Boat brokers

Boat sales software built around
the deal.

Run a working pipeline of new and used boat sales — listings, buyers, sea trials, surveys, offers and co-broker splits — in one platform. Built for the volume and speed of real boat brokerage.

Boat brokers don't run one deal a quarter — they run a book of them. Center consoles, sportfish, pontoons, sailboats and used repower projects, often a dozen or more active listings at once, with buyers cross-shopping vessels and deals closing in days or weeks, not months. A generic sales CRM treats the boat as a note on a contact and leaves the survey, the sea trial, the offer and the commission split scattered across email and spreadsheets. DealDecks is built for asset-linked, high-ticket sales at brokerage volume: every boat, every buyer, every message and every document lives inside the deal it belongs to.

Why DealDecks for boat brokers

Built for brokerage volume, not one-off deals

Boat brokers juggle more listings and faster cycles than yacht brokers. DealDecks gives you a pipeline that holds a dozen-plus active boat sales at a glance — stage, age, expected close and next step on every one.

Boats tracked as assets, linked to the deal

Track each boat as an asset — photos, make, model, year, length, hours, asking price — and link it to active buyers and offers without re-entering data across new and used inventory.

Sea trial, survey & milestone tracking

Add custom milestones to every deal — sea trial complete, survey clean, escrow funded, closing scheduled. Buyers see progress in real time instead of calling you for status.

Co-broker commission splits

Define commission structure per deal — listing/selling broker splits, referral fees, brokerage cut, net payout. DealDecks does the math automatically, even on a busy week of closings.

Co-branded deal rooms for buyers

Share a secure, co-branded portal with each buyer. Boat details, documents and signed offers in one place — protected by one-time email verification, no buyer account needed.

Follow-up automation that keeps deals moving

Inactivity alerts, timed follow-up sequences and stage-change triggers keep prospects warm across a full pipeline — so the deal sitting quiet on the back burner doesn't go cold.

Boat show & in-water lead capture

Generate a QR code for every boat show or in-water event, with per-vessel placard codes so you know exactly which boat sparked each buyer's interest — no paper sign-in sheets to transcribe later.

Looking for an alternative? If you're evaluating Boats Group tools, YachtCloser, or running your sales out of Excel and Outlook, DealDecks gives you a unified deal-first platform without the marine-software bloat — and works for both new and used boat sales.

Frequently asked questions

What software do most boat brokers use?

Most boat brokers still run on Outlook, Excel and a marine closing-forms tool, with a smaller number adapting a generic CRM. Very few use a purpose-built deal-management platform that handles the pipeline, buyer portal, co-broker splits and boat-show lead capture in one place — which is the gap DealDecks fills.

Does DealDecks work for both new and used boat sales?

Yes. Boats are tracked as assets with fully configurable fields, and pipeline stages can be customized per workflow — new-boat sales or listing-side used-boat brokerage. You can run both in the same workspace.

Does it handle co-broker commission splits?

Yes. You can define listing-side and selling-side splits per deal, plus referral fees and brokerage cuts. DealDecks calculates net payout automatically.

Can I share documents and collect signatures from buyers?

Yes. Each deal gets a co-branded deal room with document sharing and e-sign — secured by one-time email verification.

How is this different from yacht broker software?

It's the same deal-first engine, tuned for the boat-brokerage rhythm — higher volume, faster cycles and more new/used inventory. If you broker larger, six- and seven-figure vessels over longer cycles, see our yacht broker software page, which leans into sea trials, surveys and international co-broker deals.

Is there a free trial?
