About Us

Established in 1998, Boatshop24.co.uk has become the UK’s favourite online marketplace for finding, buying and selling the very best new and used boats available in the UK and further afield. Over the years, the site has adapted to find new innovative ways to connect boat buyers with sellers and to provide a state-of-the-art platform for brokers and private sellers alike to easily create the attractive adverts their boats deserve. In 2021, Boatshop24.co.uk was acquired by Boats Group, the leading group in the online sale of recreational boats, from Friday Media Group.
