Service · Re-homing
Re-home your boat instead of breaking her
For boats that are neither good enough to sell nor bad enough to scrap. We find a responsible enthusiast who takes her on for free, and spare you the viewings, haggling and time-wasters.
Listing fee
The listing runs as long as it takes. If no new owner is found, the fee goes towards disposal instead.
Your listing fee
What the £250 pays for
- A listing written for her. We turn your photos and notes into a full listing page on our website.
- An email to about 2,800 people on our boat mailing list.
- An online marketing campaign, including our Facebook page, followed by over 19,000 people.
- Applicants vetted for you. We read every application, and only the one we select is put in touch with you.
- Processing of a £200 deposit to deter time-wasters, from only one chosen applicant, held by us and refunded when she's collected on time.
No time limit, no risk
The listing runs until she finds a home, and the new owner pays for her lifting and transport – usually within two weeks.
If no new owner comes forward, the whole £250 goes towards her disposal, so you don't pay twice.

You and the new owner are put in touch to exchange paperwork and transfer the boat. The new owner pays for lifting and transport.
#happyNewOwner
The deposit is refunded and we publish a picture of her with her new owner.
Which boats suit re-homing?
- Stalled DIY projects after a change of circumstances
- Inherited boats, when the new owner isn't a boater
- Boats that can't be maintained because of health or work
When a boat looks old, green and dirty, the first impulse is to break her up. In many cases the dirt is only superficial.
If re-homing isn't right
Decent condition? We can sell her at auction through our partner platform.
Beyond restoration? We remove and dispose of her responsibly.
