The Problem

Legacy tools were built before buyers had smartphones.

Most marine dealers are managing inventory in a DMS built in a different era, sending PDFs that go silent the moment they leave your inbox, and manually filling out the same state forms for every closing. Meanwhile, buyers are doing more research online and expecting faster responses than ever. The tools your team relies on were not designed for the way buyers shop today — and the gaps are costing you deals.

📄

"I sent the quote. No idea if they opened it."

Static PDFs and emails give you zero visibility. You cannot see if the buyer looked at it, how many times, or when they went quiet.

📊

"Our cost tracking lives in a spreadsheet."

Floor plan curtailments, service costs, freight, rebates — without a real ledger, every boat you sell is a guess at actual margin.

📋

"We close the deal, then spend an hour filling out forms."

State titles, buyer's orders, registration forms — all the same data, re-entered every time, on every deal.

Platform Features

Everything a modern dealership needs. Built for marine.

One platform for inventory, AI listings, quoting, leads, documents, floor plans, and marketplace syndication — designed specifically for how marine dealers sell.

One home for every boat, engine, and trailer you stock.

Manage your entire sales operaiton from one place, starting with lightning-fast inventory management tools with business intelligence insights.

  • Full change history on every unit
  • Tasks linked directly to each boat record

AI Photo Enhancement

Better photos. No photo studio required.

Built-in AI photo enhancement lets you improve listing imagery directly inside the platform before listings go live, including lighting improvements, background replacement and more.

AI-Powered Listings

Generate gold-standard listings in less time.

Turn your inventory into complete, professional digital listings that can be managed from one place.

Standard Listings Branded, shareable boat presentations with a personalized message, attached quote, and full tracking. See every view, every action, and buyer interest level.

AI Listings An interactive experience powered by our AI sales agent. Buyers ask questions, browse specs, and request pricing through a conversational interface. To unlock pricing, buyers provide their name and contact info — satisfying OEM compliance and handing you a qualified lead with full conversation history.

Quoting Engine

Close more deals, faster, with complete digital quotes assembled in minutes.

  • In-stock boats, engines, trailers, model boats, and custom quotes
  • Pricing pre-populates from inventory
  • MSRP strikeout pricing, dealer options, trade-ins, fees and taxes by state/county
  • Buyers accept or decline digitally — all actions tracked
"40% of buyers who receive a quote buy a boat. Only 15% who request one actually get one."

Lead Board & CRM

See your entire pipeline in one view.

Visual, Trello-style pipeline for every active opportunity. AI leads created automatically from listing engagement. Manual leads added by your team.

  • Track interested boats, activity history, pipeline stage, and confidence level
  • Unified contact timeline: listings, quotes, conversations, notes
  • AI-generated next-best-action suggestion for each buyer

Document Center

Close the paperwork in minutes.

Upload any fillable PDF. The platform maps fields automatically to customer, boat, and dealership data already in the system. Generate a complete, pre-filled closing package in minutes.

  • State and county templates
  • Color-coded field mapping (green = confirmed, yellow = review)
  • Full document history per deal
  • Coming soon: digital signing and payment capture

Costing & Floor Plans

Know the real cost of every boat on your lot.

Running ledger per unit — purchase price, curtailments (auto-calculated), freight, storage, marketing, rebates, and pre-sale service. Each boat shows total investment, outstanding balance, and monthly burn rate.

Promotions

Run incentives without manual updates.

Set title, start/end dates, promotional description text, banner overlay (text + color), and discount amount. Auto-expires. Applied to any unit directly or in bulk from the promotions interface.

Marketplace Syndication

Your inventory, everywhere buyers look.

  • Facebook Marketplace
  • Google Shopping
  • TikTok Ads
  • Reddit Ads
  • Pinterest Ads
  • Major marine marketplaces

Pricing, photos, and sold status propagate automatically. No manual feed management across channels.

Models & Custom Orders

Quote built-to-order boats before they exist.

Model records let you configure all available options for a boat not yet in stock, quote it to buyers with full customization, and convert to an in-stock record when the boat arrives. Ideal for dealerships that sell custom orders.

Reporting & AI Assistant

Ask your data a question. Get an answer.

Inventory counts, age of inventory, and brand performance surfaced automatically. The built-in AI assistant answers natural language questions: "How many Malibu boats do we have?" or "What's our average age of inventory by brand?"

Tasks & Team Collaboration

No follow-up falls through the cracks.

Tasks attached to boats, customers, and deals — visible wherever your team is working. AI-assisted task management surfaces the right next actions based on pipeline activity.

Also from Boatyard

Running a service department too?

Boatyard Sales is the platform that drives boat, trailer, and engine sales. Boatyard Service is the leading marine service platform. Same company, built for the full operation of a marine business. If your dealership has a service department, Boatyard's service platform handles work orders, scheduling, technician management, digital estimates, invoicing, inspections, and real-time shop profitability. The roadmap connects the two: service costs on a unit will flow directly into Boatyard Sales costing for full pre-sale visibility.
