The United States has the largest secondary market for boats. Even though it would cost money to ship a boat across the world, the benefit of the purchase is still noticeable.
Why is it cheaper in the U.S.?
Same with cars, boats in the U.S. are for sale by insurance companies, rarely private people. Everyone is interested in a quick sale, competition is huge, so prices are reduced more than 2-3 times. Almost all boats with light traces of use, damage, and minimal repair is required.
How to buy a boat and deliver it from the United States?
To order and buy a boat at an American auction, you have to understand how it works, and what it takes. It’s impossible to purchase a boat at the auction without being in United Stated and having a representative in the United States.
The best offers are published on Insurance Auto Auction (IAAI), Manheim, and Copart. It’s a closed auction in four states:
- Colorado;
- Alabama;
- Michigan;
- Ohio.
Only residents or agents with representation in the United States may participate. In order not to miss the best offers and buy a boat at a really low price, we recommend choosing the option with closed tender in the above states. We’ll be happy to represent your interests in any of them.
