Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know — straight answers, no runaround.
Where is the best place to buy a boat in Lake Havasu City?
The Boat Broker has been Lake Havasu City's boat dealer and brokerage since 1986, with three permanent locations and hundreds of boats, RVs, and vehicles listed online at any time, with more arriving regularly. We're an authorized dealer for Barletta Boats, Bentley Pontoons, Mercury Marine, and Volvo Penta, and we also carry hundreds of pre-owned boats from other brands. Browse current boat inventory — every boat shows a real price, no "call for pricing."
How does pricing work when buying a boat at The Boat Broker?
We use transparent spread-based pricing. The price you see on a listing is the price you pay — our commission (the spread) is already built into it, with no hidden dealer-prep fees or last-minute add-ons. On consigned boats, we agree on a fair market value with the seller and add our spread on top. This is the same model that has kept us trusted in Lake Havasu since 1986.
What boat brands does The Boat Broker sell new?
We are an authorized new-boat dealer for Barletta Boats, Bentley Pontoons, Mercury Marine outboards, and Volvo Penta. New boats come with full factory warranties and we handle warranty service in-house. We also carry a large rotating selection of quality pre-owned boats. See what's in stock now.
Can I get financing on a boat in Lake Havasu City?
Yes. We work with multiple marine lenders, and financing options are available for every credit situation, subject to lender approval. Apply online to get started. Our team handles the paperwork, title, and registration so you can get on the water faster. See how financing works.
Can I trade in my current boat toward a new one?
Absolutely. We accept trade-ins on boats, RVs, classic cars, jet skis, and other powersports. Get a free online value estimate in under a minute, or bring it to our main showroom at 1680 Industrial Blvd for a precise in-person appraisal. Your trade value applies directly toward your purchase.
What is the best type of boat for Lake Havasu?
It depends on how you'll use the lake. Pontoons (Barletta and Bentley) are the most popular choice for families who want comfortable cruising, swimming, and entertaining. Performance and deck boats suit watersports and faster runs on the Colorado River channel. If you're not sure, take our boat-fit quiz and we'll match you to boats in our current inventory that fit how you actually plan to use the water.
How do I sell or consign my boat in Lake Havasu City?
We sell your boat on consignment with no upfront fees — you pay nothing until it sells. We agree on a fair market value with you, price it right for the Havasu market, and market it across our website, marketplace, and channels. We handle every showing, negotiation, and the title transfer. Most boats priced to market sell within about 90 days. Start a free consignment valuation.
Do I need to live in Arizona to buy a boat from The Boat Broker?
No. We regularly sell to buyers across Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado, and we handle out-of-state title and registration paperwork. Many of our buyers come from Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Southern California, since Lake Havasu is a destination lake for the whole Southwest. We can arrange transport through third-party carriers, and local Havasu delivery is often available — just ask.
How long does it take to buy a boat at The Boat Broker?
Once financing and paperwork are in order, most deals come together quickly. The steps are simple: browse online or visit a showroom, schedule a showing or on-water demo, arrange your financing, and we handle the paperwork, title, and registration.
Is buying a used boat in Lake Havasu a good idea?
It can be a great value when the boat is inspected and priced honestly. Every unit we list gets a professional safety inspection before delivery, and the price reflects real Havasu-market value. Used pontoons and performance boats hold value well in this market because demand here is year-round. Browse pre-owned boats — each listing shows real specs, photos, and the actual price.
