Buying a boat
- Search by country, category, make, price, length, year, hull and fuel.
- Open an advert to see photos, the full specification, the seller's details and any badges.
- Message the seller through the site, ask questions and arrange a viewing and sea trial.
- Read our safety guide before you pay a deposit or travel.
Selling a boat
- Create an account and complete your profile — this is required before advertising.
- Choose the category: motor boat, sailing yacht, RIB, jet ski, engine, trailer and more.
- Add the specification, up to 20 photos, a description, price and location. Your draft saves as you go.
- Verify your ID, then publish — private sellers get their first advert free.
- Manage, edit or mark your boat as sold from your dashboard.
Dealers and marine businesses
- Pick a plan on the pricing page.
- Enter your trade details, associations, qualifications and insurance during sign-up.
- We review those details and add a badge to your profile once checked.
- Your plan includes a directory listing, reviews and included advert credits.
News and events
Anyone can publish boating news or list an event such as a boat show or regatta from the publish page. Subscribers get one free news post, one free event listing and one free job advert each year; otherwise a small one-off fee applies. All posts are moderated before going live.
Payments, refunds and cancellations
Payments are processed by Stripe — we never see your card details. One-off fees are non-refundable once the item is published, except where it could not be published due to a fault on our side. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be cancelled at any time from your dashboard; access continues to the end of the paid period. Full detail is in our terms of service.
Reporting a problem
Every advert has a "Report listing" link. You can also reach us through the contact page — we review every report.
