While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

First Class Company

Have been advertising with Apollo Duck for 20 plus years, thoroughly professional and helpful company. I would say the No 1 portal for selling your boat in the UK.

I have contacted this company by email…

I have contacted this company by email and phone and received a pointless response to the email and no response to the phone call . I used to believe this site was a market leader when selling boats but it is more useless than Facebook- I would not recommend it

The worst there is.

Searching for a boat online,,,, hundreds of searches lead you to Apollo Duck,,, then nothing or boat advert years out of date or boat sold…
Deliberately bypass this website.

I've used Apollo Duck a number of times…

I've used Apollo Duck a number of times and received good interest leading to a sale.
Entering the boat details on the site is a bit laborious but easier if you prepare the photos and text in advance.
I will definitely use their services again for both purchase and sale.

This business seems to be run by people…

This business seems to be run by people who in my opinion should not be running a business. I have written to the directors about being told by a representaive that I upset someone when I asked for more details. This is untrue and I also recieved an unwarented and threatening message. This business seems to hide behind an almost invisible cloak and it seems impossible to get any normal commercial sense from them, they do not operate in a conventional manner. Their accounts filed do not reflect a going concern at companies house. there is no other company name listed on their website that reflects their business sales. They seem to do and say what they want without any recourse. The directors have not made any progress in challenging this behaviour. I believe that this company should be struck off the companies register. The UK does not need businesses working in this manner, I have run six different businesses, I understand all the issues.

I contacted Apollo Duck customer…

I contacted Apollo Duck customer service because I could not access my account or listing. the person that I spoke with just said that the account was locked and there was no reason. She suggested to just start over with a new ad. Not sure if I would trust them with a listing that I was paying for? Has this happened to you?

Someone else’s boat comes up

Our broker advertised our boat on here. The Apollo Duck advert works fine, but if you google search our boat, Apollo duck comes up but with someone else’s boat. It is not until you click on their boat, that our boat comes up. Apparently this kind of overlap is not uncommon on Apollo Duck. Very disappointing!

Reply from Apollo Duck

The service that we offer and provide to your broker is placement on Apollo Duck. While we can optimise the keywords and performance of your advert to maximise its potential for discovery on search engines, ultimately what is returned in their results is outwith our control.

Particularly in the case of branded boats from popular manufacturers, it is entirely normal for there to be many boats of the same make and model in our listings. Which particular listing gets picked up on a search engine by any particular combination of keywords is ultimately down to the keywords employed by the end user, and the quality of the data entered by the advertiser.
