One Boat, Several Ways to Show It


Every boat and every seller is different. Some owners want a simple listing and a few calls. Others want their boat in front of as many eyes as possible. Sell-a-Boat.Com has been selling boats online since 1997, and its packages are built around that range, with no contracts, no commissions and no hassle.


This guide explains each option in plain terms so you can choose the one that fits your boat, your timeline and your budget.


The Showing Package, Starting at $29.99


The showing package is the starting point. It starts at $29.99. It suits an owner with a straightforward sale who is comfortable handling calls and showings.


If you are not sure how much exposure your boat needs, this is a reasonable place to begin. A clear listing with good photos and an honest description gives any package a strong foundation.


Social Media Exposure for $49.99


For $49.99, your boat is listed on all of the Sell-a-Boat.Com social media platforms. Sell-a-Boat.Com has accounts on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, which was formerly Twitter, and YouTube, so your boat can be seen by people who browse those channels every day.


This option is a good fit if your boat has strong visual appeal, such as a sleek center console, a family cruiser or a sailboat in a beautiful setting. Photos and short clips travel well on social platforms.


A Featured Boat for $99.99


For $99.99, your boat is featured on the Sell-a-Boat.Com website. A featured boat stands out to the buyers who visit the site looking for their next boat. It is a good choice when you want a sale to move along and you want your boat to get noticed.


This option works well for popular types of boats where there is a lot of competition. Standing out matters most when many similar boats are for sale at once.


A Website Built Just for Your Boat at $999.99 per Month


The top option is a website built and hosted all about your boat, for $999.99 per month. When someone types sellaboat.com, they see only your boat and your contact information. There are no other boats to compare and no distractions, only your boat and how to reach you.


This suits larger, higher value or one of a kind boats, and sellers who want the most dedicated presentation possible. As with every Sell-a-Boat.Com package, it is commission free.


No Commissions on Any Package


Whichever package you choose, you do not pay a commission when your boat sells. The price you agree with your buyer is your sale price. That makes it easier to plan your numbers before you list.


How to Choose


Start with your goals. If you simply want your boat listed, the showing package may be enough. If you want more people to see it, add the social media exposure. If you want your boat to stand out on the website, choose the featured option. If you want a presentation all your own, ask about the dedicated website.


Think about your timeline too. A seller who wants a quick sale may lean toward more exposure. A seller with no deadline may start smaller and move up later if the calls are slow.


Think about your boat as well. A common model in a crowded market often benefits from extra exposure, while a rare or highly specialized boat may only need to be found by the right person. Either way, the goal is to make it easy for that person to reach you.


Make Any Package Work Harder


The best package still depends on a good listing. Take bright, clear photos from many angles, write an honest description, gather your records and price the boat fairly. Answer buyers quickly and keep safety in mind by confirming who you are speaking with and waiting for confirmed funds before the boat leaves the dock.


Keep your contact details current and check your messages often. Buyers move quickly when they find a boat they like, and a fast, friendly reply can be the difference between a showing and a missed opportunity.
