BoatersNet

Realized the websites that were appropriate for his boat were either very expensive for an ad that only ran for a few months (nearly impossible to sell a 40 foot sailboat in a few months) or a company that only lists boats for sale by brokers who charge a 10% fee to sell your boat. So he started BoatersNet over 10 years ago for boat owners that own larger and more expensive boats that can get the worldwide audience they need, the boats are listed until sold and the listing fee is a very reasonable amount.

He then started two affiliate companies, YachtsFSBO and Cruisingsailboat.org because that is primarily the type of boats that the BoatersNet group focuses on. A yacht is typically a boat that is 40 feet or over, so BoatersNet allows individuals the opportunity to sell their yacht by themselves and avoid the high charges other companies charge to sell their yachts. People can visit BoatersNet and browse the many yachts for sale by owner and will be able to purchase the boat at a reduced price because the owner does not have to pay the 10% commission. As we like to tell the people that use BoatersNet to sell their boat – ‘if you can show the boat yourself you can sell the boat by yourself and save the 10% commission!’

People that have large sailboats often use them for cruising around the world or their local waters and need a website to list their sailboat for sale by owner and the website needs to be specific to larger boats. When BoatersNet was designed many fields were added that someone searching for a boat may be looking for. For example some people prefer boats that have an aluminum hull and when they visit BoatersNet they can search boats around the world with an aluminum hull. And as always at BoatersNet the fee to list your boat is very reasonable and the ad will run until the boat is sold!

Ads at BoatersNet start at just $5 (charging something greatly decreases the scammers ads) and run until sold! Some of our competitors say ‘free ads’ but they are only free for a short time like 30 days and then are very expensive to have them continue but ours run until your boat is sold.
