    *****SCAM WARNING*****
    

The most common scam is where the seller tells you they will deliver the boat and that your "money is covered by insurance" (there are fake boat dealers out there too).

    Always talk to the seller on the phone, If the phone number on the listing doesn’t work or they never pick up then this is another sign it’s a scam.

    If the price seems too good to be true then this is usually a scamAnd finally, never ever buy a boat without viewing it or getting someone you know to view it.

    If you think the listing may be a scam please forward us the link using our contact form: https://www.boatsforsale.co.uk/contact-us.html
