For Buyers
Buying Questions
How does consignment buying work?
You browse our inventory just like a dealership. The difference: our prices are often lower because sellers set competitive prices and we earn a broker fee — not a dealership markup. You get a better deal, the seller gets a fair price, everyone wins.
Can I finance a boat or RV through The Boat Broker?
Yes. We work with multiple lenders and offer competitive rates on approved credit. Use our online calculator to estimate payments, or apply for pre-approval right on our website. All credit types welcome.
Do you offer warranties on pre-owned units?
Pre-owned units are sold as-is, but we can connect you with extended warranty providers. New Barletta and Bentley boats come with full manufacturer warranties. We’ll always tell you what we know about a unit’s condition — no surprises after the sale.
Can I take a test ride or test drive?
Absolutely. We do lake tests on Lake Havasu for boats — call ahead so we can have the unit ready. For RVs, we offer supervised test drives from the lot. No pressure, no tricks. Try it before you buy it.
Do you negotiate on price?
All prices are posted online and reflect fair market value. Consignment units are priced by the seller. On dealer-owned inventory, there’s sometimes flexibility — ask us directly. We won’t play games. If there’s room to move, we’ll tell you.
How do I transfer a boat title in Arizona?
We handle title and registration paperwork as part of every sale. You don’t need to visit the DMV or ADOT yourself. We prepare the assignment of title, submit the paperwork, and coordinate registration. It’s included in the deal.
For Sellers
Selling Questions
How do I sell my boat, RV, or car through The Boat Broker?
Simple: bring your unit to us (or we can come to you for an evaluation), we agree on a guaranteed payout price upfront, and we handle all the marketing, showings, negotiations, and paperwork. When it sells, you get your guaranteed amount — no surprises, no deductions.
What does it cost to list with you?
We work on a spread model: you get your guaranteed payout, we sell for more, and the difference is our fee. No upfront costs, no listing fees, no hidden charges. You know exactly what you’re getting before we take the unit in.
How long does it take to sell?
It depends on the unit, price, and season. Most boats sell within 30–90 days during peak season (March–September). We market aggressively across our website, inventory syndication feeds, and social platforms. You’ll get updates along the way.
Do I get paid right away when it sells?
Yes. Sellers get paid when the deal closes — same day. No waiting periods, no wire transfer delays, no runaround. Forty years of on-time payment have built a reputation no ad can buy.
Do you accept trade-ins?
Yes. We can apply trade-in value toward a purchase, or take your unit in on consignment separately. Get a free valuation online to start the process. No obligation.

Are you a dealership or a brokerage?
We are a licensed brokerage. Most units are consigned from private sellers — meaning we handle everything while the seller retains ownership until the deal closes. We are also an authorized dealer for Barletta Boats, Bentley Pontoons, and Mercury Marine.
Do you ship boats out of state?
We don’t ship directly, but we can connect you with transport brokers who specialize in boat and RV delivery. Many of our buyers are from Phoenix, Las Vegas, Southern California, and beyond — transport is very common. We’ll help coordinate if needed.
Do you have a service department?
We offer basic pre-delivery inspection and reconditioning. For full-service marine and RV repair, we work with trusted local shops in Lake Havasu City and can refer you to the right one for your unit’s make and model.
