NZ Boat Sales is proud to be the first boat brokerage in New Zealand to successfully introduce and conduct Reverse (Dutch) Auctions.

A Reverse (Dutch) Auction begins with an agreed starting price, together with predetermined time intervals and price reductions. As the campaign progresses, the asking price is reduced until a buyer commits to purchase or the seller’s confidential reserve price is reached.

This innovative sales method creates urgency, attracts serious buyers, and can significantly reduce the time a vessel remains on the market. It is particularly effective for vendors who are motivated to achieve a sale within a defined timeframe while maintaining complete control over the minimum acceptable selling price.

Every Reverse (Dutch) Auction is professionally managed by NZ Boat Sales, with each price reduction promoted across our marketing platforms to maximise buyer exposure and generate ongoing interest throughout the campaign.

To find out whether a Reverse (Dutch) Auction is the right sales strategy for your vessel, please contact one of our BROKERS.
