The ad creation process was relatively easy. The pre built boat brands and types were helpful. The creation process should focus on the main description. The additional info for propulsion and other features are great but I don't think most buyers see them. The metrics were very helpful. The messaging portion of the site was great and made communication easier and safe. One feature to think about adding is the ability to indicate a sales status such as pending continue to show, contract pending or something to show selling status

BT did a great job of posting my boat on several websites and ensure I received maximum exposure. I enjoyed receiving the weekly updates on my post’s impressions, views and saves.

Adrianna
If it wasn't for Ms. Adrianna, I wouldn't of listed my boat with you! I had no patience that day and was going to forget about it. Ms. Adrianna was my patience that day, she made it happen, not me, I'm very blessed she was working. Belinda Adair

I paid $169 and the only inquiry I got was a scam. Your site is for high end boat buyers. You should have a rare srructure based on the sale price if the boat, or just don't accept ads for cheap boats. It was a complete waste of money.
Response from Boat TraderJun 16, 2026
Eric, we understand how frustrating it can be to receive a suspicious inquiry instead of a genuine lead. Our team works continuously to identify and remove fraudulent activity, and we encourage users to report suspicious messages so we can investigate them. Boat Trader serves buyers and sellers across a wide range of boat types and price points, from smaller fishing boats and pontoons to larger yachts. If you have any questions, our team is always here to help.

Scam site
Scam site. You pay money to post your boat and the only leads you get are from false buyers who want you to pay more money for marine reports. Don't pay for this scam site.
Response from Boat TraderJun 15, 2026
We're sorry to hear about your experience. Unfortunately, scam attempts are something that can affect nearly any online marketplace, and one of the more common tactics we see involves requests for sellers to purchase marine history or vessel reports from unfamiliar third-party websites. We always advise sellers not to send money or purchase reports requested by prospective buyers. Our team actively monitors for fraudulent activity and continuously works to improve the safeguards we have in place to prevent suspicious messages from reaching our users. If you encounter a message that appears suspicious, we encourage you to report it to [email protected] so our team can investigate. We appreciate your feedback and remain committed to helping create a safer boat buying and selling experience for our community.
