How it works
Every auction runs seven days, in public, with real reserves and real bid history. Your winning bid is the purchase price. No Ballast buyer premium is added. Applicable taxes, registration, transport and other third-party costs are additional.
01 — List free
Submit your boat's specs, photos, and history. Our team reviews every listing before it goes live. Ballast earns nothing unless your boat sells.
02 — Seven days, public bidding
Real bids, real questions, real answers. Reserves are private; bid increments and a two-minute anti-sniping extension keep it fair.
03 — Pay only when it sells
The winning bidder's deposit — 5% of the winning bid, subject to any agreed minimum or cap — is Ballast's success fee. Sellers net the rest, directly from the buyer — Ballast never holds the balance or the boat.
