Thanks for your feedback. We understand how frustrating it can be when a listing isn’t getting the level of interest you expected. Our team recently worked with you on optimizing the listing, including reordering photos and discussing adding video content to help improve visibility and engagement. If you need any additional assistance with your listing or have questions about best practices, please don’t hesitate to reach back out to our team.

Hi Kris — we’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with your experience. We did notice your listing included direct dealership contact information and an external website, which may have led potential buyers to contact you outside of the Boat Trader messaging system. That can sometimes make it difficult to accurately track inquiries or engagement through the platform itself. If you have any other questions or need assitance please feel free to reach out.

Hi Patrick, the email you received congratulating you on the sale of your boat, was an error. Your listing is still active. We’re sorry for the confusion and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Thank you for using Boat Trader.

Hi Phil, thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your frustrations and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We want to be clear that Boat Trader does not generate fake inquiries. We also take scam activity very seriously and are constantly working to improve protections for buyers and sellers within our marketplace, including identifying and flagging suspicious activity when detected, as you mentioned. Sellers are always free to renew or not renew their listings, and auto-renewal can be turned off directly from your account. While brokers may reach out through the marketplace, sellers are under no obligation to work with them. Our goal is always to help sellers have the best possible experience and successfully sell their boat. If you’d like to discuss your experience further, please feel free to reach out, we’d be happy to assist.

Hi William, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it can be when the site performance and search results aren’t meeting expectations. We’re actively working to improve both platform reliability and the precision of our filters so it’s easier to find the right boats without having to sort through irrelevant listings. We’ve also introduced an enhanced search experience that allows you to type in more natural descriptions (for example, the kind of boat, features, or style you’re looking for) to help surface more tailored results. We’ve reached out to you directly via Trustpilot to gather a bit more detail. If you’re open to it, we’d be happy to help troubleshoot and guide you on how to get more refined results — or even send you search options based on what you’re looking for. We appreciate you taking the time to share this and hope we can help improve your experience.
