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 connects you with reputable dealers in your area, so you can be confident with a worry-free and safe transaction.
Boat Trader’s Driveway Direct program is the safest and fastest way to get an offer on your boat online from a reputable dealer. Dealers from our trusted network will contact you directly and extend an offer. Once you accept an offer, the dealer will conduct the inspection and cut you a check if the boat meets their requirements.
Dealers participating in the Driveway Direct program offer 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, dealers use Boat Trader’s industry-leading sold boat data and active listings data and pair it with existing third-party data to ensure a fair deal.
Yes! While dealers won’t show up at your door with a suitcase full of cash, they will wire the money directly to your account(s).
Yes, they do. At closing, your loan will be paid off and any additional equity amount of the boat will be wired to your personal account.
Yes, until the closing is complete, you should continue to pay your loan payments.
Currently, Boat Trader’s Driveway Direct program serves the continental United States.
While boats with trailers are preferred, our dealers will consider boats without trailers.
To expedite the process, please have your boat’s title, registration, and any other paperwork related to your boat ready to go.
Not all boats are eligible for Driveway Direct’s fast cash offer. The Offer may be less than published trade-in values or range. Boat Trader does not redeem Offers, purchase boats or own/operate Participating Dealers. Dealer inspection required. If the info you provide about the boat differs from the dealer inspection, the Offer amount may be decreased. Boat Trader and its affiliates are not responsible for Offer adjustments or if a Participating Dealer won’t accept your vehicle. Dealers pay a fee to participate in the Driveway Direct Fast Cash Offer program.
