About Global Boat Auctions
Our Mission
At Global Boat Auctions, we’re redefining how the world buys and sells boats. Our mission is simple — to make yacht ownership accessible, transparent, and secure for everyone. Whether you’re upgrading your cruiser, buying your first sailboat, or managing a fleet, we connect you with verified sellers and real-time global auctions that you can trust.
WHO WE ARE
Founded by a team of marine industry professionals, brokers, and technologists, we created Global Boat Auctions to solve a long-standing problem: to overcome the longer sale process for boats and connect willing buyers and willing sellers on a time efficient platform.
Backed by one of the largest auction companies in Europe, with over 3,200 auctions annually and a hammer total in excess of £600 million, Global Boat Auctions brings the entire process online – from listings and inspections to bidding and escrow – with the same security standards used by leading financial institutions.
