SMALL CRAFT SALES - A New Online Buying and Selling Hub

I like seeing ideas come to life, especially good ones, so when Tim Romano of Flylab reached out a few months ago about a side project he was working on, I've been looking forward to Small Craft Sales come to life.  It's now live and there are quite a few listings on it already for you to check out.

You can read the news release below but the high points are that all listings are free through August 1st and they have a nifty giveaway going just for signing up for the newsletter.  Scroll for the details...
 

From the Small Craft Sales presser...  

Small Craft Sales, a new online hub dedicated to small, specialty watercraft, is taking the headache out of buying and selling boats online. Designed for anglers, rafters, kayakers, wooden boat enthusiasts, and day cruisers, the platform offers a scam-free alternative to cluttered classifieds like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. Sell USED OR NEW boats.

“Boat geeks know exactly what they want, but unstructured sites can be a mess,” said Tim Romano, founder of Small Craft Sales. “We’re here to connect passionate boaters and simplify the process.”

Small Craft Sales offers:

• Filtered, pinpointed search to end mindless scrolling
• Multi-channel promotion of listings via the website, newsletter, and social media
• A curated, boating-focused community for buyers and sellers nationwide

Beyond listings, the site features content to help users stay safer and more capable on the water. Sellers will be automatically entered into monthly prize drawings for gear like coolers, oars, motors electronics, and more.

Businesses aren’t left out, either: Fly shops, tackle shops, marinas, and guides can join our affiliate program to earn extra revenue and reach customers—no more dusty bulletin boards. OR if you’re an outfitter or have a rotating fleet go big with a Whale Account for brand exposure, listing analytics, and bulk uploads.

Launch Offer: All boat listings are FREE through August 1st, 2025 - no strings, no trial gimmicks. Plus, anyone who lists a boat OR simply signs up for our newsletter before then will be automatically entered to win:

• A $500 Sawyer Paddles & Oars gift card
• A YETI Tundra Cooler (45 or 65 model)

Coming Soon…

We’re building more than just classifieds—we’re launching a boat-loving ecosystem. Here’s a sneak peek:

Listing Upgrades: Add your boat to our newsletter, social plugs, and get your listing elevated.

Move-a-Boat Forum: Connect folks who need boats moved with folks who can move ‘em—free and open to all.

Affiliate Program: Earn 50% of listing fees you refer. Guides, shops, bloggers—come get paid.
