Buying Boats on Boatlocator.com.au
And we'll locate your next boat
The Smart Way to Buy
When you buy through Boatlocator, you get the benefits of shopping Australia wide online without having to give up the professional service and safety of traditional boat sales.
Using our website, we are able to offer a wider range of vessels than traditional dealers or brokers and we have the luxury of choosing whether or not to list a vessel based on its value for money and condition. But unlike buying privately as you would through any other website, Boatlocator is staffed by people who sell boats for a living who are here to broker a deal together between yourself and the seller and transact the sale safely. Whether you're a first time buyer, or you have purchased many boats, having professional help at hand is something you really can?t do without.
Negotiating a Deal
Negotiation is a skill in itself and the art of negotiating is one of the most important benefits you will gain in buying any vessel through Boatlocator. Once you've found the right boat, having a party independent of both buyer and seller to work through conditions and put together a deal acceptable to all is a major plus in any major purchase. In fact, we pride ourselves on that aspect of our service because we like to see both our buyers and sellers come back to buy and sell their next boats.
Offer & Acceptance and more paperwork
While the negotiations are proceeding, behind the scenes a lot more work is going on to allow you to purchase a vessel with confidence. We provide a contract for sale by offer and acceptance to make the sale legal, we organise registration and ownership transfers, obtaining payout figures, due dates and paying out finance contracts, distributing funds to owners, inspectors, marine surveyors and other services used for due diligence and help finding marine surveyors who are both independent of us and the seller.
Finance and Insurance
Coordinating finance and insurance for a boat sale can easily get out of hand. Having one point of contact with all the details of the boat as well as the buyer' details makes it far easier to orgainse invoices and documentation, insurance quotes and certificates of currency. As part of the service we do the leg work for you to help your sale go smoothly and get your new boat to you as quickly as possible.
Transport and Delivery
While we always start looking for a boat that's close to you, if we find the right boat interstate or overseas it won't be beyond your reach. While any website can show you boats from all over Australia, Boatlocator is staffed by people with the experience you need to put an interstate deal together as well as the contacts and experience needed to organise transport and delivery.
