We’re a bit different - whenever somebody choses to list with us, we ask them why. Here's what they had to say:
Boat Brokerage
Frequently asked
questions
-
Can I take the boat for a test drive?
Absolutely. We understand the importance of ensuring the boat feels right for you. Test drives are typically arranged once a serious interest has been expressed. You'll need to schedule a time with us, and in some cases, a refundable deposit may be required. We’ll also ensure a knowledgeable representative is present to guide you during the test drive. -
How does the buying process work?
The process begins with finding a boat that suits your needs and budget. Once you've identified a boat you’re interested in, we arrange inspections, sea trials, and provide all the necessary documentation, including service history and ownership details. We also guide you through the negotiation and contract stages to make your purchase as smooth and secure as possible. -
Do you take a commission?
Yes, we operate on a commission basis, which is typically paid by the seller. As a buyer, you won’t incur any additional costs from us for our services. Our goal is to provide you with expert guidance and support while ensuring the entire transaction is transparent and fair. -
Why should I trust your brokerage?
We’ve built a solid reputation for honesty, professionalism, and transparency in the New Zealand boating community. All boats listed with us are thoroughly vetted, and we work closely with trusted marine operators to ensure you’re making an informed purchase. Our team is passionate about boating and committed to finding you the right vessel. -
Are there any guarantees when buying a boat?
While second-hand boats are sold “as-is,” we do everything possible to minimise risks. This includes assisting with inspections, arranging surveys, and verifying legal ownership. We’re here to help you make a well-informed decision, but we always recommend independent inspections for your peace of mind. -
Do you offer training for new boat owners?
Yes, we can connect you with experienced boating instructors to help you gain confidence and skills, whether you're new to boating or upgrading to a different type of vessel. Some sellers also offer an initial handover session to familiarise you with the boat's systems and handling.
Our Pledge
Why buy from us?
We only sell boats we’d take out on the water
Here's the deal. Anyone can jump on trademe and buy a boat, but do you really know who you are buying from?
When we list a boat, there's a damn good chance we've been the ones servicing it since it was new. So we tend to know what's wrong and right with that particular vessel. We then factor that into our pricing, the offer and what we write in the description.
