What you get
No commission, ever
We charge a flat listing fee and nothing else. A broker might take a percentage of the sale — we take none of it.
Enquiries come to you
Buyers message you through the listing and it lands in your inbox. You deal with them directly and arrange the sale yourself.
Up to 100 photos
Boats sell on photos. Show the engine, the wheelhouse, the wear and the paperwork — there is plenty of room.
Buyers who are boaters
Everyone here is looking for a boat or marine gear. No time-wasters from a general classifieds feed.
We will do the work for you

Fishing boats, workboats, yachts, motorboats, RIBs and equipment all in one place.
Being straight with you
We are a new site and we are building our audience. We are not going to pretend otherwise. What we can promise is that listing your equipment costs you nothing, boats cost less here than almost anywhere else, we take no commission, and if you would rather not type it all in yourself, we will load your stock for you. If it does not work for you, you have lost nothing.
