General Listing

The General Listing allows the boat owner to register with us the sale of their vessel. In some cases the owner prefers to list with other brokerages whilst also being listed with ourselves. Commitment to national and local advertising will be limited, which results in less exposure for your boat. General Listings are registered on our in-house database, which is searched when a purchaser has made a specific request for that type of vessel. We will also complete a free appraisal. A summary of your boat details will be available on our Web site. Wall listings, together with photographs will be distributed to all our offices.

Sole Agency listing

The Sole Agency Listing ensures premier promotion by the Gulf Group. You have an agreed marketing campaign for your vessel. Your vessel will be given detailed exposure at our eleven branches plus major national and local boating magazines and newspapers. Your boat specification and photographs will be advertised on the Gulf Group Internet pages giving international exposure.

The Gulf Group can also Auction or Tender your boat. Contact Gulf Group to find out the total service package offered under the Service Listing.

Sales Berths

We have sales berths available .If you feel your boat is not easily accessible to purchasers or not in a position for constant exposure, the sales berths are available as part of our overall service. Please discuss your requirements when listing as space is always in high demand.

Marina Sales

Gulf Group has a wide selection of marina berths listed for sale plus information pertaining to their individual marina licences. Please contact us, whether buying or selling, and we will gladly discuss details with you.
