BoatSearch Grows Rapidly

[SailNet]

BoatSearch, SailNet’s new, free, online listing and marketing service for boat buyers and sellers, is only a month old. But it hit the ground running and is growing at a rapid pace. Whether you are seriously prowling the docks for a new boat or just beginning to think about your next dreamboat, you can find every size and type of vessel, sail and power, at www.BoatSearch.com. Browse through 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Boat buyers and sellers know a good deal when they see one. After only a few weeks of operation, and with very little promotion, BoatSearch has garnered 1,200 boats from 44 states and 24 countries. Lined up bow to stern, all these free listings would measure 7 1/2 miles long and are worth over 150 million dollars.

While we are proud of the healthy rate at which the free listing service is growing, we are even prouder that the clientele using BoatSearch is happy. By using the tips for buyers and sellers, the services for financing, insurance, yacht transport, and documentation, several BoatSearch customers have already closed on their boats and are out sailing. Here’s what one couple had to say:

"Sailnet's assistance and guidance was fantastic! Their comprehensive approach, coupled with their knowledge and experience, provided us with a step-by-step checklist. Their involvement included assisting with setting up the survey, arranging the financing, the insurance, the documentation, coordinating with a yard for the boat prep for transportation, and contacting the trucking firm. All the time, choices and alternatives were provided. Their assistance enabled us to get our boat from the Annapolis area to Wisconsin with little or no hassle. Key to all of this was their rapid response to all our questions and concerns, including a call after delivery to get feedback on the entire process. What makes it more amazing is that these transactions took place while we were in transit from Wisconsin to North Carolina to Annapolis and finally back to Wisconsin. Sailnet spells SERVICE in bold letters. Thanks again,"
