Our prime location is within the south coast’s No.1 marine hub. This ensures your boat is seen by an endless flow of boating enthusiasts looking for their perfect vessel. You can find Salterns Brokerage on the north shore of the world famous Poole Harbour – adjacent to the Sandbanks peninsula. Hundreds of thousands of sea lovers visit our location every year. Additionally, the busy offices at the marina sell key brands. This includes Anytec, Sealegs, Princess, Sunseeker, Axopar, Fairline, Marex and Botnia Targa. All of this attracts a constant stream of watercraft devotees.

Our extensive client base means we can locate a buyer for your boat with ease and speed.

The marina has one of the UK’s largest databases of maritime enthusiasts. This ensures Salterns Brokerage has access to a vast, up-to-date list of national and international clients to directly market your vessel. Couple this with high quality advertising in all the major marine magazines and websites and you soon realise that countless potential customers will see your boat quickly and directly.

We offer free valuations and market appraisals, full photoshoot of your boat, drone and video footage if desired and new for 2021 a video walk around of the boat with broker commentary.

As part of the successful Salterns Group we benefit from exclusive marina’s facilities and provide preferential berthing packages for all boats for sale. This means you can be confident your vessel is not only safe and secure but above all permanently on show to thousands of prospective purchasers.

As an independent brokerage we don’t need to meet a quota of ‘new boat’ sales. Our sole aim is to work on your behalf to find a purchaser for your vessel as promptly as possible. We have the flexibility to treat each customer individually and truly believe the personal approach is vital to our performance and delivery.
