Frequently asked questions, quick answers

Find quick answers to the most frequently asked questions.

The seller isn't responding

No response from the seller. What could be the reason?

- Did you really provide a valid phone number?
- Was your email address perhaps incomplete, or did you make any typos?
- Did the seller even have enough time to respond?
- Perhaps the seller is currently negotiating with other interested buyers?
- The boat may have already been sold?
- The seller usually responds within a few days. If you really haven’t received a response from the seller, simply resend your lead.

We know: It’s very frustrating when you don’t get a response to a lead!

Unfortunately, we have no control over whether or when a seller responds to emails. For privacy reasons, we are unable to disclose contact information to prospective buyers. Please understand that we cannot contact the seller on your behalf.

Is there a template for the purchase agreement?

Yes, to protect both parties, we recommend using a sales contract when buying or selling a boat. You can download a sample sales contract template from our website.
