The Story
It started on the water, long before
it was a business.
"Buying a boat is one of the most personal decisions a person makes. Most buyers go into it with brochures, opinions, and guesswork. I wanted to change that."
I grew up around boats in Egypt — first as a passenger, then an owner, and eventually the person friends would call before making a decision.
Before that, I was on the water early. My father took me fishing in the Red Sea when I was two. Long days, big fish, and a lot of time just reading the sea. It stays with you.
Fishing became more than a hobby. I later joined the Fish Hunters — a professional angling team in Egypt — and went on to win multiple national tournaments.
Years in branding and working with marine clients gave me a different view of the market — how boats are positioned, how they're sold, and where things don't always add up.
In 2025, I started reviewing boats on camera — from the buyer's side, in plain language, covering the things brochures don't.
Today, it sits between content, advice, and transactions — without compromising any of them.
"I don't list everything I come across. Most boats don't make it through. If it's here, it's been looked at properly — and I'd stand behind it for someone close to me."
Based in Barcelona, working across Egypt and the UAE, I stay close to both sides of the market — the boats, and the people around them.
Whether it's your first boat or your fifth, the process should feel clear — not overwhelming. That's the whole point of this platform.
The Platform
What isTheBoatfinder®
Between you & the right boat
TheBoatfinder® is an independent platform that helps buyers and sellers navigate the boat market more clearly.
For buyers, it offers unbiased guidance, real walkthroughs, and access to selected opportunities — including stock and lightly used boats that aren't always visible. The goal is simple: help you understand, avoid mistakes, and make better decisions. My advice costs you nothing — I'm paid by the transaction side, and only when a deal actually happens. Which means the only way this works long-term is if buyers keep trusting the guidance.
For dealers and manufacturers, it creates direct access to serious buyers — through content, positioning, and real conversations that lead to actual demand. Commission is only paid when a deal is made.
"It sits between content, advice, and transactions — without the bias of any one of them."

There is interest.

There is no bridge.

Dealers
