Boatshed Expands its Platform with New Commercial Models, Innovative Technology, and the Boatshed Coalition

Boatshed, a leader in yacht brokerage with over 25 years of experience, has announced ambitious plans to transform its platform into the "Amazon for Boats." Leveraging its extensive data and proven track record, Boatshed aims to revolutionise the boating industry by opening up its platform to third-party brokers, FSBO (For Sale By Owner), and companies selling new boats through the new Boatshed Coalition.

A New Vision for the Boating Industry
Boatshed's vision is to create a comprehensive marketplace that goes beyond its own brokers to include a wider range of sellers. This strategic move is designed to capture a larger share of the market and provide a more diverse selection of boats for buyers. The initiative respects existing exclusive territories held by Boatshed brokers, while also targeting thousands of untapped areas where Boatshed currently has no presence. This expansion will list thousands more boats for sale, fuelling Boatshed’s growth and enhancing its platform.

Introducing the Boatshed Coalition
The Boatshed Coalition enables brokers, sellers, dealers, and boat builders to all operate on the Boatshed platform in a standardised way, much like Amazon. This coalition allows members to continue operating their own websites and sales channels while using Boatshed as an additional powerful tool to expand their reach. Boatshed provides simple rules and a streamlined process, ensuring that all listings meet the same high standards. Independent entities work together within the Boatshed Coalition to sell more boats faster, paying only when the service is successful.

Unique Commission-Only Model
What sets Boatshed apart from traditional marine websites is its unique commission-only model. Unlike platforms such as Yachtworld and Boatshop24, which charge upfront fees for brokers or boat sellers, Boatshed’s model ensures that sellers incur no costs if their boats do not sell. This success-only approach provides a risk-free option for sellers, making Boatshed an attractive alternative in the market.

Innovative Tools and Technology
Boatshed continues to invest in innovative tools and technology to support its platform. Traditional marine websites have seen costs to dealers, brokers, and sellers skyrocket without significant investment in new tools. In contrast, Boatshed has developed comprehensive tools such as data analysis, contracts, and advanced media capabilities including video, VR, and audio, ensuring its platform remains at the forefront of the industry.

Launch of the New Boatshed Photo and Video App
A key part of Boatshed’s strategy is the launch of its new Photo and Video app. This app standardises the approach to photographing every piece of important equipment on a boat, making it possible without specific photo training. This will streamline the photo inventory process, enabling anyone to capture the high-quality photos and videos required for the Boatshed platform. Each photo is specific, ensuring every boat is listed in the same detailed manner. This standardisation is a critical factor in Boatshed’s success, driving traffic and engagement levels on the platform.

A Commitment to Growth and Innovation
Boatshed’s commitment to growth and innovation is evident in its continuous development of tools and expansion of its platform. By opening up its platform to a broader range of sellers through the Boatshed Coalition, Boatshed aims to become the go-to marketplace for boats, much like Amazon has become for retail products. This move is expected to attract thousands of brokers, boat builders, and sellers, significantly increasing the number of boats listed on the platform.

Join the Boatshed Coalition
Boatshed invites brokers, boat builders, and sellers to join its platform and take advantage of the unique opportunities it offers. With its proven track record, innovative technology, and risk-free commission-only model, Boatshed is set to redefine the boat sales industry.
