Look For Pre-Owned Boats for Sale at classified Ads Sites. 

Looking for pre-owned boats and boats for sale by owner in Singapore can be a bit of a challenge, but there are several online classified ads sites you can use to find the right boat for you. Here are some steps to help you get started:

1. Determine what type of boat you're looking for, as well as your budget. This will help you narrow down your search and find the most suitable options.

2. Visit online classified ads sites like Boat Guru Marketplace, Carousell, Gumtree, and STClassifieds. These sites typically have a dedicated section for boats, where you can find pre-owned boats and boats for sale by owner.

3. Use the search function on the site to look for boats for sale that match your preferences. You can filter your search by price, boat type, location, and other criteria.

4. Look at the photos and descriptions provided by the boat seller. Make sure the boat for sale meets your requirements and ask the seller any questions you have.

5. Arrange a meeting with the seller to inspect the boat and take it for a test drive. It's essential to ensure that the boat is in good condition before you make a purchase.

6. If you're satisfied with the boat, negotiate the price with the seller and arrange for payment and transfer of ownership.

Remember to be cautious when making online transactions and always prioritize your safety. Check the seller's reputation and ratings on the classified ads site, and avoid sharing your personal information or making payments before you've inspected the boat.

Want to know the prices boats have been sold for in Singapore?

The boat price market is non-transparent.  This means that unless you have insider information or knowledge, then it is almost impossible to know the prices that boats have sold for. 

While we can’t give you the exact figures, we can share with you the “completed boat sales” pages in our Boat Guru Marketplace for boats for sale in Singapore.  Simply click on “Completed” listings to see the last asking price.

Additionally, to find the prices of boats that have been sold in Singapore, you can use other online resources such as boat sales websites, and classified ads sites. Here are some steps to help you get started:

1. Visit boat sales websites like Boat Guru Marketplace, Boat Trader or YachtWorld that have listings of boats for sale in Singapore.

2. Look for boats that are similar to the one you are interested in buying. You can use the search function on the site to filter your results based on boat type, brand, model, year, and other criteria.

3. Once you have found a boat that is similar to the one you're interested in, check the listing to see if it shows the price the boat was sold for. Some boat sales websites provide this information in the listing, while others do not.

4. If the price is not listed in the ad, you can contact the seller to ask what price the boat was sold for. Some sellers may be willing to share this information with you.

5. Alternatively, you can search for sold listings on online classified ads sites like Carousell, Gumtree, and STClassifieds. These sites typically allow you to filter your search results by "sold" or "completed" listings, which may show you the prices of boats that have already been sold.

Remember to consider the condition, age, and features of the boat when comparing prices. It's also a good idea to consult with a marine surveyor or boat expert to help you determine the value of the boat you are interested in.

At BASCO we provide a Professional Boat Buying Critique service for the boats you have on your shortlist and are considering buying.

Houseboats for sale in Singapore

Living on a houseboat or a liveaboard in Singapore has to be one of the best privileges, ever, of living in Singapore.   OMGosh we loved it so much.  We bought Sea Kiwi in 2013, it was our first boat,  and we ultimately lived aboard for many years.

Read the blog here “Why I Bought a Boat in Singapore Even When I Couldn’t Afford it”  

 Living aboard a houseboat in Singapore offers a unique and alternative lifestyle option for those seeking a waterfront lifestyle. Houseboats like this 2014 Bondway 80' are typically designed as floating homes, with all the amenities of a traditional home, but with the added benefits of living on the water.

Singapore is home to several marinas and waterways where houseboats can be moored, including the Marina at Keppel Bay and Sentosa Cove. Living aboard a houseboat in Singapore offers residents the chance to enjoy waterfront living, with stunning views of the city skyline and easy access to water-based activities such as fishing, swimming, and kayaking.

Houseboats in Singapore are available in a range of sizes and styles, from compact, minimalist designs to spacious, luxury models. Many houseboats feature modern amenities such as air conditioning, full kitchens, and even rooftop decks for entertaining guests.

Living aboard a houseboat in Singapore can also offer a more affordable housing option compared to traditional homes, with lower upfront costs and lower ongoing expenses such as utility bills. However, it is important to note that houseboats require regular maintenance and upkeep, as they are constantly exposed to the elements of the water.

Overall, living aboard a houseboat in Singapore can offer a unique and enjoyable lifestyle for those seeking a waterfront living experience. With a range of options available, there is sure to be a houseboat that meets the needs and preferences of any prospective resident.

Fishing Boats for Sale By Owner

Boats for Sale by Owner in Singapore

Some boat buyers like to seek out boats for sale by the owner in Singapore.  It is natural to think that you may be able to get the boat at a lower price if there isn’t a broker in there charging their industry standard 10% commission (BASCO is disrupting this model selling boats 33% faster at half the cost, ask us how).  

While this direct approach can well be good news for the buyer, sometimes the benefits of a boat broker’s services are mostly enjoyed by the seller who is able to dispense with all the time consuming enquiries, listing tasks, marketing and viewings that the boat broker will typically do.

But, finding a boat for sale by owner has its advantages especially for lower value boats.  You can find these boats in the Boats for sale by the owner section of Boat Guru Marketplace.

Catamarans & Trimarans for sale in Singapore

Catamarans are perhaps the most well-known type of multihull boat. They are characterized by having two hulls that are parallel to each other. This design provides increased stability and allows for a more spacious deck area.

Catamarans also typically have shallower drafts, which allows them to navigate into more shallow waters. They are an excellent choice for those looking to explore coastal regions and island hopping.

Trimarans, on the other hand, have three hulls, with the two outer hulls being smaller than the central hull. This design provides increased stability and allows for a smoother ride, making them popular among racing enthusiasts. Trimarans also typically have more living accommodations than similarly sized catamarans, making them an excellent choice for those looking to spend extended periods on the water.

In terms of speed, trimarans are generally faster than catamarans due to their narrower hulls, which produce less drag. However, catamarans are typically easier to handle due to their wider beam and reduced heel.

Regardless of whether you choose a catamaran or trimaran, both types of multihull boats offer an exciting and unique sailing experience. Singapore offers a range of options to suit every need and budget, from small day-sailers to luxurious liveaboard vessels.

Boat Finance in Singapore

Boat finance in Asia is more limited than in larger and more mature boating markets like the USA or Australia where boat finance packages are easier to come by and boat dealers make extra profits on the sale of new and used boats that include finance packages.

With around 14 million boats in the US compared with an estimated 80,000 boats in Asia, there are simply not many lenders in such a small and niche boat market in Asia.

There are boat finance options in Singapore, including BASCO Boat Finance but unless your boat is younger than 10 years old at the end of the loan period, or the loan amount is more than 500k you may find it easier and cheaper to extend your home or equity loan with your bank.
