How BoatFinder+ data is sourced

BoatFinder+ is a UAE marine marketplace covering yacht and boat rentals, vessel sales, charters, dinner cruises, maintenance, insurance, registration, suppliers and manufacturers across the Emirates.

Where listings come from

Vessel listings are submitted by dealers, brokers, operators and private sellers through the BoatFinder+ listing wizard, or created during onboarding by the BoatFinder+ team from seller-provided information. Directory records for maintenance companies, suppliers, insurance providers, registration providers and manufacturers are compiled from official public company sources and reviewed before publication.

What each status word means

  • Active — currently visible on the platform.
  • Published — passed the platform's editorial and publication criteria.
  • Claimed — the business itself has claimed its profile.
  • Source-verified — an official public company source was checked.
  • BoatFinder+ verified — documents or licence evidence were reviewed and approved by the BoatFinder+ team.

Provenance

Directory records store the public source they were built from and the date the source was captured, where a public source exists. Fields that cannot be traced to the business itself or to an official public source are left empty rather than estimated. When a record cannot be re-confirmed, its provenance is downgraded rather than silently kept.

Corrections

Businesses can claim their profile and request corrections at any time. Anyone can report an inaccuracy through the Support Centre. Confirmed corrections are applied to the record; where a correction changes a factual claim, the record's review date is updated.
