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.

  • Motorbike, Marine & Recreation Assets Auction

    Motorbike, Marine & Recreation Assets Auction

    Wed 11 Nov 2026 • Location TBC • 21 lots • Lloyds Auctions

    A spread of boats, jet skis, trailers and campers is on offer through Lloyds Auctions in a national online sale closing 11 November. The marine gear leads the charge: a 2010 Larson LX 710 Bow Rider with a Mercury 200hp outboard, a 2024 Sea-Doo FishPro Sport 170, a 2022 Sea-Doo RXT-X RS 300 and a 2016 Yamaha FX SVHO, backed by a 2025 Market Direct Campers Explorer FF and a 2011 Toyota Coaster 50 Series bus.

    More detail

    This is a genuine mixed bag, and that is the appeal. The boat list runs from a 1980 Haines Hunter 445C Half Cabin through to a 2003 Ally Craft 410 Scout Runabout with a Yamaha 30, so there is something for a first-timer and something for a buyer chasing a bigger rig. The personal watercraft stand out: the 2024 Sea-Doo FishPro Sport 170 and 2022 Sea-Doo RXT-X RS 300 are recent models, and the 2016 Yamaha FX SVHO rounds out the ski options.

    On the trailer side, several items are listed as unused, including a 2025 MAXI Premium Package Tradie Trailer, a 2025 GREEN PTY LTD tipper trailer and a 2025 Nathan Shop 8×8 multi purpose box cargo unit. A 2018 PBL Trailers enclosed trailer in white is also in the mix.

    Lloyds notes the wider catalogue spans vehicles, jewellery, collectables, plant and equipment, and general goods, so it pays to scroll the full list rather than stop at the boats. Everything runs online, with bidding closing 11 November.

  • National Online Salvage Caravans, Recreational & Marine

    National Online Salvage Caravans, Recreational & Marine

    Wed 11 Nov 2026 • Various Locations, NAT • 124 lots • Pickles

    More detail

    This is a salvage and recreational clearance with plenty of variety for anyone chasing project gear or a cheap towable. The marine side is worth a look: a Stessco Catcher 420 and a Bar Crusher 560C sit alongside an unbranded hull, giving both tinny hunters and offshore hopefuls something to work with.

    On the caravan and camper front there’s a 2023 Wandering Star and a 2018 Fantasy F Series, plus a Leader Xpedition and a 2014 Tymeyre. A 2008 Ranger Transtour rounds out the towable list.

    For something different, a 2023 Polaris General XP1000 side-by-side and a 2026 Wrangler Trailer WTT85-20 are also listed. Lots are held at various locations nationally, so check each item’s location and condition report before bidding. Salvage means as-is, so factor in inspection and transport costs.

  • 2011 Bar Crusher 780HT Aluminium Hardtop Fishing Boat Online Auction

    2011 Bar Crusher 780HT Aluminium Hardtop Fishing Boat Online Auction

    Date TBC • Australia • 1 lots • liquidassets

    A 2011 Bar Crusher 780HT aluminium hardtop is on the block through liquidassets. The 780HT is the big-water model in the Bar Crusher range, built for offshore fishing with a hardtop, self-draining deck and plenty of room to work a spread of rods.

    More detail

    This is a single-lot online auction of a 2011 Bar Crusher 780HT, one of the more sought-after Australian plate alloy boats. The 780HT sits at the larger end of the range, with a hardtop for weather protection, a deep vee hull for offshore work and the fishing layout Bar Crusher is known for.

    The boat is being offered through liquidassets, which runs online auctions of vehicles, plant, equipment and industrial assets. For anyone chasing a capable offshore fishing platform, this is a straightforward single-lot sale rather than a mixed catalogue.

    Inspect before you bid. Check the hull for corrosion and dents, the condition of the trailer if one is included, engine hours and service history, and the electronics. Confirm what’s in the sale, registration status and pickup arrangements with the auctioneer before the close date, which is still to be confirmed.

  • Tasman Savage (Council Abandoned Asset)

    Tasman Savage (Council Abandoned Asset)

    Date TBC • 2 Ashford Ave Milperra • 1 lots • Slattery Auctions

    A Tasman Savage boat is on the block from a council abandoned asset sale, listed with Slattery Auctions in Milperra, NSW. It’s a single-lot marine listing, so if you’re after a project hull or something to strip for parts, this is worth a look.

