Frequently Asked Questions
European Marine Auctions (EMarine) is an aggregator of second-hand and salvage vehicle auctions from across Europe. We gather public listings from many auction sites into one searchable place so you can find, compare and follow auctions that would otherwise be spread across dozens of websites.
No. We do not run auctions, sell vehicles or take bids. Every listing links to the original auction site, and that is where registration, bidding, payment and collection happen. Our role is purely informational.
Use the search bar in the header or open Detailed Search, where you can filter by brand, model, country, condition, fuel type, boat type, hull material, engine installation, price, engine hours and year. The home page shows the listings with the most bids and a featured selection.
From publicly available listings on third-party auction sites across Europe. The source site is named on every card, in the photo gallery and in the “Listing source” box of each detail page. The page “How we source data” in the footer explains this in detail.
Not necessarily. A listing can change after we last read it: prices move with every bid, sellers edit descriptions and auctions can end early. Always confirm the final details on the original listing before bidding.
Followed auctions are listings you marked with the heart icon so you can find them again in one place. My alerts are searches you saved; when you enable email notifications for an alert, we email you about new listings that match it. Both need a free account.
No. You can browse and search every listing without one. An account is only needed to follow auctions and to save searches as alerts.
Use the “Sign in” button in the top-right corner. A dialog opens where you can sign in or sign up with your email address and a password, or continue with your Google account.
Open the “Sign in” dialog and choose the reset option. Enter the email address you registered with and follow the instructions in the email you receive.
On some auction sites it only means the vehicle started, went into gear and moved under its own power when it arrived at the auction location. It does not mean the vehicle is safe, roadworthy or fully tested. Each site defines its terms differently, so check the definition on the original listing.
Popular sorts listings by the number of bids at the moment. Featured is a selection of listings. Neither is a valuation, a recommendation or a representative sample of the market.
It depends on the auction site: buyer fees, VAT, payment charges, storage and release fees are common, and transport, registration and repairs come on top. Read the fee schedule on the original site and estimate the total before you set a maximum bid.
No. Photos are displayed from the original auction site and belong to it. Each gallery states which site they come from. If a photo is missing or unclear, check the original listing.
The listing stays visible here for reference and is marked as ended. The button still leads to the original listing, where you can see the outcome. Bidding only ever happens on the original site.
Listings come from auction sites in several European countries. The list of sites currently aggregated is on the “How we source data” page and changes as sites are added or removed.
Email us with the URL of the listing on this site and what looks wrong. We check every report against the original listing and correct or remove our record.
