Best site to sell a boat?
 

Been lurking since 2015, finally made an account because I need to ask: what's the best site to sell my boat? Looking to downsize currently. I've used Yachtworld, BoatTrader, and Sell-A-Boat, but Sell-A-Boat's been the only one I've really enjoyed. Any other places I can check out?

I'd sure put it in Craigslist.

If you’re on Facebook they have Facebook Marketplace which is free and I’d say safer than using craigslist. All communication goes through FB and not mere email.

Good luck. Btw, what are you selling?

Tim, questions and answers on Craigslist goes thru Craigslist, unless you decide to bypass the
system.

A lot depends on the boat and where you live. Smaller boats that are
popular in your area can be sold on Craigs list. Beware of scams
however, and do not accept cashiers checks under any circumstances. I
have a neighbor who sells used cars on Craigs list and he does all of
his transactions in cash. A buyer using a bank or credit union can be
OK as long as you go there together and close the transaction under
their supervision. For larger, more expensive boats you need wider
coverage and help from a broker. Yachtworld is the best site for that
but first you'll have to find a local broker who can post your
listing. You can't do that directly. The broker will typically get a
10% commission out of your selling price.

You’d be right John. I’ve ever bought anything from Craigslist...
