Buying a Boat

How do I search for boats?
Use the search bar on the homepage or browse by boat type, state, or city. You can filter results by price range, year, length, condition, and more from the search results page.
How do I contact a seller?
Each listing has a contact section where you can reveal the seller's phone number or email, or send them a message through our built-in contact form. You don't need an account to contact sellers.
Is it free to browse and buy?
Yes. Browsing listings and contacting sellers is completely free. There are no buyer fees on our platform.
Should I inspect a boat before buying?
Absolutely. We strongly recommend inspecting any boat in person before purchasing. Consider hiring a certified marine surveyor for boats over $10,000. Always verify the title and registration before completing a transaction.
How do I know if a listing is legitimate?
Look for detailed descriptions, multiple photos, and reasonable pricing. Be cautious of listings with no photos, prices far below market value, or sellers who refuse to meet in person. Check our Safety Tips page for more guidance.

Selling Your Boat

What are the different ways to list my boat?
We offer three options: Quick Post (no account needed, 1 photo, free), Regular Account (up to 3 listings, 5 photos each, free), and Dealer Account (up to 50 listings, 30 photos each, free for the first 12 months).
How does Quick Post work?
Quick Post lets you list your boat in minutes without creating an account. You verify your identity via email or SMS, upload 1 photo, and your listing goes live. You can edit your listing anytime using a magic link sent to your email.
How long do listings stay active?
All listings are active for 30 days. Regular and Quick Post users can manually renew their listings before or after expiration. Dealer listings auto-renew as long as the subscription is active.
Can I add more photos to my listing?
Quick Post includes 1 photo. Regular accounts include 5 photos per listing, with an option to upgrade to unlimited photos for a one-time fee of $20. Dealer accounts include 30 photos per listing.
How should I price my boat?
Research similar boats on our platform to see what comparable models are listed for. Consider the year, condition, hours, and included accessories. Listings priced at fair market value typically sell faster.
How do I mark my boat as sold?
Log in to your dashboard, find the listing, and click "Mark as Sold." This updates the listing status and moves it to our Sold Boats section, which helps other users research market prices.

How do I delete my account?
