Boats for sale on
the west coast.
Independent boat brokerage on Scotland's west coast, based in Oban. Honest listings, straight answers. RIBs, day boats, motor cruisers, fishing boats and sailing yachts — buying or selling, you deal with Rio direct.
Sold by an engineer, not a salesman
Rio is a marine engineer by trade, buying and fixing boats since he was twelve. He can tell you what an engine has left in it. Ask anything — you'll get a straight answer.
Local, and here all year
Boats lying at Dunstaffnage, Oban and Kerrera, Craobh Haven, Ardfern, Melfort and the islands. Come and see any of them on the water.
You get Rio on the phone
No call centre, no forms that go nowhere. Ring and you speak to the man selling the boat.

No sales patter.
Rio Brown grew up around the pier at Oban and served his time as a marine engineer. He bought his first boat at twelve, sold it at thirteen, and has not really stopped since. Boats here are listed honestly — what's known is stated, what isn't is said plainly — and deposits are held safely until the sale completes.
Thinking of selling?
Tell Rio what you've got. If the boat's right for the books, he'll come back with the figure he'd ask for it — and nothing to pay until it sells.
