Our part exchange scheme allows you to trade in your current boat as part payment towards another boat listed for sale with Lakeland Leisure Boat Sales. It’s a quicker, simpler alternative to selling privately.
We consider a wide range of vessels including narrowboats, widebeams and river cruisers. If you're unsure whether your boat qualifies, simply get in touch and we’ll advise.
Yes. To qualify for part exchange, the boat you wish to purchase must currently be listed for sale at one of our marinas or on our brokerage.
We carry out a professional valuation based on age and condition, build quality and specification, engine hours and service history, market demand, and comparable boats currently for sale. Our aim is to offer a fair, competitive figure based on current market conditions.
Not always. We will assess your boat as part of our valuation process. However, if there are known structural issues or major works required, we may request additional information.
Once you’ve chosen your new boat, the process can move quickly - often significantly faster than selling privately. Timescales depend on valuation, acceptance, and handover arrangements, but we aim to keep everything smooth and efficient.

In most cases, part exchange is used toward a higher-value purchase. If your boat’s value exceeds the purchase price, speak to us to discuss the available options.

Part exchange offers: no advertising costs, no waiting for buyers, no time-wasters, no separate sale and purchase chains, and a faster, more secure upgrade process. It’s ideal if you’ve already found the boat you want and would prefer a straightforward transition.
