About Boat Trader
Boat Trader was launched in 1996 as the online counterpart to the Boat Trader MagazineTM in circulation across the United States. In 2006, the magazine and website joined forces to offer boat dealers and private party sellers a print and online solution for boat sales. By 2010, with increased market demand for online boat listings, the company focused its efforts on the Internet. Today, Boat Trader is America’s largest online boating marketplace for buying and selling boats, engines and personal watercraft. Its consumer audience, that averages 9 million-strong each month, continues to grow and attract boat dealers and private party sellers across the United States to list their boats for sale.
Owned by Boats Group, Boats Group's brands - Boat Trader, YachtWorld, boats.com, iNautia, Cosas De Barcos, Botentekoop, Annonces du Bateau, Boats and Outboards, and Boatshop24 - are the world’s leading online boating marketplaces, connecting the largest global audience of boat buyers with top sellers and manufacturers. For nearly three decades, Boats Group has helped its industry partners sell more boats faster and provided unmatched support with a comprehensive suite of online business solutions, including proprietary web-based contract management tools, and premier digital marketing strategies and services. Boats Group is owned by the Permira Funds, and is based in Miami, Florida, United States with co-headquarters in Fareham, England, and additional offices in Padova, Italy and Barcelona, Spain.
