MarineTrader.com is a marketplace where people buy and sell boats — motor boats, sailing yachts, RIBs, jet skis, narrowboats, kayaks, engines, trailers and equipment — and where marine businesses list their services. We built it because boat buyers deserve clear adverts, honest sellers and fair pricing, and private sellers shouldn't have to hand over a slice of the sale.
What we do
- Free browsing and searching of every live boat advert, across country sites in 13 languages.
- A free first advert for private sellers, low-cost adverts after that, and plans for dealers and marine businesses.
- A marine services directory covering dealers, marinas, engineers, surveyors, boatyards and more.
- Built-in messaging so buyers and sellers can talk without sharing personal contact details up front.
Our approach to trust
Every seller passes a photo ID and live selfie check before their first advert goes live. We ask sellers to advertise honestly — accurate specifications, engine hours, real photographs of the actual boat, and clear paperwork details. Adverts that break our rules are removed, and repeat offenders lose their accounts.
