Cash for Charter Boats and Commercial Vessels

A vessel with current survey and clean documentation is worth the most, because a buyer can put it straight to work. If your boat is in that position, get the certificates, the maintenance log and the engine hours together before you call - they materially affect the number.

A vessel out of survey is a different conversation. Re-certification can involve slipping, plate thickness testing, engine and steering work, safety equipment renewal and stability documentation, and the cost of that programme comes off any commercial buyer offer. We price it realistically rather than pretending the work does not exist, and we still buy.

An end-of-life vessel is valued on recovery: main and auxiliary engines, gensets, gearboxes, shafts and props, hydraulics, electronics, deck gear, and the aluminium or steel in the hull. That is often more than owners expect, and it is always better than paying a contractor to make the boat disappear.

Winding down a marine operation is rarely just about the boats. There are tenders, trailers, moorings and pens, dive compressors and cylinders, safety and hire equipment, workshop stock and often a vehicle or two. Selling all of that piecemeal takes months of your time at exactly the point you want the business closed.

We take the whole package. One valuation, one settlement, one collection programme, coordinated across however many locations the assets are spread over. If some items are worth more sold individually we will tell you that rather than absorb them quietly into a bulk price.

Operators replacing rather than exiting are welcome too. We can take the old vessel off your hands on a timetable that matches the new boat arriving, so you are not paying to berth two boats at once.
