WhateverFloatsYourBoat.ca provides boaters with a convenient and effective marketplace to buy and sell used boating equipment and boats. If you've been boating long, you probably have a few items kicking around the garage or dock box. And if you've been boating long, you're sure to appreciate the savings of finding quality used marine gear. But until now, there hasn't really been a cost-effective venue to bring sellers and buyers together. Now there is. Best of all, all private party ads are free.
To succeed, we need sellers and buyers. Without you, WhateverFloatsYourBoat.ca won’t float. So we have put considerable thought into how to make this site work for you. But there is always room for improvement, and we are open to ideas. Email your suggestions and comments to Admin@WhateverFloatsYourBoat.ca. If typing isn’t your strong suit, Admin@wfyb.ca also works.
Being a new site, our immediate priority is to build a good inventory of quality items for sale and to generate traffic to WhateverFloatsYourBoat.ca. We're working hard to do just that, and investing in getting the word out to people like you. You can help: word of mouth is the best advertising. Please tell your friends about us.
But first, take a look at these features.
Benefits of Registration
It is necessary to register to advertise on WhateverFloatsYourBoat.ca or to take advantage of our automated features. We ask minimal information, and will not share your personal information with others. See our Privacy Policy.
Once registered, you can immediately take advantage of everything that WhateverFloatsYourBoat.ca offers.
Placing Ads
It’s fast and easy to place your ad. Just click Place an Ad, then follow the prompts. You specify how prospective buyers will contact you – by phone or email. Just like newspaper classifieds, you can remain anonymous until you meet the buyer.
Your boat for sale ads can include up to 10 photographs and as much text as you need. We’ve also created fields to help you describe in full the features and value your boat offers.
For all other categories, you can include 60 words of text and one photograph with your ad. The photo is optional; your ad will still appear prominently in the category you choose with or without a picture.
All ads will appear on-line immediately and will run for 90 days. You can edit or delete your ad any time. We'll send you an email alert when your ad is about to expire. You can renew as often as you like. If you’re running several ads at once, you’ll like My Active Ads, where you can instantly find all your current listings. Or click My Expired Ads to review or instantly renew previous ads.
Browsing on WhateverFloatsYourBoat.ca
Many people like to browse items for sale the same way they window shop. If you find something you like, perhaps you’ll buy it. Perhaps you won’t. For your convenience, we’ve kept the number of categories to a minimum. As our site grows, we’ll refine things and add sub-categories to maintain convenience and manageability.
If you have found an item of interest, but aren't yet ready to contact the seller, simply add the listing to My Favourites for easy reference at a later date.
If you’re looking for a specific item or just the right boat, WhateverFloatsYourBoat.ca offers a full slate of search parameters to help you find it fast. You don’t need to register to search current listings.
But if you’re looking for something hard to find and it’s not currently available on the site, registered users can use our Items Wanted ads or use Ad Filters to describe the item you're looking for. As soon as one is listed for sale, you'll receive an email from WhateverFloatsYourBoat.ca letting you know.
