Yacht Broker Services

If you`re looking to sell your sailing boat then look no further. Here at Ashton Marine Services we provide a focused professional Yacht brokerage service that`s pro-active whilst delivering great value for money:

We have a comprehensive database of buyers, boat owners, and other contacts that we can send your boat details to.

We will manage your sale by accessing forums as well as advertise your boat in all leading websites

We have a strong presence in the boating sector, regularly meeting people who are looking to trade up/ trade down as we are boat users ourselves.

We are great believers in researching the market so we can establish the best price for your yacht and are able to highlight any differences from the other boats being advertised.

Why Ashton Marine Services

Boating is in our DNA. Everyone in Ashton Marine Services is a keen boater and still go out on sailing boats, ribs, cruisers etc on a regular basis.

Over 20 years of proven successful marketing and sales experience and have promoted and sold numerous boats and marine products.

We don’t just place adverts. We will actively send your boat details to relevant people and monitor forums for people looking for a Yacht that matches your specifications.

We do our research. This is key to establishing the boats value based on its condition and what other similar boats are being advertised for.

We can be contacted 7 days a week from 8 am to 8 pm as we feel there is nothing worse than a buyer not being able to speak to someone about the boat they are interested in. This also includes you as the seller as we feel this is a key part of our job and will try and help in any way we can.

For more information please call Ashton Marine Services on 07595 638185 or send us your details via our contact page

Additional Information

Presenting your boat

As there are lots of different buyers for boats the first decision to make is how much time and money ( if any) is required to get the boat ready to achieve the optimum price ie a good valet is cheap and does not cost much to do and hence is often worth doing.  However if for example the engine is in poor working order it might be better to sell it as is as often the cost of fixing it costs more than you will receive by making the repairs.  This is where Ashton Marine Services will help and advise you on the best way forward and is included as part of our service.

Pictures and Videos

Pictures say a thousand words and hence good images of your boat are vital. The pictures should also not just be of the boat but also where possible images of the boat being used so that buyers can see it in action.

Videos are also becoming increasingly common and the quality does not need to be amazing (most smart phone video mode is more than adequate)  as a video gives a far better perspective of size and internal space.

Pictures and videos should also include any key extra’s ie an image of a tender, navigation equipment and any upgrades you have done.

Equipment list

Sailing equipment that comes with the boat should also be listed but please only add these if they are not needed any more. Include navigation and safety equipment and any extras you want included in the sale.

Paperwork and Receipts

Sadly not all sellers are genuine and one of the ways to show what work has actually been done is to provide receipts for any money you have spent on the boat with the most recent purchase/ work being the most relevant.

The next step

If you are thinking of selling your sailing boat and would like a proactive yacht broker service or a quote please call Ashton Marine Services on 07595 638185 from 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week or click here to send us an enquiry through the website

Dave from Ashton Marine Services could not have been more helpful. We needed our Club rib brining from Largs to Carlisle and Dave offered to do this for us. Having read the reviews I knew we could trust him to do an top job and he did. Communication was excellent and he was always available to chat to when we were arranging . The price was best offer we got but we chose him because of the good reviews and I d often seen his name on social media so knew we could trust our precious club rib to him. It was delivered safely and exactly to timetable. Highly recommend and would definitely use his top service again. Many thanks for your assistance with our club boat Dave

Bargin!Dave could not have been more helpful, especially with all the Covid Restrictions in place and he somehow got the Trailer to me before Christmas. Dave thank you and well done, your business is a god send to Boaters.

If your needing a new boat trailer, go nowhere else. I needed a trailer, quickly. Seen Ashton Marine Services, were local to me, so gave them a call. Dave was brilliant! He pointed me to a suitable trailer and better still, had a couple in stock. Enquired on the Wednesday, confirmed order, Wednesday afternoon, delivered on Thursday and payment deferred until I was off work on Friday.What a fantastic service. Thanks Dave & Neil.

