Hi, my name is Charlie Gendron. I’m a sailor first, and I also have the privilege of running this community, SailboatsForSale.com.

We originally started this community about five years ago. Over time, it became inactive due to poor management—something I take full responsibility for. I placed too much trust in a team that didn’t share the same vision or commitment, and the project suffered because of it. Eventually, I made the difficult decision to restart the site from scratch, which meant losing all previous listings and data.

If you had an active listing with us before, please reach out to support@sailboatsforsale.com
with proof of your billing description, and I’ll personally ensure you receive a refund.

I still firmly believe there’s a need for a strong, trustworthy platform where sailors can not only buy and sell boats, but also exchange ideas and connect as a true community. Too many other platforms feel overly commercial and disconnected from what sailors actually need.

That’s why I’m reaching out now: I want to open up an honest dialogue with you. My goal is to learn from this community and build something that truly serves sailors—whether you’re already experienced or just starting out with the dream of becoming one.
