When it's time to move on, Swan Marine makes sure your boat finds the right buyer at the right price, with none of the hassle of selling it yourself.
Selling a boat privately sounds straightforward until you're dealing with prop kickers, lowball offers, and buyers who disappear after the sea trial. Swan Marine takes all of that off your hands.
We manage your sale from start to finish: appraising your vessel honestly, presenting it professionally, finding serious buyers through our network and across all major platforms, and negotiating firmly on your behalf. You stay in the loop without being buried in the process.
Appraisal & Pricing
We provide an honest market appraisal based on current comparable sales and the specific condition and features of your vessel. Getting the price right from the outset is the single most important factor in a successful sale; too high and buyers don't enquire, too low and you leave money on the table.
Enquire about this service →Pre-Sale Presentation Advice
First impressions matter. We advise on practical, cost-effective steps to present your vessel at its best, whether that's a clean-up and detail, minor repairs worth addressing, or simply the right photography angle. Small investments in presentation consistently deliver stronger sale outcomes.

Swan Marine captures professional photography and drone footage and video walkthroughs of your vessel. We then advertise across all major Australian and International recreational marine platforms and our own database and social media channels. Your listing reaches the widest possible qualified audience.
Enquire about this service →Buyer Vetting
Not every enquiry deserves a sea trial. We manage all initial buyer contact, qualify serious interest, and ensure that the people who come to inspect your vessel are genuine buyers, not browsers.
Enquire about this service →Negotiation
When offers come in, Swan Marine negotiates firmly on your behalf. We know the market, we know what your vessel is worth, and we'll make sure you get a fair outcome without leaving money on the table.
Enquire about this service →Settlement & Handover
We guide both parties through the closing process, manage the required documentation, and support a smooth, comfortable handover. We make sure the buyer understands the vessel and leaves satisfied, which protects you from post-sale issues.
Enquire about this service →A Note on Pricing
Vendors naturally want the best possible price for a vessel they've looked after and cared about. We understand that, and we'll always work to achieve the strongest realistic outcome for you.
What we'll also be honest about is what the market is actually doing. The right asking price is one that attracts serious buyers and leads to a genuine sale, not one that sits on the market for months and gradually loses appeal. We'll walk you through the market evidence together and land on a price you feel confident standing behind.
