BoatMax™ Online has a unique propriety marketing system that allows for the successful remarket of your boat. The program is designed to meet your specific needs to sell your boat. You choose what services you want and we develop a program for you.

List Your Boat

- A complete and thorough listing will be designed for your boat.
- A proper listing for your boat will help your used boat become someone else's new boat.
Sales
- Choose this option to avoid spending your time, your precious weekends, with people who may not be qualified or who may not be willing to consider the value of your boat.
- QUALIFICATION AND REPRESENTATION WITH PROSPECTIVE BUYERS. Negotiation of price and terms, securing a deposit and working with buyer to complete the sale.
- When someone is interested in purchasing a boat, terms must be negotiated. A down payment is necessary to secure the transaction.
- Many times, buyers will want surveys, mechanical reviews, oil samples, sea trials, and many other conditions. All of these conditions must be managed.
- As your broker, we will work between the buyer, his surveyor, and whatever other parties that are necessary to complete the terms of the contract.
- Listings do not sell boats. People do. We are a people to people company when it comes to selling boats.
Escrow
- Are you aware that someone can buy your boat and keep it registered in your name? We can protect you.
- There are many cases where sellers have made statements about their boat, which later result in litigation. A boat must be sold on behalf of its owner without warranties of any type.
- As your fiduciary agent, it is our job to assist you in avoiding post sale complications.
- As escrow agent, your funds will be collected and the buyer of the boat will not be allowed to take possession until such time that the account is paid for in full.
- Title Transfer: Closing any open boat loans and liens in order to be able to transfer clear title.
Presentation
- We inventory, photograph and video your boat professionally – services that will enhance and demonstrate the uniqueness of your boat in the marketplace.
- You may have made various upgrades that make your boat special. These need to be described and broadcasted.
- We do a complete review with you of the history of the boat, its upgrades and equipment and provide the PICTURES THAT ARE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS.
