FAQ


What types of vessels are sold at Australian marine auctions?
Everything from small tinnies and jet skis to trailer boats, cruisers, sailboats, and commercial working vessels. Common sources include bank repossessions, deceased estates, and government/commercial fleet disposals.

Are marine surveys required before bidding?
Auction vessels are typically sold as-is without a survey. For anything above a tinny, a pre-purchase marine survey is strongly recommended. Arrange this during the inspection period before the auction closes.

What should I check before bidding on a boat?
Hull condition, engine hours and service history, trailer condition, registration status, and any finance encumbrances (check PPSR). Ask the auctioneer for any available service records.

How is a boat transferred after purchase?
Marine registration varies by state. The auctioneer will provide the transfer paperwork; you’ll need to register the vessel in your name with your state maritime authority.

Rod’s Tips


Inspect in person if at all possible. Boat condition is difficult to assess from photos alone. Water damage, osmotic blistering, and engine wear are hard to spot without a hands-on look. Attend the preview day and bring a knowledgeable friend if you’re not experienced with boats.

Factor on-costs into your budget. Beyond the hammer price and buyer’s premium, budget for mooring or storage, insurance, registration transfer, and any compliance work. A cheap boat can become an expensive boat quickly.

Bank repossession auctions offer genuine value. Repossessed vessels are typically sold without reserve. The bank wants its money back, not a profit — which creates buying opportunities for well-prepared bidders who’ve done their homework.

    More detail

    This is a project for a serious restorer, not a weekend tinkerer. The Vindex 32 Flybridge has a solid hull and deck, but everything else has been gutted. The flybridge structure is there, and it comes with a trailer, but you are buying a bare shell.

It comes paired with a Mercury 150hp four-stroke outboard, which is a reliable workhorse for this size hull.

    The trailer is a galvanised Dunbier, so you won’t be fighting rust any time soon. Inspection is highly recommended to confirm condition, but the model year alone suggests low hours and plenty of life left.

The gaff rig gives it character and the ability to ghost along in light airs, while the Yanmar diesel provides reliable push when the wind drops.

    Inspection is highly recommended, especially for a timber vessel. The auction runs from Friday 22 May to Thursday 28 May 2026, closing at 2pm AEST.

Its current location in Phuket means it is ready to work in one of the world’s busiest dive destinations right after settlement.

    Key specs include twin Cummins diesel engines, a generator, and onboard air compressors for filling tanks. The lot list also shows dive tanks, regulators, and BCDs included in the sale so you are not starting from scratch. Accommodation is set up for multi-day charters, with bunks and galley facilities.

    Buyers should factor in the cost of a survey, crew visas, and any Thai registration transfer fees. The auction runs from 22 May to 28 May 2026, with bidding closing at 2pm AEST. This is a turnkey dive business asset, not just a boat.
