Buy a boat through Accepta.
You're in control.
Every boat on Accepta is listed by a dealer, inspected before the window opens, and sold through a live offer event where you can see the competition. The dealer posts the minimum. You decide what it's worth to you. And unlike a listing site, you get an answer — in days.
Certified boats, one at a time.
Center consoles, bay boats, and RIBs from a dealer that has been on the South Shore since 1961. Each listing has the inspection report, engine hours, the full spec sheet, every photo the dealer has, and a public Q&A — so you know what you're offering on before you offer.
One deposit hold. Every event.
Place a refundable deposit hold on a card and you're qualified to offer on any boat in that event. It isn't charged. It's released when the event closes if you don't win, and applied to the price if you do. It's the reason every offer you see on the board is from someone who can actually buy.
See the competition. Set your number.
The leading offer and offer count update live. Raise yours any time before the close. Attach a condition if you need one — “subject to survey,” “subject to sea trial” — and the dealer sees it before deciding. Late offers extend the clock, so the window can't be sniped. When it closes, the leading offer above the minimum wins, and that's binding.
What it costs.
Dealer-owned boats.
You pay a buyer premium of 3%, capped at $2,500, added at closing. The dealer gets the full accepted price. That's how Accepta is paid — the dealer pays nothing.
Consignment boats.
No buyer premium. The seller pays a commission, so the price you offer is the price you pay.
Which one applies is stated on every listing, above the offer box. There are no other fees.