Dave is a knowledgeable friendly fellow. I purchased a Snipe trailer for my SIB from Ashton Marine. Dave supplied me with a great bit of kit at a decent price; although I live in the Highlands and its a bit of a drive I will use Ashton Marine again for sourcing trailers and ribs etc. With the current Covid situation effecting supply chains it arrived a bit late but this was out of his control. He then hung onto it for me until it was convenient for me to pick it up. Many thanks, Simon

100 reviews, well done SirI met Dave today after conversing via email regarding a trailer for my boat.Very knowledgeable chap and learned a few new things re recovery of boats onto trailers. I was popping in for a quick look at a trailer and stayed an hour, could have stayed all day and chatted. Have placed an order for a new trailer and have no doubt it will live up to expectations. Although I haven't taken possession of the trailer I would recommend Dave to anyone looking to buy. Its a pity guys like Dave are in the minority but I'm glad to have met him.Cheers Dave and thanks for one of the easiest decisions I have made for a while.

Look no further! Dave Ashton is a legend! I originally contacted Ashton Marine about my new trailer but Dave went beyond the extra mile for me. He put me in touch with all of the best people. So much so he has an open invitation to drive my Albatross Corsair whenever he can find the time. Dave knows his trade as well as anyone & everyone he works with is top tier too. He helped me with haulage during lockdown, personally delivered my trailer & gives advice freely. Dave will do whatever it takes to get the job done. Whatever aspect of Dave's business you need help with he will ease your peace of mind & you cannot put a price on that!

Buying a trailer from Ashton Marine Services was cheaper for myself to get a return ticket by ferry and collect it myself than buying it directly in N.

Dave has gone above and beyond in supplying a new trailer for our Shetland Saxon. He has provided sage advice over a number of months about which trailer will suit, and even taken time advising how best to move the boat. At trailer handover he will do a full run down on the trailer so we can make the most of it, and he is even delivering it for us. I can't recommend Ashton Marine Services enough, for quality service and advice, and great prices. I'd even go as far as saying they are the best trailer supplier in.. I would say universe but it's more than that. The universe is already far too big for the human brain to comprehend, and ever expanding, so I will settle for saying that Ashton Marine are a uncomprehendingly excellent in a logarithmically expanding manner, trailer supplier.

It's hard to rate this company highly enough. Dave is very helpful and willing to spend time sharing his wide knowledge so I know I've got the trailer most suited to my needs. When I ordered the trailer I was going to pick it up from their base but Dave was delivering some other parts to a place near(ish!) me so dropped off my trailer too. Just good to see suppliers thinking and proactively helping the customers. Genuinely enthusiastic about all things marine. The prices are good too. Highly recommended.

Excellent service in every way. I was buying a trailer for our local Coastal Rowing club and was guided to get the trailer that suited our needs rather than the one we were planning to buy. This saved our club a lot of money. At the same time, Dave located and negotiated the purchase, testing and delivery of a boat for me personally. As a newbie to the boating world he carefully checked out my requirements and recommended a couple of makes and models that I should look out for. He then sourced a couple of these through his network of contacts and found one for me which was ideally suited to all my requirements and within my budget. He took the time to demonstrate the boat, its features and strengths and willingly shared his extensive knowledge of boating and boats on the Scottish West Coast. Dave is enthusiastic and loves his boats, trailers and all things boating and goes the extra mile for his clients. He shares his knowledge and enthusiasm freely. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Excellent service throughout with great advice offered from the start to delivery of a fantastic trailer at the end..Would highly recommend Dave for anyone looking for a boat trailer from a trustworthy, no nonsense kind of seller, he is a man of his word in a world where I think there’s plenty who are the complete opposite...Thanks Dave, it was a pleasure doing business with you & if I need any advice, assistance or a Shiny new Trailer in the future i’ll be sure to come to you first..

Absolutely amazing service. Dave answered all my naive questions, steered me towards the best RIBs in terms of quality & performance, saved me lots of time & money chasing boats that ultimately would have disappointed, & ultimately found exactly the right RIB for me.In doing so he flushed out a whole host of problems with the first shortlisted boat (which was definitely not in the condition advertised), found me a superb RIB (which exceeded all my expectations), negotiated a very good price, & facilitated modifications to meet my specific seating requirements etc.Finally he shared his time with me on the water, showing me exactly how to use my new toy! What a great time! What a friend! What fantastic value for money! Cannot recommend Ashton Marine Services highly enough!

Contacted Dave for help with my RIB that was left in the Outer Hebrides with engine troubles. He was on the job very quickly with a solution and had the RIB back on the mainland and being attended to in no time. First class service.

