Tim Romano, the well-known photographer, writer, and editor/founder behind Angling Trade and Flylab, has launched a new venture: Small Craft Sales.
Small Craft Sales is a marketplace for selling anything from float tubes to drift boats, but jet skis aren’t allowed. Romano and his team have spent the past year building this platform, giving any boat enthusiast—fly anglers, whitewater rafter, kayakers—a personalized directory that cuts down on the headache of finding a quality used boat.
“Anglers, whitewater rafters, kayakers, and wooden boat geeks are passionate about their hobbies and know exactly what they want. But finding it through unstructured classified sites can be a headache, and your listing can get lost in the clutter. Plus, these sites make it difficult to find your perfect vessel outside of your local area. Small Craft Sales is here to connect these passionate people and streamline the process of buying and selling small, specialty watercraft,” said Romano.
When you use Small Craft Sales to list your boat, you reach folks who are looking only for a boat. In addition, your listing can be featured both online and in an email newsletter, and on social media.
Small Craft Sales also has the ability to help facilitate delivery of your watercraft throughout the country. So if you find that perfect boat on the opposite coast, they’ll be able to help get it to you.
Small Craft Sales will also be consistently publishing content, including stories, how-tos, gear roundups, and profiles from across the boating world. They want to become not just the go-to classifieds for selling watercraft, but a hub for folks who live to be on the water.
Finally, Small Craft Sales is running a great promotion to celebrate their launch. All listings are currently free through August 1, (prices usually start at $35) and if you make a listing, or subscribe to their newsletter before that same deadline, you’ll be entered to win a $500 gift card to Sawyer Paddles and Oars, and a Yeti Tundra 45 or 65 Cooler (winner’s choice).
