Very happy with the Boat sales platform. It only took us a little less than one week for our boat to be sold to a genuine buyer. Boat sales platform is easy to navigate and is easy to communicate with interested buyers. Highly recommended Show reply

It was a great way to get the right person to purchase our boat for great price and really easy to use platform too. So grateful to God for blessing us with boat sales platform. I will refer them to anyone I know wanting to sell their boat. Praying blessings favor and protection over boat sales in Jesus name and God bless to everyone who uses it too. Abundant blessings Kendall : ) Show reply

This is a dud site, took 4 days after taking my money before listing, then listed under brand rather than type of boat in this case house boat and I paid the extra for "featured", save your money and look at other options,

Very Poor – It clearly has lost the ability to return meaningful results for our searches. I am looking for Sailing boats and it shows pages of advertisements from Quintrex. They are not sailing boats, just their flagship fishing aluminium trailer motorboats.

The enquiries that come are more genuine and serious – Less enquiries come from boatsales but the enquiries that come are more genuine and serious. I advertised in facebook and gumtree but in the end boatsales produced the person that concluded the deal. Show reply

sucess! – I found Boat sales to be effective in reaching the market place for a qualified buyer - securely - by providing the ability to communicate with potential buyers via the on line platform enabling me as the seller to vet any enquiry prior to meeting them.

Over 11 yrs of bad reviews and here is another one. How can this still be a thing? The extortion for an ad that gives you absolutely no potential buyers is unbelievable. It should be commissioned based if the boat is sold. I should have done my due diligence prior to paying so here I am warning others not to use this site. FB marketplace and gumtree have better results.

Boatsales.com rubbish customer service – Platform is easy to use but their call centre is never open despite the website saying it is. Difficult to contact and slow to reply via email. Also the adds are bit expensive for what you get.

Not worth the cost :( – The site was ok to list on. But not worth the money. However I got ZERO enquiries after a week. Facebook marketplace I had serious buyers coming from the moment I listed it and I sold it on there within 3 days of listing.

Extremely overpriced and useless – Save your money and just use FB Marketplace or Gumtree. I spent $180 to advertise my boat, not a single enquiry in 2 weeks. My (FREE) FB Marketplace and Gumtree ads had heaps of enquiries and after 2 weeks sold for asking price via the FB ad. Same thing happened last time I sold a car using carsales. People use the free sites to look just as much. This mob are extremely overpriced for the useless service they offer.

Stick with the best in the business! – I tried Facebook Marketplace on the recommendation of a friend and found it to be a horrible experience - I deleted the ad and put the boat Boatsales.com.au, had three genuine enquiries in the first 48 hours and sold it today. A great result - thanks!!

Be patient and get good results – The only reason is that the buyer has a lot of sales to go through and this takes time and as you know there are a lot of scammers or just nuisence lookers. However if they leave their phone number, I call them to ensure a honest buyer. This worked for me with a good sale and nice buyers.

A great match for seller and buyer - Thanks boatsales! – The add generated a fantastic response, we sold at the highest version of "Market Value" we could determine, well over our committee's "reserve price". At the same time, the buyer had been searching for a boat like this with this fit out and history for 12 months and they are delighted - boatsales matched up a willing buyer and willing seller perfectly and the process was so easy and efficient. Show reply

Boat Sale – I had the boat advertised for a few weeks and had received a few inquiries that lead to nowhere, then I had one inquiry from a serious buyer and it sold a few days ago. Show reply

Total Rubbish – I have an older boat and have listed it twice now for $7000 (so listing cost is free). Both times I had a good response but couldn’t understand why nobody followed up after I responded to their questions. Turns out that nobody got my responses. All messages were flagged as not read. Total rubbish.

Very quick sale – Many deep searches and a very prompt location of a true buyer within three weeks. I would definitely use this site again. Easy setup and editing and high volume traffic. Show reply

Sold a Boat – fairly simple to use, probably the easiest way to go about selling a boat or car. Easy enough to setup and edit your ad, would definitely use Boatsales again in the future. Show reply

Boatsales.com – Very easy site to use. Sold my boat as expected. Note don't advertise a boat over winter unless you want it sold for a huge discount. Advertise in mid spring and boat will be sold during summer. A tad price in my opinion, but you will get your boat sold. Show reply

Easy platform to use and secure – Easy to set up ad. Easy to manage messages. Secure details. I found the more serious buyers were from this ad rather than other ads from other platforms

Expensive way to sell a boat in a sellers market – I listed my Riviera on the Boatsales site. Noticed later a charge of $700+ to my credit card for the premium ad service. This is outrageous, and was not clearly spelled out when I placed the ad. Based on the responses, I could have sold the boat anywhere. There were people looking for exactly what I had.
