, marina, yacht club or private introduction.

Who uses BoatClose
For sales already under way.

Private buyers and sellers can use BoatClose, as can brokers, marinas, boatyards and other marine businesses.
You do not need to have advertised with Boatshed. Deadlines at each stage help keep the sale on track.
Pricing
A fixed fee before you start.
BoatClose transactions start from £950.
We review the transaction before deciding whether we can take it on. If we can, we provide a fixed quotation before you decide whether to proceed.
Making an enquiry does not commit you to proceeding.
Specialist services
Legal drafting, survey coordination, delivery or registration support are quoted separately.
