Why Use Lonely Boats™?

At LonelyBoats®, we know there are countless vessels lying idle in marinas, boatyards, and even back gardens on trailers.  They’re not wrecks — just neglected, forgotten, and unloved. Rather than letting them fade into memory, we believe every boat deserves a fresh chapter with someone ready to bring her back to the water.

That’s why we created LonelyBoats™ — a platform dedicated to re-homing these forgotten vessels. We promote listings through our Boat Scrapyard & Lonelyboats Facebook Group, connecting your boat with over 60,000 active members who may be looking for their next project. Our guiding principle is simple: no healthy boat should end up in the corner of a boatyard or under a tree if there’s still life left in it.

We’re careful about what we share. If a boat is beyond saving or poses a risk, we won’t pass it along. LonelyBoats™ is about helping the boats that are too good to abandon and forget — the ones that just need attention, effort, and a new owner.

For a one-off upfront fee of £100, we’ll list your boat and handle all enquiries. Interested buyers contact us, and we pass their details directly to you. From there, you decide the terms — whether selling or even giving the boat away. Either way, it’s a fraction of the cost of scrapping (if you really must) and you stay in control of the sales process and it remains listed until it sells.

On this page, you can see examples of boats we’re currently advertising, alongside many we’ve successfully matched with new owners, and if a buyer can’t be found, we can discuss the next steps and if no other options are feasible or practical, arrange a professional end-of-life disposal service.

So why let your boat sit and depreciate? Send us the details today, and let us help you find the right match for your lonely boat.
