Every seller here is identity checked
Before any advert goes live the seller passes a photo ID check matched against a live selfie. Buyers arrive expecting a real, traceable business rather than an anonymous phone number.

How it works for marine businesses
What your profile page shows
Your business gets its own page: description, photos, the services and areas you cover, opening hours, phone, website, prices if you want to publish them, and any accreditations you hold.
Reach buyers in other countries
Marine Trader runs country sites across the UK, Europe, North America, the Gulf and Australasia in 13 languages, so your stock and services can be found by buyers beyond your home market.
How long it takes to get listed
Joining, filling in your contact details and your business details takes around ten minutes on a phone. There is nothing to install and no sales call — you fill in the form, claim your free first year and your page is live.

No. Marine Trader never takes a commission on any sale made through the site.
Selling a boat privately instead?
