Why owners choose HulloShips

The case for selling it yourself

💰 Keep the commission

A 10% broker fee on a $500K sportfisher is $50,000. On HulloShips that stays in your pocket.

🤝 You know your boat best

No one sells your vessel more honestly than the owner who ran her. Buyers value talking to the owner.

⚓ Built for the water

Length, beam, draft, year, builder, hull, engine hours, flag and survey status — native vessel fields, not house fields.

🚢 Boats and ships

Most sites stop at yachts. HulloShips also lists commercial vessels — cargo ships, fishing boats, tugs, ferries and workboats.

More than a marketplace

The HulloShips Atlas — 20 maritime databases

Behind the exchange sits the largest open maritime reference we know of: 20,000+ marinas, 22,000+ harbours, lighthouses, shipyards, tide stations, yacht builders, brokers, charter fleets, famous ships and the HulloValue estimator — all free.

Ready when you are

Your vessel, your price, your sale.

List free in minutes, or feature it for maximum exposure. Either way, no broker ever takes a cut from HulloShips.
