FAQs
How do I buy a boat through your brokerage?
At Big Creek Marine Group, we make buying a boat easy. Start by browsing our current listings online or reach out to us directly for recommendations. Once you find a boat you’re interested in, we’ll schedule a showing or sea trial here on Lake Lanier. From there, we’ll help you negotiate a fair price, coordinate a survey if needed, and handle all paperwork through closing.
Do I need a marine survey before purchasing?
While a marine survey isn’t legally required, we highly recommend it — especially for used boats. A professional survey provides peace of mind by checking the condition, safety, and value of the boat before you commit. We’re happy to connect you with trusted surveyors in the Lake Lanier area.
Do you offer assistance with transporting the boat?
Yes. Whether you need to move your boat across the lake, across Georgia, or out of state, we can coordinate transport with experienced and trusted marine haulers. We handle the logistics so you don’t have to — including scheduling, route planning, and proper loading. Our goal is to make sure your boat arrives safely, on time, and without hassle.
What marketing strategies do you use to sell boats?
We combine local reach with national exposure. Your boat will be listed on major platforms like Boats.com, YachtWorld, and social media channels, as well as promoted directly to our network of qualified buyers. We also offer professional photography, detailed listings, and on-water showings right here at Lake Lanier.
Do I need to keep my boat insured while it’s listed?
Yes, we strongly recommend maintaining full insurance coverage while your boat is listed for sale. Even though your boat may not be in regular use, it can still be exposed to risks such as weather damage, theft, or accidents during showings, sea trials, or transport.
Do you offer trade-ins?
In some cases, yes. We’re happy to evaluate trade-in options on a case-by-case basis. If you’re looking to upgrade or make a change, let us know and we’ll see how we can work it into your deal.
