ALmost every marina will have a boat brokerage. For the Chester area, there's

 

Venetian marina (lots of boats here)

Tattenhall marina

Overwater marina

Aqueduct marina

not sure if Nantwich has any boats?

Swanley Bridge marina

 

(I might have missed some)

 

For private ads, most seem to use apolloduck although ebay is used too.

 

Google the above marinas for lists of boats and their addresses/postcodes etc. Be aware that it seems everyone and their dog is looking for boats, now that the weather has changed and spring has sprung, so to speak. And with the economic climate improving too, its probably a more hopeful year for boat sales than last year. So expect not to be the only one looking for boats tomorrow (Saturday).

 

There's also a number of other threads from people looking for their first boat, which may help too.

Apollo Duck lets you search by county (under 'Advanced Search', top of page). Ebay of course lets you search 'nearest first' if you input a postcode.

 

Despite that, it's worth searching well outside your area to find 'the one'. Don't be afraid to travel to view boats if you can; it would be worth putting in a few miles over the next three weeks if it means getting the right boat.