  • 2023 Island Gypsy 650

    2023 Island Gypsy 650

    Date TBC • Brisbane QLD • marine

    A 2023 Island Gypsy 650 is being listed through a marine auction out of Brisbane, with the vessel itself sitting on the Gold Coast for inspection. The boat must be sold because the owner has already bought another one, so expect the bidding to reflect that.

    More detail

    This is a late-model Island Gypsy 650, a solid Australian-built cruiser with a strong following among boaters who want something capable and comfortable. At 2023 build, it’s barely run in, and the listing comes with a clear reason for sale: the owner has moved on to another vessel, which usually means a motivated result on the day.

    Inspection is highly recommended before bidding, and given the boat is on the Gold Coast, it’s worth a look in person rather than relying on photos alone. Bidding opens Tuesday 24 November and closes Monday 30 November 2026 at 2pm AEST, so there’s a defined window to get your checks done and your numbers sorted.

  • 1986 Markline 1100 Flybridge

    1986 Markline 1100 Flybridge

    Date TBC • Brisbane QLD • marine

    A 1986 Markline 1100 Flybridge is being offered through a Brisbane-based marine auction, with the boat itself sitting in Cairns, Queensland. The flybridge cruiser is the headline lot, and inspection is highly recommended before bidding opens on Tuesday, 24 November and closes Monday, 30 October 2026 at 2pm AEST.

    More detail

    This is a single-lot marine auction centred on a 1986 Markline 1100 Flybridge, a solid Australian-built flybridge cruiser that has been around long enough to have proven itself on the water. The boat is located in Cairns, so north Queensland buyers get the advantage of a local inspection without the freight bill.

    Inspection is flagged as highly recommended by the auctioneer, which is the right call on any vessel of this age. Hull, decks, engine and electricals all deserve a close look in person before you commit.

    Bidding opens Tuesday, 24 November and runs through to Monday, 30 October 2026 at 2pm AEST. Note that gap between the start and close dates, and confirm timing with the auctioneer before you plan around it.

  • 1986 18.5m Converted Steel Fishing Vessel- 3B Survey

    1986 18.5m Converted Steel Fishing Vessel- 3B Survey

    Date TBC • Brisbane QLD • marine

    A converted steel fishing vessel with serious offshore range is being listed through marine auctions in Brisbane. La Meridian is an 18.5m motor-sailer with 3B survey, built in 1986 and set up for commercial fishing, family cruising or long-haul offshore work.

    More detail

    La Meridian is an 18.5m steel motor-sailer that blends three roles in one hull: commercial fishing capability, family cruising comfort and long-range offshore potential. The 1986 build carries 3B survey, which matters if you plan to put it to work rather than just play.

    The boat is located in Bundaberg, Queensland, so inspection logistics are worth sorting before the hammer falls. Online bidding opens Tuesday, 24 November and runs to Monday, 30 October 2026 at 2pm AEST.

    For anyone chasing a steel-hulled vessel with genuine offshore legs, this is a rare mix of working boat and cruiser. Check the survey status and steel condition closely, then bid with a clear plan for how you’ll use it.

  • 1995 Savage Aluminium 4.5m Boat and 100 HP Mercury Outboard

    1995 Savage Aluminium 4.5m Boat and 100 HP Mercury Outboard

    Date TBC • 142 Roma Downs Road Roma QLD 4455 • 1 lots • Slattery Auctions

  • 1997 Success Craft 1600 Sport With Trailer

  • 2005 Sealegs SLH56

    2005 Sealegs SLH56

    Date TBC • Mackay, QLD • 1 lots • Slattery Auctions

  • Unreserved - 22.45m Power Catamaran

    Unreserved – 22.45m Power Catamaran

    Date TBC • Brisbane QLD • marine

    A 22.45m power catamaran is being listed unreserved through marine auctions, with the vessel located in Sydney, NSW. Upper levels are fire damaged, making the boat a rebuild proposition from the main deck up.

    More detail

    This is a big cat with a clear brief: the upper levels have fire damage, and the vessel is described as ideally suited to a rebuild from the main deck up. That framing matters for anyone weighing a project, since it points to a hull and main deck worth working with rather than a cosmetic tidy-up.

    The listing is unreserved, so the outcome will be decided by the bidding rather than a reserve. Online bidding is set to commence on Tuesday, 24 November and close on Monday, 30 October 2026 at 2pm AEST, giving buyers a long runway to inspect, plan and price the rebuild before the hammer.

