When encountering an old, green, and dirty boat, the immediate impulse might be to break the boat up, and scrap her. Fortunately for our wallet and the planet, in many cases the dirt is all but superficial.
What is Re-Homing?
Re-Homing is a service designed to find a new enthusiast who will take on an old boat for free and restore it. This is not just another marketplace listing; we proactively search for a suitable new owner. Our process involves sifting through potential candidates to ensure they are responsible and ready to act now, thus saving you from the hassle of dealing with viewings, negotiations, delays and more delays.

Our Solution
We offer a seamless Re-Homing process. Through our extensive marketing network, which includes a large following of enthusiastic boaters, we find a new owner who is eager to take on a new project. This approach allows you to dispose of an unfinished project or an old boat with minimal cost. The new owner takes the boat for free but covers all related expenses, such as lifting and transport.

We are re-homing several boats every month. Big and small, from sailing dinghies to big motor boats. You can always see what we have on our Facebook page.
