Marwood Makes Marketplace is the go-to platform for buying and selling beautiful boats across the UK. Whether you're after a narrowboat, widebeam, Dutch barge, or a newly refurbished floating home, this is your trusted online hub. We're not boat brokers—we're lifelong boat builders and restorers offering a curated marketplace of handpicked, high-quality used and new boats.

We're a small, passionate team led by Jason and Mollie—known for our craftsmanship, honesty, and obsession with beautiful boat design. We've spent years building, fitting out, and living on boats, and we bring that expertise to every listing featured on our site.

Every listing is managed by the seller directly, but we vet each boat and listing carefully to maintain quality. Want to know more? Simply reach out using the contact options on the listing—you’ll be chatting with someone who knows the vessel inside and out.

Absolutely. Whether you’re selling a traditional narrowboat, a high-end widebeam, a Dutch barge, or even a modern liveaboard, you’re welcome to list on Marwood Makes Marketplace. We make it easy and safe to connect with serious buyers who are passionate about boats.

Login to your seller dashboard using the email you used to sign up. From there, you can edit your boat’s details, update pricing, or remove your listing entirely. It’s quick, clear, and mobile-friendly.

Make sure your images are JPG format and under 5MB. Well-lit, wide-angle shots (especially of the interior layout) help your narrowboat, widebeam, or Dutch barge stand out in search and get more clicks.

Yes! If you run a service or business related to boats—be it surveying, boat transport, moorings, or marine equipment—we’d love to work with you. Get in touch and let’s collaborate through our Marketplace network.

Buyers want to know where the boat is moored so they can plan a viewing. Including the postcode improves your listing’s visibility and trust factor—especially for those searching for “boats for sale near me” or “used boats in [region].”

No. Your data is 100% safe with us. We don’t sell, rent, or pass your information to third parties. All communication between buyers and sellers happens securely via our platform.

To protect privacy and reduce spam, some sellers choose not to show their email. Use the secure form or phone number on the listing to get in touch.

Every seller and boat on Marwood Makes Marketplace is vetted to ensure authenticity. That said, always get a survey and request a clear paper trail before making a decision. Buying a narrowboat, widebeam, or Dutch barge is a big move—we’re here to help you make it with confidence.

Never. All phone numbers on our site are standard rate—no sneaky premium lines, ever.

We’ve got dedicated Boat Buying and Boat Selling guides packed with tips, red flags, and must-knows. Whether you're new to the waterways or upgrading from a cruiser to a widebeam, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
