We own our second new boat in 4 years.This one just over 12 months old with current engine guarantees and boat in excellent order. As active retirees,we have now done boating(been there-done that)now want to travel the world.At our time of life, time is more important than money (Not vastly rich though!)So our problem is this. How can we offer this boat for sale at a truly bargain price without people thinking there is a catch? Any advice welcome please. Boat is flybridge in Spain on pretty rented mooring.

Go to a broker, and give them the info.
Or even better, be brutally honest in your advert and stick on a good number of sales web sites

Price the boat at a keen price, but not way low - otherwise people who want a good one will assume it is a dog and not bother getting in touch....add "ONO" or "Asking".....and when you get real buyers turn up who are interested mention that you are expecting to negotiate on the price and then be very willing to drop the price if someone does start making offers.
Or stick it on E-bay. No reserve

Why on earth would you want to?
Why not put it on the market at a realistic price and see what happens. The secondhand market in Spain is particularly bad at the moment so maybe your price is realistic in the current climate. A recent boat show at my marina in Spain had zero sales reported by some agents.
However on the bright side, you would get paid in euros which is advantageous against the pound.
As a suggestion ask your marina if you can transfer the berth to the new potential owner. Berths in pretty places are so difficult to get on the Med and would be a real selling point in the advert.

Yes you are right, plain advertising would be wrong but I asked so you're just answering my question
