YachtSales.com

First, there are no boat listings here…yet. This page has been set up to provide a briefing on a future project to develop this site. I am mostly calling the attention of boat / yacht dealerships and brokers.

ABOUT US

Boaters Resource, LLC is the business entity I wholly own since taking over for Don Robertson. My name is Geoff Grainger and I am a SAMS-AMS and IAMI-CMI which is to say I am a marine surveyor, since 2010. My practice (Seaworthy Marine Surveyor and Damage Consulting) is comprised of pre-purchase, Insurance C&V, and damage claim investigation work with some work in cargo claims as well.

In my prior life, I was a diagnostics tech for Harley-Davidson Motor Company. I came to that job through my computer background and education. I had significant stints in marketing and in legal as well, going back to the 90’s.

Boaters Resource owns about 90 domains including YachtSales.com and MarineSurveyor.com. Since taking over for Don in 2022, I have been developing MarineSurveyor.com to be a directory website of credentialed-only marine surveyors (SAMS, NAMS Global, and IIMS members). If you take nothing else from this visit, take a look at MarineSurveyor.com. This year we will complete indexing all the SAMS and NAMS Global surveyors for their credentials and assignment preferences. If you need a surveyor in North America, this is the place to find one. In 2026, or sooner, we will be indexing the IIMS surveyors to provide this resource to Europe, Africa, and Asia as well.

WHAT’S NEXT

I underwrote and led the development of MarineSurveyor.com, a project that is ongoing. I am looking now to develop YachtSales.com.

If you have read this far, you know that there is really one only big player in the boat listing suite arena. They have bought up the significant players and it seems, from here in the cheap seats, others have come with not much more than a listing website. Meanwhile, they have continued to fleece its members with no real competition to keep it honest. It has even spawned Facebook groups which host brokers and brokerages who want to vent and keep asking for someone else to fix it.

This unnamed player has developed a big suite of services for marine brokers and other marine specialists and they have done a pretty good job. I’m looking to build one as good or better with significantly lower costs of membership.

I am looking for investors. This project is big and relatively expensive when compared to MarineSurveyor.com. Investors will have ownership and a voice in the corporation from the development to ongoing business. If you have a legitimate interest in hearing more, I encourage you to contact me directly. Thank you.
