About Us
Welcome to the European 'face' of Boats.com - the boating community's only comprehensive online marketplace. Established in the United States in 1999, Boats.com is launching into Europe - bringing opportunity and information to boaters across the continent.
In partnership with the boating industry, Boats.com is building and maintaining the worldwide marine marketplace. Boats.com already enables its U.S. partners - boat users, manufacturers, brokers, dealers, marinas, boatyards, and other marine service businesses - to participate in a thriving online community and state-of-the-art e-commerce channel. Now, that same opportunity is also available in Europe.
By enhancing the consumer's boating experience and helping to increase the industry's effectiveness, Boats.com opens up new commercial opportunities for the industry and helps to grow the sport of boating.
This breakthrough channel to communicate to boat, engine and equipment buyers worldwide was launched in Europe on September 14th 2001 at the Southampton Boat Show. For the first time, the marine industry is able to instantly communicate with its consumers and partners through one online business resource. Boats.com brings the world to your Web site.
A division of Boats.com, YachtWorld.com is the most-visited marine site on the Internet and a trusted partner to the yacht brokerage community. YachtWorld.com pioneered the use of the Internet as a channel for buying and selling brokerage-listed boats. YachtWorld.com launched in Europe in July 2000, today lists the boats and services of over 300 European brokers.
Exclusively endorsed by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and the Marine Retailers Association of America, Boats.com represents a partnership between the marine industry and the Internet. The Boats.com management team is made up of boating and Web/Internet business veterans, whose depth and breadth of experience has enabled it to build strong, strategic partnerships - online and onshore. Founded in 1999, Boats.com is a private, venture capital funded business with offices in Chicago, Seattle, Vancouver, and Portsmouth, England.
