Sell Your Boat
Captain Marv's Boat Shop takes the work off your plate. We list your boat, field inquiries, and handle negotiations — all on a consignment basis with no upfront cost to you.
Veteran-Owned
We're a veteran-owned small business that takes pride in honest, straightforward service. You'll always know where things stand.
No Upfront Fees
We work on commission only. There's no cost to list, and we don't get paid until you do.
We Know Boats
Our background in marine maintenance and repair means we can represent your vessel accurately and speak credibly to buyers.
Common Questions
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Granbury, TX and primarily serve the surrounding area. Depending on where your boat is located, we may still be able to help — just reach out and we'll let you know.
Can I keep trying to sell my boat on my own?
Yes. You're welcome to continue your own efforts. Just keep in mind that if a buyer is found through our process, our consignment agreement will apply to that sale.
Should I run my own ads while you're selling my boat?
It's generally not necessary. We handle the advertising on your behalf. Running your own ads simultaneously can sometimes create confusion for buyers, so we recommend letting us manage that side of things.
What if my boat has a lien on it?
That's not a dealbreaker. We'll walk you through how the lien payoff gets handled as part of the closing process when we connect.
Is there a contract involved?
Yes. We use a straightforward consignment agreement that outlines the terms of our arrangement. We'll go over it with you before anything is signed.
How much does it cost?
There are no upfront fees. We earn a commission only when your boat sells, so our incentive is always to get you the best outcome.
How do you determine the sale price?
We look at your boat's make, model, year, condition, and comparable listings in the current market to recommend a competitive asking price.
Do I need to provide proof of ownership?
Yes. A valid title or proof of ownership is required before we can list your boat.
Where will my boat be listed?
We advertise on major boat-selling platforms and other relevant channels to reach qualified buyers.
Can I also list with a broker or dealer?
We ask that you work exclusively with us during our agreement. This keeps the process clean and avoids conflicting offers or buyer confusion.
