Best place to sell my boat

[Elza_Skip]

Well after 4 years we have decided to trade-up from our S23 to somthing about 30 foot or so.

We will be buying second hand so a trade-in is out of the question so we need to sell the current one first.

the boat is in Cardiff so a little off the beaten track but I am still consdiering using a broker (value is aroung £35K so still quite a significant transaction) and am in 3 minds about using a local broker, a big name like Ancasta or new technology like Boatshed and was after your thoughts

As for the new boat suggestions welcome (I'm bracing myself!)
-we have a budget of c 80K
-Would like 2 cabins
-Easy side deck access (The wife/crew is not that mobile)
-Better sea keeping
-Ultimate speed less important than ability to make good headway in moderate conditions
-confidence for sea passages
-Saloon on main deck level
-nice to have is 2 engines and a flybridge
So far we are thinking Beneteau S9 or 9.8, Jenneay MF9.25, earlier Failine etc

Why not PX it with Essex Boatyards? They have a 2008 Antares S9 in for £69,950. Give them a ring. They will give you a price to swap which will include picking yours up and dropping the new one off. It really is that easy....have done it twice with them.

I also think your Valuation is a bit high on your own boat, but good luck anyway.
