Brokerage Program

Pricing your boat is the single most important aspect of trying to sell it. Price too high, and the boat will sit. Price too low, and you will lose money.

Most people looking to sell their boat go through a third-party such as BoatTrader or NADA to get a fair market valuation of their boat, and that is a great place to start. However, you need to adjust your pricing based on current market trends, and unfortunately, you can’t get all of that information from a database.

Our team has our collective thumbs on the pulse of the current boating market in our area. We combine those indicators with the values presented by NADA to provide you a comfortable sales price that we think will sell quickly and efficiently.

With internet marketing as in-your-face as it is today, it has never been more important to strategically advertise your boat. We have a large, powerful marketing machine that runs our advertising and analytics: social media, website, automation, dynamic content, retargeting, email marketing, and paid ads.

When you list your boat with us, your boat will go onto our brand new website, be featured in social posts and advertisements, and promoted via our large email list of boating enthusiasts, many of which are looking for their next vessel.

Our marketing solutions also include third-party sites such as YachtWorld and BoatTrader, where our listings are broadcast to increase the exposure of your listing. These platforms can cost hundreds of dollars to list your boat; but when you partner with Sheltered Cove Marina, these costs are included.

Besides digital marketing, the Sheltered Cove team has a strong physical presence in the New Jersey and surrounding areas by attending boat shows, showcases, and industry-related events. Throughout the year we attend many shows, each time bringing boats and full listings of our current inventory, often making deals right there on the spot.

Our experienced, talented team handles every part of the transaction for you. From financing to demonstration rides, to haul outs, pricing, marketing, paperwork, and more. These are all items that are often overlooked when somebody tries to sell their boat privately.

Not to mention, our sales processes almost always guarantee a higher sale price than you would get by selling directly on your own.
