Total waste of money to advertise on this site. Anyone that “inquired” never followed up with any further communication. Don’t waste your time and money. Post on Facebook for free.

I've had my boat On the Boat Trader for about 5 months now. Costing me about $500. The problem was. I received emails as notification. Of people who were interested in my boat when I respond to these emails only about 10% over that 5 month period returned my response. I don't know if it was because people just aren't interested and they're just fishing. Or if there was a technical difficulty with the boat trader communication process across the board. When I canceled my account this morning and talked to a customer representative and I got no prorated refund with 2 weeks left and there was no interest in what I had to say about technical issues possibly in the communication process with the sale of my boat. I'm not happy about this and I wish that boat trader would refund me some of the money I invested in their company to do a job that was not completed properly. A complete lack of integrity. I have also had reflection with other clients of boat trader who were not happy with their business also. Read 1 star ratings list below. There's also a lot of scam on boat trader to try and get you to give them money or to open an account for the person trying to buy your boat. I will not use boat trader again. And I recommend the same for everybody else out there. I can't believe all the poor reviews of Boat Trader on Trust Pilot. I would have never been ripped off by them had I gone on Trust Pilot in the beginning. From now on TP to read reviews. Sold boat on Offer Up. Signed,,, unhappy boat seller

I spent $170 for a 6 week listing due prime boating season (priced well below value to try to sell) and all I received was spam "pay $70 for a hull report and I will come look at it" which is a known scam. Not a single legitimate lead. I had way more leads from FB marketplace. Then they send you an email that your listing (and fee) will auto-renew and there is no way to stop that other than canceling your listing before it expires. I paid for 6 weeks, I should get the full 6 weeks without being forced to pay for another 6 weeks.

While Boat Trader had a great reputation…my recent experience has not been good. I have only had two potential buyers. Both wanted me to provide a thehincheck.us report. That company has very poor reviews. I offered to provide a Boat History Report. I think both potential buyers were connected to thehincheck.us and they were to profit from selling their service. Don’t fall for their sales pitch. Don’t fall for the line “I will reimburse you for the fee once I buy the boat”. Almost month a month of advertising and all I got were two scammers or one scammer using two fake names.

I've only been contacted by scammers. I paid to have it on Boat Trader and another site, but they forgot to put it on the other site. When I called, they fixed it and extended my time, but I want to sell my boat now, not when they feel like doing their job. Extremely disappointed with them especially for what they charge to post your boat.

This is a scam site. When you sign up they turn on auto-renewal AUTOMATICALLY. It can only be cancelled by phone call to them, but they never answer the phone or permit you to leave a voice mail. They just cut you off at precisely 12 minutes of waiting.

I would give it zero stars if I could. Total waste of money. Use Facebook marketplace instead!

I posted my boat on boat traders.com. It was the worst decision $200 was a waste of money. It was purchased off of Facebook marketplace within 15 days there were no customer support with boattraders.com they had the wrong information don’t use them. It’s a waste of money. terrance Stroman, 2012, hurricane 189
