Boats by owners, for buyers. No agents allowed.
YachtBazar exists because of one number: a broker's cut on a $500,000 boat is roughly $50,000 — for making a listing and forwarding some emails.
We think the person who sailed the boat, fixed the boat and priced the boat should be the one you talk to — and the one who keeps the money. So we built the marketplace brokers wouldn't: every listing is for sale by its owner, listing is free, and we never touch the transaction or take a commission. Not 10%, not 1%. Nothing.
Brokers and agents put themselves between you and the person who actually knows the boat — and take a cut for it. YachtBazar cuts out the middleman: you deal with the one person who's sailed it, fixed it and priced it.

One search covers by-owner listings from four sources — Craigslist's by-owner boat sections, SailBoatListings, BoatsForSaleByOwners and Facebook Marketplace — across 23 major boating markets, plus boats owners post here directly. The catalog re-checks sources automatically several times a day.
Listings with a "Direct contact" badge have the owner's phone or email right on the page — one tap to call. Every listing also has a public Questions & Answers thread where owners reply with a verified badge, so the answers help the next buyer too.
The Community is where boaters trade real knowledge — buying checklists, slip prices, repair help, gear debates. Click any member's name to see their active listings. Free account, no brokers allowed.
Save a search and get an email the moment a matching boat is listed. Heart boats to keep them on your Saved page. Sellers get a dashboard with live view, save and contact counts — feedback Craigslist never gives you.
Every listing has flag buttons — scam, broker-in-disguise, already sold. Flagged listings are reviewed and repeat offenders are banned. We don't verify sellers (nobody's in the middle — that's the point), so always view the boat in person, survey anything significant, and never wire money. Our full safety guide.
If you own it, post it free with photos, your price and your contact info — buyers reach you directly and you keep every dollar. If you're a broker, dealer or agent: this site is not for you, and your listings will be removed.
Questions, feedback, press — or a listing takedown request if you're an owner who wants a listing removed (we act on those promptly).
Every boat, by owner, one search — and not a broker in sight.
