With over 110,000 boat listings, YachtWorld has the largest database of brokerage boats for sale offered by yacht brokers manufacturers worldwide. Jessica Muffet, founding publisher, launched YachtWorld as the first online business to promote yacht brokers’ boats to the public on the Internet, and today all the members of the YachtWorld broker network still have access to the most robust suite of online marketing services, including inventory and lead management powered by BoatWizard, the world’s largest multiple listing service (MLS), SoldBoats data, targeted online advertising and marketing solutions services. In March 2000, YachtWorld expanded its offerings to the European market. Ian Atkins opened the first European office in Fareham, England to launch YachtWorld to the European markets and provide dedicated sites for the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, and Australia. The increasing demand of the Scandinavian and Russian audiences brought sites for Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Russia. YachtWorld’s websites are now localized for 13 different countries that reach over 4 million monthly boat shoppers. In 2010, boats.com, YachtWorld and Boat Trader joined forces as the three leading marine websites to form Boats Group (then operated as Dominion Marine Media). In July 2016, Boats Group was acquired by Apax Partners and then by Permira Funds in February 2021.
