Sold by an engineer, not a salesman.
Rio Brown Marine is run by a working marine engineer — servicing and repairing boats across Scotland when we aren't selling them. Boats are listed honestly — what's known is stated, what isn't is said plainly. Viewings happen on the water or at the yard, and enquiries get answered by a person, not a call centre.
Marine engineering, wherever your boat lies.
From engines and electrics to drives, pumps and steering — serviced, repaired and rescued, anywhere in Scotland. Day or night, the phone gets answered.
Workboats, fishing boats and coded craft.
Alongside leisure boats, we handle the sale of commercial and working vessels across Scotland — workboats, fishing boats, and MCA-coded craft. Whether you're upgrading your fleet or selling a vessel that's served you well, we understand the practical and regulatory side of commercial sales.
Thinking of selling?
Tell us what you've got and the figure you want for it. If it's a good fit, it's listed and in front of buyers quickly.
