We buy sailboats across a wide range of makes, sizes and conditions. Send us the details and we'll usually respond within 48 hours with an offer or follow-up questions.
Selling a sailboat privately can mean detailed questions, repeated viewings, surveys and waiting for the right buyer. Deal directly with BoatsHaven and move forward if the offer works for you.
Don't see your make? This is only a sample. We consider a wide range of sailboats, keels and rig types. Send us the details anyway.
We consider fiberglass, aluminium, steel and wooden hulls.
Rigged, maintained and ready to sail? We consider the boat’s condition, equipment and market demand — not simply its scrap value.
Tired sails, engine service due or cosmetic wear? Still worth sending.
Engine not running? We still want the details.
Hull, keel or rig damage? We'll assess it.
An unfinished restoration or refit? Send us the details.
For sailboats, the value comes down to the hull, rig, sails, engine and documentation — and being upfront on all of them helps us give you a more accurate offer.
Condition, age and any signs of osmosis.
Keel type, condition and any known grounding or repair history.
Standing and running rigging, plus mast condition.
Age and condition of the sails included with the boat.
Make, hours, service history and whether it runs.
Papers and any recent survey help us understand the boat’s history, especially on higher-value sailboats.
From first contact to payment and collection, you always know what happens next.
Fill in the form with the make, model, year and condition, and attach any photos you have. You can also reach us by email, WhatsApp, phone or message.
We review the information and usually respond within 48 hours with an offer or follow-up questions.
Take your time to consider the offer. If you accept, we confirm the terms and prepare the documents for ownership transfer.
Once everything is agreed, we arrange secure payment and coordinate collection or transport.
Sailboat values span a wide range, from smaller cruisers to larger blue-water yachts. Make, year, rig, sails, engine condition, equipment and documentation all influence the value. Send us the details and we’ll assess the sailboat as a complete package.
Not every sale is straightforward. Finance, missing documents or other complications don't automatically rule it out. Tell us the situation and we'll review what's possible.
Outstanding finance or lease? Tell us the situation — we'll clarify what's needed step by step.
Lost registration or incomplete documents? Tell us what you have — in many cases it's still possible.
Helping a parent, an estate or a boat you co-own? Tell us your role and we'll explain what's needed.
No listings, no viewings, no waiting for the right buyer? Send us the details and we'll take it from there.
We consider cruising and racing sailboats, motorsailers, dinghies and sailing yachts across a wide range of makes, sizes and conditions.
Yes. A non-running engine affects the offer, and boats needing rig or sail work are still worth sending.
Not required. A recent survey can speed up the review on higher-value boats, but it isn't a condition of selling.
In most cases, yes. Tell us what paperwork you have and we'll let you know how it affects the process.
More on this: contracts, documents and ownership transfer.
Yes — this is common. Tell us the situation and we'll factor it into the offer and settlement.
We look at the make, year, hull condition, rig, sails, engine and documentation. Photos and detailed information help us make a more accurate assessment.
More on this: what shapes a boat's value.
No. Our review and offer are free, there's no obligation, and BoatsHaven charges no broker commission or seller fee.
We do. We arrange collection or transport from the boat's location, whether it's in the water, on a mooring, in a yard or in storage, and we prepare the transfer documents for the sale.
Tell us where it is and we'll confirm the collection or transport options. At a marina, on a mooring, in a yard or in winter storage are all fine.
Usually by bank transfer, with the amount and details confirmed in the agreement before ownership is transferred. If another method suits you better, tell us and we'll go through the options.
