Selling your Beneteau boat starts with good preparation, a realistic asking price, and the right presentation to the right buyers. As a certified yacht broker, Schepenkring guides you through the entire sales process: from the initial valuation to the final transfer. Thanks to a nationwide network of branches and a trilingual website, your Beneteau reaches a broad audience of Dutch and international buyers. You do not have to arrange viewings, negotiate, or handle any paperwork yourself. Schepenkring takes care of all of that for you.
Why is a Beneteau a sought-after ship on the second-hand market?
Beneteau was founded in 1884 and has been producing high-quality sailing and motor yachts for over 130 years. That long track record translates directly into a strong position on the second-hand market. Buyers know what they are buying: a brand with proven quality, wide parts availability, and an active user community. That makes a Beneteau more attractive than many other brands in the same price range.
Innovation in the construction of efficient and robust boats, knowledge of materials, excellence in design and finish, and efforts to reduce the environmental impact make the French shipyard one of the best in terms of marine quality. That reputation works to your advantage as a seller: buyers are willing to pay a fair price for a well-maintained Beneteau because they know that the brand retains its value.
You come across the brand in many European ports. That says something about its popularity, but also about its long-term reliability. As a result, a Beneteau sells not only quickly, but also to a broad target group: from novice sailors to experienced cruisers specifically looking for a particular model.

Schepenkring has experience with the full breadth of the Beneteau range. The Beneteau range includes boats that meet all kinds of requirements: cruisers, racing boats, fishing boats, vessels for family outings, ocean voyages, and watersports.

The sales process at Schepenkring is transparent, structured, and completely hassle-free. You do not have to take a single step yourself after contacting us. The real estate agent takes over completely, from the initial assessment to the handover of the keys.

- Viewings without your presence Because virtually every Schepenkring broker has berths or storage spaces close to the office, interested buyers can come and view the boat without an appointment and without your presence.
- Negotiations and contract handling The real estate agent conducts the negotiations on your behalf and draws up the purchase agreement in accordance with the HISWA terms and contracts.
- Transfer and aftercare After the transfer, the real estate agent remains available for any questions from the buyer or seller.
