BOAT AUCTION 2023: Where to buy a SUPER CHEAP sailboat!
Here at Shoreline Marina in Long Beach, CA we have a boat auction twice per year. In this video I bring you along with me to watch bidders buy boats for super cheap. Some of them didn’t even get a bid and weren’t sold at all. The opening bid for a sailboat is $400 and they still didn’t sell.
These sailboats are run down and dirty. Most of…

Very interesting, which time of a year do they have the auction?

Boats are the most expendable luxury item to own. High initial cost. Then constant repairs of one sort or another. In time, they become costly burdens.
Terrible auctioneer
that Coronado 30 such a nice boat … 🙁
🎉do you have wattapps my friend
Can deliver in my country sir I am from Philippines
There is no such thing as a cheap boat. So ends today’s lesson. Cheers!
Should do a story on that buyer. Call it, buying $3000 worth of lead, for $100 bucks.
Obviously arrested the owners
Government steals from poor. You can't anchor out anymore because there's no place to land your dingy. Glad I did my cruising in the 1970s.
A lot of people think it's sad to see these boats get scrapped, buy there's much more positive side to the story. The only way to find some of the parts to maintain and restore old sailboats, is from other salvaged boats. Hopefully the salvaged parts end up on eBay, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or some local used part market (I love Minnie's Yacht Surplus in Newport Beach, CA). When your viewers finally do get the fixer-upper sailboat they've been dreaming about (and I hope they do), they'll be grateful that some boats get scrapped by guys like "Capt. America". For anybody maintaining a large boat on a modest budget, guys like him are actual heroes.
I'm posting this after skimming over 750+ comments, looking for information that would help me get the windshield from that Columbia 45 (I'm not asking you for more info because I know you don't have it). I bought one two years ago that was seaworthy and insurable, but still needed a lot of work. If the Columbia 45 in your video ended up in a scrapyard within 100 miles of Los Angeles, I would be there asap, loading up on spare parts (and getting the windshield I've been looking for).
That big Columbia looked great. Lots of work but a sturdy dependable design with amazing cabin and galley room!
am i crazy or this is crazy? not one sold …..like they all have hole and sunk …..what happens to them if not sold?
I really like it but my hometown Vietnam is too far away.. thank you for the video
That was fun for sure! I would have bid on that last Catalina 30. I'd first haul it out and check for that Catalina smile, these boats are notorious for keel separating from hull. The rest of it is normal clean and maintenance. These boats are roomy and fun to sail.
Presumably they were just left in pens and nobody was paying the fees?
Hello to Misty; Andy, Another great Video… Hey Mark!!
Thanks for sharing Andy. That 46 looked interesting if could get for under $400.00
Nothing is more expensive than a Free Boat.
Thouse boats are all methed. Up……..😬
is there any point in restoring these boats? i mean the wood under that gelcoat could be rotten right?
What do you guys think is it better to buy one of these poor boat and fix her up as i save from paycheck to paycheck or buy a sailaway boat spending all that big buck all at once?
There’s a dead grandma under that lot! Gpx
so the fat slob bought them all ………..how do you even get them out of there once you buy them ?? can you "sail" them out of there ? lol
No thanks.
Interesting video. Thanks. The truth is that it costs thousands to scrap one of these. So if they can give em away they are way ahead. A friend bought a Morgan OI 33 for a dollar. She now has over 20K into it and still not up to a nice one that you could have bought ready to cruise for similar money. I wouldn’t touch any of those boats. Not worth it. If you are young and very handy with a decent budget to referb. AND LOTS of ambition. Ok. Have fun.
Boat graveyard😂
Please update me on any auction on east coast.
These look like confiscated anchorout. My town of Sausalito is taking away boats because they claim the anchors are hurting the Eel grass, but the mega yachts behemoth anchors are fine? They are also unfairly using the three day moorage to tow away boats. They lied about the number of anchorouts over the years. (Most people couldn't live as an Anchorout. They just don't have the skills, or the health to live on the water. I'm tired of MIMBY's making everything illegial. There are literally no cheap ways to live anymore. It's unAmerican?)
The problem is not really the deals. The problem is that boat you buy for $300 has to leave the marina immediately. Which is why they don't sell. No other marina will accept them. Dirty and unregistered. You have to remove the boat from the water and fix it. Then wait maybe years for a slip to open up. Then pay $700 a month to store your $300 boat. In the end, the marinas usually pay a lot of money to have these boats removed and destroyed.
I got my Catalina 36 for $750 at a boat auction. Granted it smells bad and needs a new engine but it has a solid hull and can be brought back with a little work. I have the skills, I will find the time and money and soon I will be sailing on the Puget Sound and Salish Sea.
When’s the next boat auction?
Bonjour
Subbed from France great video
Dear Andy & Misty, I would be interested in the auction and have some questions about it. (By the way, I signed up for the notification list, but there was no auction in September. I hope to be notified of the next one.)
1. Can a foreign (EU.) citizen participate in the auction?
2. Do the ships sold come with any kind of ship documents and ship certificates?
3. Can the purchased boats be transported only by land, or by water (towed or sailing)?
4. You mentioned a grace period of a few days for delivery. It is possible to improve the condition of the ship in the port during this time; work on it?
If you know, please answer my questions. Thanks.
When is the next boat auction
Better early than late 😂😂😂
I think you will be getting load boat load of headaches!
If ever there was a video to put someone off buying a used boat, this might be it. I enjoyed watching it – but boy, those boats are horrible.
Ukraińskie tłumaczenie jest a gdzie Polskie? Nie polecam!
repurposing/renewing a used boat is one way of keeping derelict boats out of our oceans and landfills. Another action that qualifies for our #onemillionboater pledge to change one thing to help protect oceans from pollution. Kudos for promoting these boat auctions!
Thanks that was a good video
