About Boat Hound

Bringing price transparency to the used boat market.

Our Mission

The used boat market is fragmented. Buyers check 10+ broker websites manually, with no way to compare prices, track changes, or see historical data. Brokers price on gut feel because there is no market-wide data. Nobody wins.

Boat Hound solves this by aggregating listings from all major broker sites into a single, continuously updated database. We crawl broker sites daily, deduplicate listings to create canonical boat records, and track every price change, status update, and relisting over time.

The result is market intelligence that did not exist before: a "Rightmove + Bloomberg for boats." Buyers find better deals. Sellers price more accurately. And every day of data we collect makes the platform more valuable.

Product Philosophy

1

Data first, features second

The historical dataset is our moat. Every day of crawling adds depth that a competitor starting later cannot replicate.

2

Open by default

All search and browse functionality is fully public. We never gate content behind login walls. Registration unlocks personalisation, not access.

3

Fair attribution

We always link back to the original broker listing. We are a discovery and intelligence layer, not a replacement for brokers.

How It Works

We monitor dozens of broker websites and marketplaces across the UK and Europe, checking for new listings, price changes, and status updates multiple times a day. Every listing is normalised into a consistent format so you can compare boats across different sources side by side.

When the same boat appears on more than one site, we link the listings together into a single record. This means you can see every price for the same boat in one place, spot discrepancies, and identify the best deal without visiting each broker individually.

Over time, we build a complete history for every boat on the market. Price drops, relistings, status changes, and seasonal trends all become visible. This historical depth is what powers our deal scores, valuations, and market intelligence.

We are continuously expanding our coverage. If you are a broker and would like your listings included, please contact us at hello@boathound.com.
