Specialist brokerages and marinas
Dedicated brokerages and marinas are often the safest and most convenient places to buy a second‑hand boat in Ireland. At Malahide Marina Boat Sales, used listings typically include sailing yachts, motor cruisers, fishing boats and family sports boats, all displayed with detailed descriptions, photos and viewing arranged directly from the marina pontoons. Because the business is part of a full‑service marina with hoist, storage and repair facilities, buyers can also organise surveys, lift‑outs and any agreed works on site, which greatly simplifies the purchase process.
Alongside the main website listings, Malahide Boat Sales also promotes its used stock through established platforms such as Apollo Duck and other Irish and UK brokerage portals, widening the audience while still giving buyers a single, knowledgeable point of contact. This combination of online reach and physical presence makes a professional brokerage one of the best answers to “where can I buy a second hand boat in Ireland?” if you want support before and after the sale.
Irish boat‑sales websites and marketplaces
Ireland has several dedicated boat‑sales websites that list second‑hand boats from private sellers, dealers and brokers. Sites such as Apollo Duck Ireland, Right Boats and other specialist portals host hundreds of used sailing yachts, motor boats and RIBs across the country, often with filters for location, price and boat type. These platforms are useful for comparing prices and seeing what is available nationwide before short‑listing boats to view in person.
General marketplaces like DoneDeal and Adverts.ie also feature many second‑hand boats and jet skis, including everything from small open boats to larger cruisers. However, because listings here can range from well‑maintained family boats to neglected projects, it is especially important to arrange an independent survey and, where possible, involve a professional yard or broker to check paperwork, title and condition.
Why choose Malahide Marina Boat Sales for used boats
For buyers who prefer guidance from experienced boaters, Malahide Marina Boat Sales offers a tailored route into boat ownership. The brokerage team markets quality used boats on behalf of owners, prepares accurate listings and coordinates viewings, sea trials and negotiations from its base at Malahide Marina, just north of Dublin city. Current second‑hand listings have included popular models such as the Dufour 32 Classic, Sadler 32, Jeanneau Merry Fisher 815 and larger steel cruisers, giving a good spread of options for coastal cruising and inland use.
Because the marina includes a large boatyard with hoist, storage and repair facilities, buyers can also arrange surveys, antifouling, engine servicing and any upgrades in one place, with preferential terms for berth‑holders and winter packages. This level of after‑sales support is difficult to match when buying privately and is a key reason many boaters looking for a second‑hand boat in Ireland choose to work with a professional brokerage based in a full‑service marina.
