I paid $184 to list my boat. I did NOT choose to AUTO RENEW! Where was that option? I DIDN"T CHOOSE TO AUTO RENEW...guess what? I got hit for a 2nd month for $184! They won't respond to my messages. I WANT A REFUND. Garbage

I honestly don't know how they sell any boats... I'm sure they do, just someone tell me how. After I've reached out on 8 or 9 different boats i wanted to buy, NO ONE has ever contacted me back. It's crazy. You fill out the form online that you are interested in, it gets sent out to someone I guess?... You get an email saying congrats for taking the 1st step and reaching out or something like that, then crickets. Nothing. Sometimes there is a marina listed you can go on and research, most times nothing. I've blocked all Boat Trader email. What a waste of time if you're looking to buy or sell a boat. Stupid.

wow! what a joke. The add itself, the cost $97/2 weeks. you have to ask over and over for stats and then its 2 categories. One being how many people viewed the make and model of my boat, not actually my boat. I've put the exact criteria of my boat in a saved search and I get a dozen emails a day for the same boats and never mine. What a racket. Customer service keeps you on hold for ever.

Absolutely the worst customer service. Actually, I don't think they know what customer service means. Can not edit our ad to reduce the boat price and manage pictures. Have tried to contact Boat Trader by phone or email, multiple responses no answer. Save yourself money and time- do not use.

Never got any resposes from BoatTrader other than scam to send money for a report on the boat. They charge a lot with no results. And if you sell your boat somewhere else they will not give you a refund for the remaining time. I think they are a scam.

In listed my sailboat The only contacts I got were three separate scans- send me money or signe up for a boat survey- pay up front- never asked about details re my boat… I tried to edit my info on the listing but couldn’t get on! Now I feel that I have been scammed by boat trader.

Scumbags. Would not cancel our ad after three different emails. Had to contact our CC company
