Resources for the UK Boatbuyer

This is where I keep my boat-buying links. You're welcome to use them. For a more complete, although less discriminating list of UK sailing web resources see the UK Sailing Index. Of particular interest is the Boat Builders & Brokers page.

Second Hand Ad Sites (General)

These are sites not specific to boats. I've only included the places that I have found of use. Results are variable as the search engines are not bespoke to the boat-hunter's requirements. Generally I search for text strings (i.e. 'Swift 18') if there are too many results in the particular category. The downside is that I don't get to find out about suitable designs that aren't on my 'Wanted' list. There are however, some super deals lurking on these sites.

Second Hand Ads (Boat specific)

Adverts placed by private sellers, in specialist sites. Typically these are in yachting magazines.

Online Brokerages

I have only included details of brokerages who actually publish details of boats online. Sites which are merely 'brochures' with no content are a waste of time.
