About BoatFinder+

BoatFinder+ is a UAE-based marine marketplace headquartered in Dubai. The platform aggregates hundreds of listings for new and pre-owned vessels, charter rentals, and curated water experiences from verified dealers, brokers, manufacturers, and private sellers across all seven Emirates.

The marketplace is used by dealers, manufacturers, and private owners across the UAE, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Ras Al Khaimah. It supports 18 boat categories — from jet skis and day boats to superyachts and commercial vessels — with a bilingual English / Arabic interface and AED pricing inclusive of 5% UAE VAT.

What the platform offers

The marketplace is structured around three primary verticals: boat sales(yachts, superyachts, day boats, jet skis, and commercial vessels), rentals and charters (hourly, daily, and term-based bookings), and experiences (cruises, fishing trips, and group departures). Each listing is moderated and assigned a quality score based on completeness of specifications, photographs, and seller credentials.

Verification

BoatFinder+ operates a two-tier verification model. Verified Seller badges confirm that a dealer's identity, trade licence, and contact details have been reviewed. The TruCheck™ badge is applied separately to individual vessels that have been physically inspected by an accredited marine surveyor.

Coverage

Inventory and bookings are available across all seven Emirates, with the largest concentrations in Dubai (Dubai Marina, Port Rashid, Jumeirah), Abu Dhabi (Yas Marina, Zayed Port), and Ras Al Khaimah. The interface supports English and Arabic, with prices quoted in AED inclusive of 5% UAE VAT where applicable.

Operating model

The platform is free to browse for buyers. Sellers may publish a free standard listing or upgrade to Featured (AED 499) or Premium (AED 1,299) packages for additional placement. A 2% closing commission applies on completed sales facilitated through the platform. Charter and experience bookings carry a transparent 15% platform fee paid by the operator.
