Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use the Boat Trader Driveway Direct service to sell my boat?

While there are many companies that buy boats, Boat Trader is the most trusted boating marketplace in the U.S. When selling your boat, you want to be sure that you are dealing with a reputable buyer. Our Driveway Direct program ensures a worry-free and safe transaction with Boat Trader’s trusted and knowledgeable team of professionals.

What is Boat Trader’s Driveway Direct program?

Boat Trader’s Driveway Direct program is the easiest & fastest way to sell your boat online. Our team will extend an offer, quickly inspect your boat, and cut you a check if your boat is eligible for the program!

How do I know that I am receiving a fair price for my boat?

Driveway Direct offers a fair wholesale price for your boat. While this price may be less than selling it directly to a consumer, it’s far safer, faster, and more convenient. To price your boat, we use Boat Trader’s industry leading sold boat and active listings data and pair it with existing third-party data to ensure a fair deal.

Will Boat Trader pay for my boat with cash?

Yes! While we won’t show up at your door with a suitcase full of cash, we will wire the money directly to your account(s).

Does Boat Trader provide cash offers to boats with a lien/loan?

Yes, we do. At closing, we’ll pay off your loan and wire the additional equity amount of the boat to your personal account.

Should I continue to make payments on my loan once I begin the process of selling my boat through Driveway Direct?

Yes, until the closing is complete, you should continue to pay your loan payments. Once we begin the process, Driveway Direct will close on your boat as quickly as possible.

Which locations does Driveway Direct serve?

Currently, Boat Trader’s Driveway Direct program serves the continental United States.

Do I need a trailer to sell my boat through Driveway Direct?

While boats with trailers are preferred, we do consider boats without trailers.

What should I have prepared before selling my boat to Boat Trader?

To expedite the process, please have your boat’s title, registration, and any other paperwork related to your boat ready to go.

Does Boat Trader handle the paperwork for the sale?

Yes. The Driveway Direct program provides you with a dedicated agent who, at no extra cost, will guide you through the closing process and provide the appropriate closing documents for a seamless deal.
