From a question
to a shortlist
to a market scan.
Most boat search tools make you already know what you want. Listings Port lets you start anywhere — with a goal, a budget, or a specific model — and walks you forward from there.
Describe what you're looking for.
Open Research and tell Listings Port what you actually need — in the words you'd use to explain it to a friend.
A stiff, beginner-friendly family cruiser under 35 ft that can handle a Great Lakes crossing.
We match your words against 10,000+ boat writeups and their technical DNA at the same time. You get back boats that were reviewed as good for that use — not just boats whose listings happened to repeat your keywords.

Compare models inline.
Results open in a table view with every spec visible at a glance. Toggle columns to keep only what you care about. Flip between imperial and metric. Open the expert writeup for any boat in a side panel without losing your place.

- CHECKKnown-issues checklist before a viewing trip

The table is the product. Not a hero shot, not a carousel — a row per boat and every number you'd want to see next to it.
Outcome → a narrowed shortlist of 3–8 models
Build your Collection.
As you find contenders, check them off and save them to a Collection — your shortlist of models worth a closer look.
Collections live with your account, so you can leave and come back. Create one per trip, one per stage, or just one "Still interested."
- TRIPContenders for Mediterranean
- STAGEShortlist after viewings
- OPENStill interested
Share a Collection with a partner or a broker when it's time to commit — one link, no login required.
Outcome → a named shortlist, saved for later
Scan listings for the whole Collection.
From any Collection — or any single model — jump straight into the global market. Listings Port pulls current listings from YachtWorld, Boat24, Apollo Duck, Yachtr, and other major marketplaces.
- PRICENormalized to your currency
- LOC.Country, region, city — standardized
- LINKClick through directly to the original broker
- ALERTDaily email when a matching boat hits the market
We don't wrap or intercept the listing — the broker gets the click, the contact, and the sale. We're the map, not the toll booth.
⌁ Ready to try it
Most people start by typing the kind of boat they want.
The tool takes it from there.
Start with a question, a budget, or a specific model. Loop back to any step anytime — the four-phase workflow is a map, not a wizard.