    At 22.45m, this is a serious platform, and project boats of that size rarely come to market unreserved. Do your homework on the fire damage and what the upper-level rebuild involves before bidding.

  • 1982 Morgan 46ft Ketch

    1982 Morgan 46ft Ketch

    Date TBC • Brisbane QLD • marine

    A 1982 Morgan 46ft ketch is being listed through a Brisbane auctioneer, with the vessel itself sitting in Hervey Bay, Queensland. The yacht is a serious offshore cruiser from a well-known American yard, and inspection is strongly recommended before bidding opens on 24 November.

    More detail

    This Morgan 46 is a ketch-rigged bluewater yacht from 1982, built by Morgan Yachts in the USA. The 46ft hull and ketch rig make it a capable long-distance cruiser, and the layout suits liveaboard or extended passage work.

    The boat is located in Hervey Bay, Queensland, so buyers should factor in travel for inspection. The auctioneer flags inspection as highly recommended, which is sensible for any vessel of this age, and it is being sold with a must-be-sold instruction, so the reserve should be realistic.

    Bidding opens Tuesday 24 November and closes Monday 30 October 2026 at 2pm AEST, entirely online. Get eyes on the hull, rig and engine before you commit.

  • 15m Marina Berth at The Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron

    15m Marina Berth at The Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron

    Date TBC • Brisbane QLD • marine

    A 15m marina berth at The Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron is being offered by the Public Trustee of Queensland. The berth sits at Manly in Brisbane’s east, with online bidding opening 24 November and closing 30 October 2026 at 2pm AEST.

    More detail

    This is a berth sale handled under instruction from the Public Trustee, which means a clean, court-overseen process and a seller that wants the matter settled. The berth is 15m, putting it in the range of a serious cruiser or a decent sports boat rather than a tender.

    Manly is one of Brisbane’s better sailing addresses, with the yacht squadron on the doorstep and Moreton Bay a short run out. Berths of this length don’t come up often, and a trustee sale tends to draw buyers who want the paperwork straightforward.

    Bidding runs online from 24 November through to 30 October 2026 at 2pm AEST. Anyone serious about a permanent mooring in the bay should be reading the conditions of sale before the first bid lands.

    Date TBC • 131-153 Main Beach Rd Pinkenba QLD 4008 • 1 lots • Slattery Auctions

  • UNRESERVED 18m Commercial Steel Trawler

    UNRESERVED 18m Commercial Steel Trawler

    Date TBC • Brisbane QLD • marine

    An 18m commercial steel trawler is being listed through marine auctions, currently sitting on hard stand in Bundaberg, Queensland. The vessel comes with tank and refrigeration facilities and has been salvaged and stored, with online bidding running from Friday 23 October to Thursday 29 October 2026, closing 2pm AEST.

    More detail

    This is a full commercial trawler hull, 18m of steel, set up with tank and refrigeration capacity from its working days. It has since been salvaged and stored on hard stand in Bundaberg, so anyone inspecting can get a proper look at the hull and onboard systems without needing a slipway.

    The auction runs unreserved, which means it sells regardless of price. Bidding opens Friday 23 October 2026 and closes Thursday 29 October at 2pm AEST.

    Worth a look if you run a marine operation, want a project hull, or need steel and refrigeration gear for a rebuild. Being on hard stand in Bundaberg makes inspection straightforward before bidding closes.

  • 1993 43ft Symbol Motor Cruiser

    1993 43ft Symbol Motor Cruiser

    Date TBC • Brisbane QLD • marine

    A 43ft Symbol motor cruiser from 1993 is being listed through a marine auction based in Brisbane. The vessel, located in Cairns, Queensland, is a solid option for anyone after a capable cruiser without new-boat pricing. Inspection is highly recommended before bidding.

    More detail

    This 1993 Symbol motor cruiser measures 43ft and is located in Cairns, Queensland. It is being offered through a marine auctioneer based in Brisbane, with online bidding running from Friday, 23 October 2026 until Thursday, 29 October 2026 at 2pm AEST.

    The auctioneer has flagged inspection as highly recommended, which is standard advice for a vessel of this age and size. Buyers should arrange a look before bidding closes to check the hull, engines and onboard systems for themselves.

    Full details on the cruiser are limited in the listing, so it pays to contact the auctioneer directly for the spec sheet and inspection arrangements.
