Do Boat Yards Sell Boats?

If you are new to the boating industry, it can sometimes be difficult to orient yourself as to what is what. There is a whole new language to learn (bow, stern, starboard, hull, helm, etc.), there are new issues that you will have to deal with that you most likely have never had to deal with before (taking on water, water pumps failing, fiberglass issues, etc.), and you will have to learn about a new maintenance and repair world. Owning a boat is sometimes similar to owning a car, but in some aspects they are completely different. One thing that you will have to get used to is boat storage and boat maintenance. What is a boat yard? What is a marina? Are they really any different? One specific question that might come up is “do boat yards sell boats?”. Read below to find out.

Are there boats for sale at a boat yard?

Typically boat yards are not a place where you can find boats for sale. Obviously there are exceptions to every rule, but boat yards are not usually a place where people go to sell their boats. They are more for repairs and storage than they are for selling. That being said, every boat yard is different, and some might have a boat for sale every now and then. If you are ever curious as to whether or not your boat yard has any boats for sale, it never hurts to call and ask.

When can you buy boats for sale at a boat yard?

If you are on the market for a boat for sale, a boat yard should not be the place you look first. Boat dealerships are a great option, along with Vessel Vendor. If you are interested in doing a private sale, you might be able to ask the person in charge of your boat yard if they know of anyone who is looking to sell their boat. Other than that, your best bet is to stick to known dealers.
