Portland Harbor Leads began with a simple conversation. A friend who was trying to sell their boat shared how frustrating it had been to navigate online advertising. In an effort to avoid using a traditional broker and paying significant commission fees, they attempted to run ads themselves, only to lose hundreds of dollars due to the steep learning curve and lack of a clear strategy.

Coming from a background in social media marketing for the music industry, I offered to help refine the approach. Instead of relying on passive search engine or banner advertising, I built an active, targeted campaign designed to put the listing directly in front of buyers most likely to express interest. Rather than waiting for the right buyer to stumble across the listing, we focused on reaching them intentionally. Within weeks, the boat received multiple offers.

That early success became the proof of concept for Portland Harbor Leads.

Today, Portland Harbor Leads, LLC is an independently owned marketing agency based in Portland, Maine. By combining a personal, hands on approach with modern digital advertising, we help sellers across the country generate qualified buyer leads for sailboats, powerboats, and yachts, delivering real inquiries that lead to real conversations and successful sales.
