BROAD KNOWLEDGE

Workboats relies on its vast industry knowledge to assess any vessel,
regardless of size, and determine the best sales and marketing strategy.
Whether by tender, auction or private treaty, the highest possible sales
are achieved through Workboats marketing and negotiation expertise.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICE

Our dedicated team of professionals will guide you through the sales process.
They will assess the vessel and provide some options for how the vessel is sold
along with a proposed marketing strategy.

METHODS OF SALE

There are several options for selling a commercial vessel.

1. Private treaty. This is the most conventional way to sell a boat. The vessel
is advertised with a set price or for "offers". Workboats will use its specialised
marketing strategies to reach the largest pool of potential buyers and then
facilitate the negotiations between yourself and any prospective purchasers.

2. Tender. The advantage of the tender system is that it is time specific and
all prospective purchasers are required to complete any inspections prior to
the close of tenders. The seller is not obliged to accept any tender and can
negotiate with any or all of the parties once tenders have closed.

3. Auction. The auction process has all the advantages of the tender process
but also brings potential purchasers together to generate competition. This is
especially useful when there is a big demand for a particular vessel.
