A cash offer skips the listing. Our offer usually comes the same day we see the boat, and the sale is usually finished inside a week.

Listed where buyers look
Your boat goes on YachtWorld, Boat Trader and our own site through the same feed that sells our new boats. We also film a walkthrough for our YouTube channel, which buyers already watch.
Sold from our lot
We clean it, photograph it properly and show it ourselves, and we sell boats every day. We deal with the tire-kickers, the sea trials and the survey, so nobody turns up at your dock on a Saturday.
A service department behind it
Our Yamaha certified technicians can bring the boat up to sale condition. An engine with its service records is worth more to a buyer, and so is a boat a dealership stands behind. At closing we handle the payoff, the title and the paperwork.
•Brokerage, cash, or trade?
Broker it
You want the most money and can wait. Weeks to months, the market decides, the loan paid off at the sale. This page.
Sell it to us
You want out now and there is no next boat. A same-day offer, paid on the spot, the loan paid off at the desk. Get a cash offer →
Trade it
There is a next boat in the picture. A same-day number, one closing, the loan paid off at the desk. Value my trade →
If you are still weighing it up, sell, trade or broker your boat puts all 3 on one page.
•For reference
Brokerage questions we get every week
How does boat brokerage work at RT 113?
You list your boat with us and it sells from our dealership lot in Selbyville, Delaware. We market it where buyers look, our sales team shows it, and our service department stands behind it. Tell us about the boat and we come back with the price we would list it at, what we expect it to sell for, and how long boats like it are taking to sell right now.
What does it cost to sell my boat on brokerage?
The brokerage fee is set out in your listing agreement before anything is signed, and your settlement statement shows the sale price, each deduction on its own line, and your net proceeds. The buyer pays our documentation fee. It never comes out of your side.
What if I still owe money on the boat?
The lender is paid at the sale out of the proceeds, and the lien release is handled at our desk with the title. If the payoff is more than the boat brings, we tell you before the listing goes up, not at closing.
Does my boat have to be at your lot?
It sells best from our lot, where buyers see it beside the boats we sell new and our team shows it. If it is in the water nearby we can show it there while we arrange to bring it in.
Are there other ways to sell my boat besides brokerage?
There are 2 others. We can buy the boat outright with a cash offer if you would rather not wait, or you can trade it against your next boat. We will tell you which of the 3 suits your boat.
How do I start a brokerage listing?
The four cards above: the boat, its condition, how soon, and how to reach you. It goes to our sales board. Photos help, so add them on the second card or email them over once we are talking. If the boat suits the lot, we book a time to bring it in.
