What can an independent berth broker do for me?

If you are a boater who is looking for a marina berth, using an independent broker can be invaluable to the process. But why should you engage their services rather than going it alone?

Are you a boat owner looking for a berth to buy or sublet/rent a marina berth?

• Firstly, a berth broker’s independent advice won’t cost you a penny. However, it will be invaluable during your search. If you are looking for a yacht berth to rent annually, the prices quoted by Triangle will be the same as going to the marina directly.

• Your berth broker will have up to date, current listings of berths that are for sale, rent or sublet.

• If none of the marina berths listed fit your needs, get in touch. They will search and offer you options. If nothing is suitable, they will keep your details on file so that they have your details to hand when a suitable marina berth becomes available.

• If you are looking for an annual berth to rent. Your independent berth broker may have a sublet available at the same marina. Not a lot of people are aware that some marina berths are owned by individuals and not the marina group.

• By subletting one of these marina berths you are usually able to save VAT (in the UK) vs the cost of renting the berth directly from the marina.

• You will be saving yourself time and avoid having to hear lots of sales pitches. A good independent berth broker will ask you questions to determine what kind of boater you are, and what you are looking for in a marina. They can then offer you options. Once you have decided on a marina, your berth broker will work with your chosen marina to complete any paperwork. You will usually pay the marina directly for the berth. It will be the same price as you would have got going direct.
