I am afraid that the time has come to sell my Swift Trawler 42. Much as I love her, we just don't use her enough to justify the costs, particularly the mooring costs! Any recommendations as to an effective agent?

Try talking to James at River Yacht Sales, Hamble - http://riveryachtsales.com/about-us.htm
Long standing mate of mine, thoroughly honest and knows his stuff.

Solent Motor Yachts at Swanwick have always done well for us. They even managed to sell our S41.......! Speak to Derek.

Try Clipper Marine in Swanwick - very knowledgeable and easy to deal with.

Try Brian at Jaykay marine , family run firm with excellent results and that personal touch.

We have just had an excellent experience with JayKay Marine on Hayling Island. A genuine family firm. In fact, when we do eventually come to sell our lovely first boat and upgrade, we will go straight to them.

Sorry to hear your thinking of getting out of boating, boats do need to be used if there not then its a very expensive hole in the water. If I hear anyone wanting this type of bait I'll send them your way.

Having recently changed boats James Dickens was by far the best broker I came across as a buyer. His boat details were always accurate and comprehensive and his video walkarounds were the best.

+1 for Derek at Solent Motor Yachts. Sold our previous Fairline and seems to be one of, if not the, most proactive broker on the Hamble.

http://www.jdyachts.com/ they see to be selling quite a few boats and I would think a Great boat like the Swift Trawler 42 should sell quickly.

True.......but he does broker some really nice yachts!
He sure does and a thoroughly nice chap too, spent a good hour chatting to him in Swanwick a while back, I did tell him he should start selling stinkies too.

+1 indeed - as buyer
Really made a difference in benefit of both parties of the deal. Made things happen.
Even after the deal I regularly visit his homepage to check offers. Would be my first point of contact if in need of a boat...

Chris Ibbotson at Waterside Boat Sales is worthy of consideration. Bought my small Antares7 from him and can thoroughly recommend him - no relation or interest.

Another big thumbs up for Solent Motor yachts based at RK marine on the Hamble, it's a good spot, plus as previously said Derek is as proactive as they come.
