Boats & yachts for trade
The two happiest days of boat ownership have a third now: the day you trade it for something you’ll use every day: a home, land, an RV, or a truck.
The meter that never stops
- Slip or mooringMonthly, whether you go out or not
- InsurancePriced on value, paid on schedule
- Maintenance & haul-outsThe rule of thumb everyone learns late
- Winterization & storageSeasonal costs for seasonal use
Every line stops the day the trade closes. That’s the motivation behind most listings on this page.
Boat and yacht owners on GoSwap are motivated by high operating costs, changing lifestyles, or a desire to convert marine equity into land-based assets. Powerboats, center consoles, cruisers, fishing vessels, and superyachts are all listed here by owners seeking direct trades.

76’ Lazarra motor yacht
Sarasota, Florida, United States
$499,000
1996 Lazarra 76’ Widebody motor yacht with a spacious five-stateroom, six-head layout, built for extended time on the water and comfortable cruising. The widebody design provides a larger interior footprint than many boats in this class, which is useful for entertaining, liveaboard use, or longer trips with family and guests. Powered by MTU engines with low original hours, this yacht is being offered with a marine survey available for review and is open to trade offers. The yacht presents in an all-white finish with a clean, classic profile, a raised flybridge, large side windows, and generous deck space along the walkaround areas and aft sections. It is a Tampa-built motor yacht, and the layout is suited to those looking for a larger cruising platform with multiple private cabins and heads. The design makes practical use of interior volume, storage, and separation between guest and crew or family spaces. Located in Sarasota, FL, United States, this Lazarra Widebody is a strong option for someone seeking a proven motor yacht with documented survey information and the flexibility to trade. If you are looking for a sizable yacht with a comfortable layout and low-hour main engines, this vessel is worth a closer look.

Who’s selling the slip
Yacht owners with high slip fees, insurance, and maintenance costs converting to more liquid assets
Powerboat owners transitioning from water recreation to land-based hobbies or real estate
Anglers or sportsmen trading specialized fishing vessels for trucks, ATVs, or land
Marina owners or captains restructuring their fleet by trading out vessels they no longer need
Survey, then sea trial. Always.
Buying on the seller’s word about engine hours and history is how boat trades go wrong. The fix costs 1–1.5% of the vessel’s value and protects both sides.
- 1. Commission a marine survey from a NAMS/SAMS surveyor plus a sea trial
- 2. Inspect the hull, engines, and electronics; verify engine hours
- 3. Run a USCG or state title/lien search
- 4. Confirm documentation status and any recorded maritime liens
Trades leaving the marina
A 40-foot express cruiser traded for a vacation property or lakefront land, converting marina costs into owned real estate
A bass boat and trailer swapped for a truck or SUV, giving the owner practical transportation instead of seasonal recreation
A high-end center console traded for a smaller vessel plus cash, right-sizing for the owner’s current lifestyle
State use tax commonly applies to vessel transfers, and documented vessels have their own registry rules. If the boat is moving states, check the destination’s rules too: before closing, not after.
The brokerage-free tier
Sportfishers, express cruisers, and motor yachts don’t have to wait out the marina brokerage market. A direct exchange finds the counterparty who wants your vessel and has what you want next: one negotiation, no commission, no season on the listing sheet.
A 45-foot sportfisher for a waterfront home
Nautical equity connected straight to residential real estate
A center console package for an overlanding truck
Water recreation swapped for land adventure, trailer and gear included
A motor yacht for a small commercial property
Lifestyle asset converted into an income-producing one, plus cash
High-value vessel trades run on documentation: a USCG title abstract, a marine survey with sea trial, escrowed funds and bills of sale, and a closing timed to fund together with the asset on the other side.
