List Your Boat for Sale on Marwood Makes Marketplace

Got a narrowboat, widebeam, Dutch barge, or cruiser to sell? You can now list it on the Marwood Makes Marketplace. Whether it's a project shell or a beautifully restored liveaboard, you can advertise your boat to our audience of serious buyers.

We’ve built our platform specifically for boat enthusiasts and lifestyle seekers, so your listing gets seen by the right people. And because this is a marketplace created by boat folk—for boat folk—you’ll benefit from the trust and reputation we’ve worked hard to earn.

What You Can List

You can list any of the following:

  • Narrowboats
  • Widebeams
  • Dutch barges

From classic working boats to high-spec modern homes on water—if it floats, you can list it.

Get the Marwood Makes Stamp of Approval

All listings are reviewed by our team before going live. If your vessel meets our core standards of safety, quality, and presentation — a huge confidence boost for buyers.

To qualify, we look for things like:

  • Clear ownership and paperwork
  • A recent survey (where possible)
  • Relevant safety certificates (e.g. BSS, RCD compliance if post-1998)
  • Structural condition and hull integrity

We aim to offer our buyers peace of mind and give sellers more visibility.

What You’ll Need to List

Your listing will take around 30 minutes to complete. You’ll need:

  • A detailed description of the vessel and its history
  • 15 high-quality photos
  • Basic specs (length, beam, year, engine, builder, layout)
  • Price
  • Any recent survey details or certificates (if available)

Photos Sell Boats

The number one tip? Take great photos. The better the image, the more likely you are to get serious enquiries. We highly recommend:

  • Cleaning the boat thoroughly, inside and out
  • Using a decent camera or smartphone in good daylight
  • Taking wide-angle shots that show layout and space
  • Avoiding filters or over-editing

Certificates That Boost Buyer Confidence

While not required, we strongly recommend including:

  • Boat Safety Scheme certificate (BSS)
  • Hull survey report (within 5 years)
  • RCD certificate (for vessels built after 1998)

These make your listing more attractive, especially to first-time buyers.
