And we'll locate your next boat
What do you want to use it for? How many / who will be on board? Where are you going to pen/moor it?

To be completely truthful, we don't know. Whilst some owners are fixed on their price, usually, most will negotiate.

Some are in a hurry to sell; others are prepared to wait for the right offer. So how do you find out?
It's like fishing. You need to bait your hook and put a line in the water to see if there are any bites. That's where we come in.

Generally, we know the owner and have spoken to them at length about their vessel. We can send you full size pictures and inventory details and also find out further information from the owner on your behalf without you having to commit or speak with him. When you are satisfied with the information supplied, you are welcome to speak with the owner yourself as well (if you want or need to). A chat with a Boatlocator staff member will put you in the picture. So, how do I make an offer?

It's easy! Simply click the "make an offer" button and fill in your details. You can't make a mistake. There is not a button to submit or send. You can't accidently press something and commit yourself. The only way it works is to fill in your details and your offer and press print on your browser. This will then print the offer out on your printer. Then, simply sign and fax to 08 9246 4899. This is the only way we can receive your offer!!

The top section is your details, details of the vessel and the box marked "purchase price" is where you type in the amount you are prepared to pay. In the box marked Settlement date, type in the date you think you can settle (take delivery)
