How much does boat consignment cost?

ConsignYourBoat operates on a zero-upfront-fee performance model. We only collect a standard brokerage commission upon the successful sale and closing of your vessel. No sale, no fee. Ever. There are no listing fees, photography fees, or marketing charges.

Does my boat need to be at your facility?

No. Your boat stays in your possession at your own dock, slip, or marina during the entire listing period. We coordinate all buyer showings and sea trials directly at your location.

What types of boats do you accept for consignment?

We work with a wide range of recreational and semi-commercial vessels including powerboats, sailboats, center consoles, cruisers, sport fishers, pontoon boats, deck boats, high-value yachts, and trawlers. Vessels typically range from 20 to 100+ feet.

How long does it take to sell a boat through consignment?

Our average time from active listing to signed purchase contract is 14 days, thanks to our multi-platform syndication strategy across YachtWorld, Boat Trader, Boats.com, and our private buyer network. Complex or high-value vessels may take longer.

Do you handle sea trials and marine surveys?

Yes, absolutely. Our licensed brokers manage all logistics including scheduling and coordinating sea trials, working with buyer-appointed marine surveyors, and arranging haul-outs when required.

How are funds handled at closing?

All transactions are processed through a licensed marine escrow account. Title transfers only once funds are fully verified and cleared. You receive a direct bank wire to your account, typically the same business day as closing.

What commission does ConsignYourBoat charge?

Our commission is a standard industry brokerage percentage collected only upon successful sale. There are absolutely no upfront costs, no hidden fees, and no charges if your boat does not sell.

Can I still use my boat while it is listed for consignment?

Yes. You retain full use and possession of your vessel during the listing period. We simply ask that you keep it available for buyer showings and sea trials with reasonable advance notice.

What happens if my boat does not sell?

You are under no financial obligation. If your vessel does not sell, you owe nothing. Our interests are fully aligned with yours. We only earn when you earn.

Do you list boats nationwide?

Yes. ConsignYourBoat serves boat owners across all 50 U.S. states. We coordinate remote listings and can arrange professional photography teams and broker representation in major boating markets including Florida, California, Texas, New York, Washington, and the Great Lakes region.

What documentation do I need to consign my boat?

Typically you will need: the vessel title or USCG documentation, current registration, maintenance and service records, any existing surveys, and hull identification number (HIN). Our intake team will guide you through the full documentation checklist.

What is marine consignment brokerage?

Marine consignment brokerage is a service where a licensed boat broker sells your vessel on your behalf. Unlike a private sale where you handle all negotiations, showings, and paperwork yourself, a consignment broker manages the entire sales process: photography, marketing, buyer vetting, sea trials, surveys, and closing. They earn a commission only upon successful sale.

Is ConsignYourBoat a licensed brokerage?

Yes. ConsignYourBoat is a licensed marine brokerage. Our brokers hold the required state licenses and professional credentials to legally represent vessel transactions and operate marine escrow accounts in accordance with applicable regulations.

What platforms do you list boats on?

We syndicate every listing across the top marine marketplaces including YachtWorld, Boat Trader, Boats.com, and our proprietary private buyer and broker network. This multi-channel approach maximizes buyer exposure and accelerates the sale timeline.

What makes ConsignYourBoat different from other boat brokers?

Our combination of zero upfront fees, cinematic-grade drone and DSLR photography, and aggressive multi-platform syndication across YachtWorld, Boat Trader, and Boats.com, plus a dedicated senior broker assigned to every listing, delivers a premium result. We focus entirely on maximizing your sale price with no upfront cost to you.
