New Improved Irish Boats for Sale Site

We've upgraded Afloat's boats for sale site to feature a new and simple upload to add your boat to the site.

Your feed back told us that you're fed up with 'free ad' sites cluttered with junk. You asked for one with real ads, real boats, and real value.

So we've introduced a modest charge on our site to discourage the posting of fictitious boats. It costs 10 Euro for 60 days.

Select the category of boat (from sailing dinghies to motor cruisers) you wish to browse and click away to find your next boat!

There's tips too for buyers and sellers covering choosing a boat, asessing value, financing a boat, advertising a boat for sale and the necessary paperwork.

Our aim is to provide an independent quality alternative where Irish boat buyer can meet Irish boat seller at a cost-effective price.

If you're selling a boat, register and place your ad in three easy stages for as little as €10.

About World Ocean Day

World Ocean Day is celebrated annually on June 8th to highlight the important role the ocean has for our life and the planet. The focus each year is on the 30x30 campaign: to create a healthy ocean with abundant wildlife and to stabilise the climate, it is critical that 30% of our planet’s lands, waters, and oceans are protected by 2030.

One of the issues affecting our ocean is marine litter which has become a global problem for both humans and marine life. However, communities around Ireland have demonstrated their desire to be part of the solution by taking part in several beach cleaning and clean-up calls to action.

Statistics show that the number one cause of marine litter is litter dropped in towns and cities.

In 2021, the initiative changed its name from “World Oceans Day” to “World Ocean Day”. By dropping the “s”, its organisers wanted to highlight the fact that we are all connected by a large ocean. This shared ocean supports all life on the planet, by producing most of the oxygen we breathe and regulating climate. No matter where we live, we all depend on the ocean to survive.

This means that each piece of marine litter removed from a beach, river, lake, park or street in Ireland, will have a positive impact on a global scale.
