What this is
Not a marketplace.
Not a dealership.
One person between you
and the right boat.
I don't list every boat. I pick the ones I'd actually consider — then I tell you the truth about them.
Who's this guy
Grew up around boats. Spent 20+ years in branding.
Now I bridge the two.
I grew up around boats — fishing in the Red Sea before I had any business calling it work — and spent the next 20+ years in branding and creative direction across Egypt, the UAE, and Canada.
TheBoatfinder® started as honest reviews on Instagram. It filled a gap, became deals and partnerships, and now sits between content, consultation, and sales — without the bias of a dealer or builder. Today I split my time between Spain, Dubai, and Egypt.
I work for you, not for the builder. If a boat isn't worth your money, you'll hear it from me before anyone else.

Not sure where to
start?
Twelve questions about how you'll actually use the boat. No jargon, no quiz on engines or hull types — just life questions. I come back with three boats that fit, and tell you what to avoid.
