A Better Way to Buy or Sell Your Fishing Boat
There’s something about leaving the bank behind. Whether you’re slipping into a float tube, pushing off in a drift boat, paddling a kayak, or rowing a skiff, fishing from a boat opens up far more territory for your adventure. Those quiet coves on an alpine lake, the mid-river seams that hold feeding trout, the backwater sloughs on the Delta—boats give fly anglers a chance to explore water that waders alone can’t reach.
Yet finding the right boat—or finding a new home for the one sitting in your garage—has often meant scrolling through cluttered classifieds, sifting through irrelevant listings, or risking scams.
Small Craft Sales: A Purpose-Built Marketplace
Enter Small Craft Sales, a new online hub dedicated to small, specialty watercraft. Based in Boulder, Colorado, the platform was created by longtime angler and photographer Tim Romano specifically for boat geeks—drift boat owners, kayak paddlers, packrafters, wooden boat aficionados, and day cruisers—who know exactly what they want.
“Boat geeks know exactly what they want, but unstructured sites can be a mess,” says Romano. “We’re here to connect passionate boaters and simplify the process.”
Unlike general marketplaces like Craigslist or Facebook groups, Small Craft Sales curates a boating-focused community and adds features anglers actually need:
- Filtered, pinpointed search to skip the noise and find the exact craft you’re after.
- Multi-channel promotion of listings via the site, newsletter, and social media to connect serious buyers and sellers nationwide.
- Community resources—safety tips, gear giveaways, and forums—that make buying, selling, and boating a little more fun.
Built With Anglers in Mind
From the California Delta to mountain lakes and rivers across the West, boats expand your fishing horizons. Small Craft Sales was built with anglers in mind, offering a cleaner, safer, and more focused alternative to traditional classifieds. Whether you’re hunting for a drift boat to run the Lower Sacramento, a float tube for alpine lakes, or a kayak to stalk Delta stripers, the site aims to get you on the water faster—with fewer headaches.
