New Listing Overviews

We’ve added Listing Overviews to Boat Detail Pages, giving buyers a quick-glance summary of each listing. Pulled directly from the description, this makes it faster for shoppers to understand the key details without scrolling through the entire page. Early results show this update is already positively impacting lead generation — putting even more buyers in touch with your listings!

New Type Pages

We’ve enhanced our Type Pages and added dedicated pages with rich content to improve SEO and boost discoverability. This update is designed to drive more organic traffic and make it easier for buyers to explore exactly what they’re looking for. Plus, these pages are interlinked with Search Results Pages — putting even more eyes on your listings!

Smarter, More Natural Boat Shopping

We’ve started rolling out Smart Search on desktop and mobile web! Buyers can now find boats using conversational, free-text input — just like on any major search platform. Whether they type “center console under 30 feet” or “family boat with cabin,” Smart Search delivers relevant results. Available on the homepage and Search Results Page, this upgrade makes it easier than ever for buyers to connect with your listings.
