www.workboatsales.com was founded in March 2010 by Martin Antrobus after many years constructing and selling commercial workboats with builders in the UK & Spain.
The website is aimed at vessel owners, builders, brokers & operators in the commercial marine markets looking to buy, sell, or charter workboats worldwide.
We are based near London and usually operate between 07.00 to 19.00 GMT 5 days per week. E mails are monitored and if you have any urgent request we will respond out of hours. .
All vessels are offered at the owners asking price and we do not mark up or add anything to the asking price. We simply charge sellers for our service. Our fee has been the same for 10 years.
Sales & charters are arranged on a no sale no fee basis which means you have nothing to lose by advertising your vessel with us. We are sure you will find our fees the lowest amongst other professional brokers, without compromising the quality of our service.
If you have a purchase enquiry then the more information you can give us the better. Normally we can offer a selection of vessel ideas, some of which are not openly marketed but we have on our vessels privately for sale books.
To offer a vessel for sale or charter we generally need a minimum of 4 pictures and a specification.
We receive very many enquiries for all the vessels we offer and majority of questions are similar. The more information we can hold, means we can develop the buyers interest to a higher level before the inspection visit.
Website visitors can search for vessels using the “Vessel listings” page. It is possible to search under any key word, location, price or characteristics you prefer.
If a vessel is of interest you can contact us by clicking the info@workboatsales.com e mail tab or by using the submit your purchase enquiry form. We will reply within 24 hours but usually reply inside 4 hours. Please note the WBS reference number and we will forward many more pictures, drawings, and specifications that we hold. We simply cannot list all the details on the website.
Banner advertising is available to industry colleagues for a small monthly fee.
Sponsorship of our regular database mailings is also available for a small fee.
This site is supported by a presence at many UK and international trade shows. We try to limit visiting vessels to take pictures or accompany clients to vessel inspections. This is simply because it is not possible to attend all of them. This is why we charge a little less than other brokers and keeps our costs to a minimum.
