§01Listings and marketplace sync

One record. Every portal.

Publish a yacht once and send it to the marketplaces you work with, through feeds, connectors and NAUTIX. You keep a record of what was sent where, and when it last succeeded.

The yacht record behind it

By application · 2027 season

Provider dependent. Each marketplace connection depends on that portal's own API, feed or workflow and on your account with it.

§02Eight back-offices

The price changed on Monday. The portals found out on Friday.

Today

  • Each portal has its own back-office, and every listing is typed in again.
  • A sold or repriced yacht stays live somewhere for weeks.
  • Nobody knows whether a listing is complete until a buyer points it out.
  • Enquiries arrive from a dozen directions.

With Yachtbase

  • The listing is built once from the yacht record and published to each connection.
  • A sync history shows what ran, when, and whether it succeeded, failed or was skipped.
  • A validator checks a listing is complete before it is published.
  • Marketplace enquiries can be forwarded into the inbox and become CRM enquiries.

§03Why it matters

Three things that change.

01

Several routes to a portal

Connect by API, an XML, JSON or CSV feed, email lead forwarding, or a managed manual workflow, depending on what each portal offers.

02

NAUTIX and OpenMarine

Import and export in the yacht industry's XML standard, with validation, conflict resolution and tokenised feeds for partners.

03

A record of every push

Listing publications and sync history show manual, scheduled or webhook runs, and what happened in each.

§04How it fits your day

Three steps, no manual.

  1. Step 1

    Complete the record

    The readiness score and the listing validator show what a portal will need.

  2. Step 2

    Publish to connections

    Choose the portals, map the fields, and publish. Each listing moves through draft, published, paused and closed.

  3. Step 3

    Watch the results

    Check the sync history, and let enquiries come back into the shared inbox.

§05Capabilities

What it does for you.

  • Sale, charter and auction listings

    A yacht can carry several listing contracts, each with its own lifecycle and a freshness state.

  • Field mapping

    Map your record to what each connector expects, with the capabilities each one supports.

  • Tokenised public feeds

    Feeds a partner can pull, in the format and for the listing type you choose, with a token you can regenerate.

  • NAUTIX import

    Upload, validate, resolve conflicts, skip review or retry, so a partner's file does not overwrite your data blindly.

  • Plan-aware connections

    The number of marketplace connections depends on your plan.

  • Lead forwarding

    Marketplace enquiries forwarded by email become enquiries in the CRM, tagged with the source.

§06Who it's for

Every role, its own gain.

§08Questions

Asked and answered.

Which marketplaces can we publish to?

We syndicate to portals including Boats.com, Boot24, Boat Trader, Botentekoop, iNautia, BoatShop24, Annonces du Bateau and Cosas de Barcos. What is possible with each depends on the connection that portal offers, and on your agreement with it.

Is it a live, instant connection?

It depends on the portal. Some work by API, others by feed, email forwarding or a managed manual workflow. We tell you which route applies when we set up each connection.

Can we import yachts from NAUTIX?

Yes. You can upload NAUTIX XML, validate it, resolve conflicts and retry. There is also an OpenMarine adapter.

Will we know if a sync fails?

Yes. The sync history marks each run as running, queued, succeeded, failed or skipped, and a listing's freshness shows as fresh, stale or error.

Do we pay each portal separately?

Yes. Your relationship and any fees with each marketplace are between you and that marketplace. Yachtbase handles the data, not the portal's terms.
