Yes. You can upgrade your listing at any time to a higher plan. When you upgrade, your listing will immediately receive the additional visibility and features included in the new plan.
Free listings remain active for 30 days and do not auto-renew. Before expiration, you’ll receive a reminder and can choose to upgrade to a paid plan if you’d like to keep your listing active.
Yes. All paid plans (Dock, Harbor, and Coastal) will auto-renew at the end of the listing period so your boat stays visible to buyers without interruption. You will receive reminder notifications before renewal, and you can cancel auto-renew at any time.
Yes. If your listing expires, you can reactivate it by purchasing a new listing plan. Your original listing details and photos can usually be reused, making it easy to relaunch.
Downgrades are not available once a listing plan has been purchased. However, when your listing period ends, you’re free to select any plan level when renewing.
Great news—congratulations! If your boat sells before your listing period ends, you can mark the listing as Sold at any time from your dashboard.
While listings can be closed early, listing fees are not refundable once the listing has been published. The listing period simply runs for the duration of the plan you selected.
Add-ons provide immediate promotional visibility and are non-refundable once activated.
No marketplace can guarantee a sale. Paid plans simply increase your boat’s visibility and help ensure it reaches more serious buyers within the WalkTheDock community.
WalkTheDock is built and operated by cruisers and liveaboards who believe boat transactions should start with real conversations and quality listings—not the noise found on large social platforms. Listing fees help support the platform and help keep the marketplace focused on serious buyers and sellers.
Every boat sale is different, and timing depends on several factors such as price, condition, location, and the current demand for that type of vessel. Some boats attract interest quickly and sell within weeks, while others may take several months to find the right buyer.
WalkTheDock is designed to connect serious buyers with informed sellers, which helps create more meaningful conversations than large social platforms. A well-priced boat with clear photos and a detailed listing will typically generate interest faster and improve the chances of a successful sale.