Purchased a SIB trailer from Ashton Marine Services and Dave was spot on throughout the process. He looked at the options and through his contacts and specialist knowledge he delivered exactly what I required. Great communication and customer service. Trailer supplied is of the highest spec and all for a unbeatable price. Wouldn’t hesitate at recommending Ashton Marine Services to anyone out there and would definitely do buisiness again. If your looking for a boat trailer, speak to Dave and you won’t be disappointed!

Can’t recommend Ashton Marie enough. Myself and my husband bought a trailer last month from Dave but as we are new to boating we didn’t really know what we needed. Dave sold us a trailer that we needed rather than the most expensive one.

Outstanding service. Dave was attentive, well-informed, kept me posted, and found me a buyer in no time at all. He really pushed the boat out (!) to provide a first class service. Fully recommend Ashton Marine Services as a boat broker and trailer seller. One very happy customer!

Dave delivered, exactly as he promised he would. Dave trades on his determination to 'go the extra mile' and help customers and potential customers. I had a trailer axle failure 2 weeks prior to taking my kids west for a holiday boating around the Inner Hebrides. I could not get the axle replaced in time, and no other supplier could supply me with a trailer in time, but Dave offered to rent e an ex-demo appropriate for my needs, or just sell it, which is what I did.Having driven to Glasgow to meet him, he was friendly, knowledgeable and best of all, enthusiastic in his help, and advised me on setting the trailer up and transferring my boat off the old trailer and onto the new one. He was also well connected with affiliated businesses and in consequence, I have made some great contacts for issues with engine servicing and even mooring options on the West Coast.If Dave can retain his natural warm approach as he grows his business, he is guaranteed to clean up in the small craft and trailer market.

Well I certainly challenged Dave this time around; unbeknown too Dave and I, as my RIB setup was heavier than expected. Working together Dave was a real pleasure; in putting the correct trailer package together in a timely manor. Dave's passion, experience and wide knowledge of the whole industry is very evident. I would certainly recommend you contacting Dave @ Ashton Marine Services for any of your boating requirements 👍🏿 👍🏿 👍🏿 👍🏿 👍🏿

Dave provided a first class service moving my boat from Loch Lomond to Torquay. Pulled out all the stops to work to my challenging timescales and despite a drive through the night spent several hours giving me instruction on how to us my new boat, invaluable to a novice like me. All this at a price that was great value for money. I would thoroughly recommend Ashton Marine Services and their 5 star service

I have just purchased a Bramber rollerglide trailer for my Falmouth Bass Boat from Ashton Marine Services. Throughout the process from ordering to finally transferring my boat from the old trailer to the new, I have received friendly and informative advice and assistance from Dave. His willingness to help transfer the boat and ensure the trailer fitted correctly was much appreciated. I would certainly do business with Ashton Marine Services again and would recommend them to anyone else thinking of buying a boat trailer.

Was in the market for a trailer for my boat but did not know how to go about getting the right trailer for my boat. I contacted Dave which was the best thing I could have done, he advised on what to get and even had it set up to suit my boat. The trailer arrived on time and Dave contacted me to arrange pick up, the full transaction was completed without any issues.I also asked about getting boat moved from one location to another and Dave offered to tow the boat on the new trailer to my preferred destination and charged a reasonable price.If anyone needs this kind of service, You should contact Dave, nothing is an issue, he is very helpful and knowledgeable on boating and trailer services.All I have to say now is a big “Thankyou “ for a job well done.

Well what can I say, they promised and they delivered ! Communication from Dave was fantastic and kept me informed about all stages of my boat sale.If you are ever wanting to sell your boat without the hassle of the usual 100 questions and tyre kickers, then hand it over to Ashton , a quality outfit . More so that when I go to buy my next boat I’ll be going straight to Dave first.100% recommended 👍🏿

I run a small marine services company on the Isle of Bute and have found Ashton marine services to be a 1st class company to deal with. Dave has excellent knowledge with regards to trailers and has easily saved me a couple of K through this alone. I fully recommend this company and hope you are as happy with the service as I am.

We have recently starting buying Bramber and Snipe RIB trailers from Ashton Marine. Excellent service from the point of order through to delivery at our workshop, on top of this Dave knows his stuff when it comes to RIBs. If you are needing a replacement trailer or other marine related services start with AMS.
