Premier are pleased to announce the launch of Boatsandchandlery.com

This exciting, totally new site has been created specifically for the marine community - all water sports enthusiasts will benefit.

The site has been carefully designed to offer a platform for boating enthusiasts to buy, sell or even exchange any chandlery items from fenders to clothing, as well as boats - of any size, shape and make!

Premier will launch boatsandchandlery.com at London Boatshow on stand N010 at 4pm on 11th January, with demonstrations available throughout the show.

Boatsandchandlery.com came about because Premier realised within their database of 20,000 including circa 6,000 berth holders, there must be a great deal of unwanted boating items and many people searching for that second hand spare! 

The idea behind the new site is that if one person has some unwanted chandlery that they think someone else could still use or enjoy, or perhaps even a boat (whether it be a dinghy or a 50ft yacht) - they can simply create an advert on boatsandchandlery.com, set the price and wait for the offers to come rolling in.

In the first instance, any interested buyers will be able to contact sellers via the site, and once the introduction has been made, communication will be direct with
one another to arrange payment, pick up or delivery etc.

Premier has invested greatly in putting the new site together to ensure it is well organised, "good looking" and most importantly, user friendly.  Posting an advert will be quick and simple, taking only a few minutes. 

And because the site is run by Premier, the advert will instantly be given a highly targeted, marine community based audience with the site being promoted through Premier's own magazine Masthead and through Premerimarinas.com.
