The Modern Way to Buy and Sell Premium Canal Boats
Sell Your Boat, Keep Your Equity: The CDIM Consultancy
Selling a narrowboat or widebeam usually means handing over a massive 6% (+ VAT), minimum, of your hard-earned equity to a marina broker. And what do you get in return? Often, it's just a few dark smartphone photos and a listing in a window.
We think your floating home deserves better. And we know your wallet does, too.
CDIM Marine was built to be the modern alternative to outdated marina brokerages. We operate as your private, high-end digital marketing team. Instead of taking a massive percentage of your final sale price, we work on a completely transparent, single flat-fee basis. No hidden costs, no commission cuts, and strictly zero upfront risk.
Why Our Approach Gets Premium Results:
- Cinematic 4K Media: We don't do blurry photos. We use our commercial drone fleet to capture stunning aerial flyovers (including vital roof and solar inspections) and shoot stabilised, bright interior video tours. We present your boat like a luxury apartment to attract serious, high-budget buyers.
- The "Marina Loophole": Worried about your current mooring contract tying you to an in-house broker? We help you navigate the system. By hiring us as your marketing consultants, you can legally sell your boat on its current mooring as a private sale, bypassing the marina's heavy brokerage monopoly and only paying their small access fee.
- Complete Buyer Shielding: We don't just take the media and leave. We write the SEO-optimised ad copy, launch it across the digital network, and field every single inquiry to aggressively filter out the time-wasters and lowballers.
- Hands-Off Viewings: When we find a vetted, serious buyer, we can even conduct the physical viewings on your behalf. You stay completely hands-off until it is time to sign the paperwork and receive the funds directly into your bank account.
- The Bottom Line: You get a much faster sale, a vastly superior marketing package, and you get to keep thousands of pounds more of your own money.
