Frequently Asked Questions

How does The Boat Yard get paid for selling my boat?

Simply tell us what you’re comfortable selling your boat for and we list it for a little more. We earn revenue through financing, warranties, and trade-ins – most buyers need these to complete the purchase.

Can you sell my boat if I have a lien?

Bank payoffs are no problem. We have experienced title clerks on-site to help ensure the lien is settled with your bank and the paperwork is transferred to the purchaser.

How long does it take?

While selling times vary, we create professional listings on over 20 national sites to help sell your boat. We have a Customer Management System filled with thousands of buyers looking for specific boats. You can leave your boat for as long as you’d like or pick it up when you like; you’ll never be charged a fee.

Do I need an appointment to sell my boat?

You do not need an appointment to sell your boat. Just bring it by during business hours and we will evaluate your boat. You will receive a cash offer or you can sell it with our free Sell Your Boat program.

What do I need to bring to sell my boat?

We ask that you bring paperwork for the boat, motor, and trailer (if applicable) and your driver’s license. The paperwork includes: boat title, boat registration, motor title, trailer title, and trailer registration. We understand the bank has the titles if you have a lien and that’s no problem.

When my boat is sold, do I have to come back to the yard?

No, once your boat arrives at the yard, your work is done. We take care of everything and send you a check.
