Listed and when buyers tried to contact me they could not-customer service would either go to voice mail or kiss off your request by saying they would have someone contact you--this company is owned/operated (if that's what you call take the money and run) by foreigners out of Miami FL, which is notorious area for scam companies operating out of foreign agencies--need to get this company back to AMERICAN run so we at least have a chance at using it with some type of value to the consumers.

Finger weg von dieser Website! Kein Feedback über Anzahl Interessenten, teuer, automatische Erneuerung des Inserates. Erscheint sehr unseriös.

This website does not provide "Date Listed" information and allow dealers to continue listing inventory that was sold months ago allowing them to attempt bait-and-switch operations.

I sold several boats over the years. Advertise most of them on different platforms like portrayer and lately Facebook. Each ad was boat trader a short lives and expensive. And all this time I’ve never been able to sell one single boat on this platform. Yet I’ve spent Hundreds and hundreds of dollars with each attempt stick with Facebook. It’s free you get more exposure and you sell your boat.

Is not clear how they charge you auto renewal , you write them and they don't answer or answer that your email doesn't exist in their system , don't use this to ad your boat

Do not place an add on Boat Trader. Use FB Market place or a local reseller. Boat Trader did not provide one interested buyer. Additionally, they have an auto renewal fine print that you have to catch, or you will be stuck on auto renewal until you identify the charge.

Do not place an ad in Boat Trader. The only response we received was scammers trying to sell us a hull check. You forward the email to the fraud department, and they acknowledge the email and no further response from them. We should have read reviews before spending $199.00. Then they automatically renewed the ad. They said that when you place the ad it automatic the renewal. There are a lot of websites that are free (Boat US).
