SELLING YOUR BOAT
Why use Rugby Boat Sales when I could try selling privately?

We provide free moorings at Stowe Hill, on the Grand Union canal in Northants, and at Audlem, on the Shropshire Union Canal in Cheshire, while your boat is on brokerage. We make no charge if we do not achieve a sale. At Stowe Hill we conduct all viewings leaving you without the stress of time wasters and tyre kickers. We are members of the British Marine Federation's Boat Retailers and Brokers Association - with a dedicated protected client account for customers' funds, professional indemnity insurance and proper paperwork issued with each sale for the protection of both vendor and buyer. We can arrange to move your boat to our moorings if you do not have the time to do so, or we can market it from your home mooring if you prefer.
Quite simply, we offer a quality of marketing and investment in targeted advertising and promotions which a private seller cannot match, and other brokers do not have the marketing experience or IT skills to do. In a competitive buyers' market good presentation and maximum exposure in this modern internet-driven world is crucial.
Rugby Boat Sales provides an integrated brokerage service from start to finish. Whether your boat is moored here at Stowe Hill or on its home mooring elsewhere, RBS has an enviable reputation for marketing, salesmanship and customer relations.
We produce full colour brochures with numerous pictures and a detailed description of the boat, with an easy-to-read layout plan.
We advertise in waterways' magazines and on the internet through Google, Yahoo!, Canal Junction, Apollo Duck and of course our own website. These days the importance of a prominent and up to date website cannot be stressed too highly. Using the latest web development tools and on line advertising the Rugby Boat Sales web site has become one of the most popular brokerage sites available. At the time of writing, June 30th 2010, this website is the highest ranked of any individual UK brokerage (source: Alexa Web Rankings).
This high profile service is backed up by sound industry recognised sales documentation and good practice, such as a dedicated client account in which to hold customer funds.
Rugby Boat Sales makes no charge for mooring at Stowe Hill Wharf or Overwater Marina while your boat is for sale with us.
Rugby Boat Sales also specialises in selling from the owner's own mooring.
Rugby Boat Sales does not charge for marketing. The only charge is the brokerage commission payable on completion of a sale. NO SALE, NO FEE.
Our terms are simple - we ask for a 20 week period after which either side may terminate the brokerage agreement with a fortnight's written notice without penalty.
