Sell with Vinings

What makes Vining Shipbrokers different from all the rest? Why should you list your boat with us? We invite you to think about the following:

Our Locations:

Vining Shipbrokers are located on the two busiest Marinas in the South Island (Waikawa Marina in Picton and the Nelson Marina in Nelson) and together with Mike Coupe in Wellington we provide strong coverage in and around central New Zealand. Our Brokerage contacts around New Zealand and Overseas see your Listing well presented to a wide market.

Our team of full time professional Boat Brokers spares no effort nor wastes any opportunity to present your vessel to an interested buyer that contacts us.

Internet Advertising:

Many buyers will see your boat for sale for the first time on a web site; here at Vining Shipbrokers we regard the internet as our most valuable marketing tool.

Vining Shipbrokers are the only Brokerage Company in New Zealand to have all their boats for sale listed on the following sites: New Zealand wide on  Trademe, Tradeaboat and Autobase , Worldwide on  Yachtworld, and of course here on vinings.co.nz. This site is the only site featuring boats for sale in New Zealand where you can check out a vessel by looking at good quality pictures and then view the vessels details in full, printing them off for future reference if required.

We do not charge for any form of internet advertising - we meet the costs ourselves!

Magazine Advertising:

Vining Shipbrokers have two pages in every issue of Boating New Zealand and the Tradeaboat Magazine (three in Tradeaboat from the August issue).

We do not charge for placing ads in our normal advertising in these publications! If you wish to place large advertisements either half or full page we will arrange the ad for you and you will only be charged what the publications charge us - no hidden costs and no company mark ups!

We can place advertising in other magazines for you at cost - no hidden charges, no company mark ups! We produce a full set of Colour Photos and Specs to handout or email to buyers at our expense not yours!

Sales Berths and Moorings:

Check out our great location on the Waikawa Marina in Picton where we have seventeen sales berths in prime locations around the Marina. Our use of sign boards and flags draws buyers to have a look while they wander the marina in search of their "dream boat".

The daily rate for the use of our Sales Berth is exactly what Port Marlborough charge us - no hidden costs, no company markups!

Out in Waikawa Bay we have 10 moorings available for those who may choose not to berth in the Marina, these are charged at a very realistic rate and we normally have a spare one or two to help out our Vendors. We hope to establish a Sales Berth(s) in the Nelson Marina in the near future.

Our Boat Brokers:

Our team of full time Professional Boat Brokers are dedicated boaties themselves (without exception!) and have been around Yachts and Launches for many years. In addition to discussing with you a fair market price, helping you to prepare the listing details and marketing your vessel they will keep you well informed of progress and inquiries and negotiate on your behalf when an offer comes in. They will be aboard for any Sea Trial and make arrangements for the various marine related tradespeople that become involved to inspect your vessel after the buyer selects a Surveyor.

Our Boat Brokers do their best to ensure that the sale goes smoothly for the Vendor and all concerned.

Sole Agency:

At Vining Shipbrokers we believe that Sole Agency Listings should get special treatment so we ensure that they do!

Special Treatment includes:

• Priority Placement in our Office Displays
• Priority Placements on the internet
• Priority Placement in Boating Magazines
• Priority Berthage on our Sales Berths
