Melbourne Boat Sales’ brokerage arm extends the opportunity for owners to sell their boats through an experienced marine outlet.
While Melbourne Boat Sales’ industry insight and sales knowledge makes selling boats much easier than through private channels, there are a number of things owners can do to ensure they get the best possible price for their boats:
A well-maintained boat is easier to sell, so owners are advised to ensure their boats are regularly detailed and serviced, ready for inspection and sea trial. (Melbourne Boat Sales can arrange all aspects of boat maintenance on behalf of owners.)
Digital photos of the boat – preferably out of its berth and including numerous angles and internal views – assist in promotional efforts. (Please advise Melbourne Boat Sales if photographic assistance is required.)
The following information is also required to effectively advertise and sell vessels on behalf of owners:
- Full inventory and service history
- Copy of vessel registration papers
- Copy of HIN certificate (if available) or request for HIN application
Melbourne Boat Sales conducts regular promotional activities, which inherently benefits all owners who have listed their boats for sale via the company’s brokerage arm.
Promotional avenues include, and are not limited to:
- Web coverage on Boatpoint.com.au, Boatsales.com.au, Yachthub.com.au and Boatsonline.com.au
- Print coverage in Trade-A-Boat magazine and other publications
- Melbourne Boat Sales’ website – www.melbourneboatsales.com.au
- Window Display at Melbourne Boat Sales – 24 Saint Mangos Lane, Docklands
- ‘For Sale’ sign placed appropriately on the boat (where permitted)
- Full-colour specification sheet available to all enquires through the above means
Melbourne Boat Sales also has a dedicated PR agency that secures extensive exposure throughout Australia’s marine and mainstream media.
Owners are encouraged to advise Melbourne Boat Sales of additional promotional avenues – all reasonable requests will be considered.
