Advertising guidelines

We keep the board clean and trustworthy, so ads are reviewed before they go live. Please follow these specs and rules — it keeps approval fast.

Content rules

• Ads must be relevant to the recreational marine industry or its workforce (e.g. manufacturers, suppliers, tools, training, certification, insurance, recruitment).
• No misleading claims, fake “system” or download buttons, or content designed to look like site navigation.
• No adult, gambling, political, or discriminatory content, and nothing unlawful.
• No competing general job boards or scraped BoatyardJobs listings.
• The destination URL must work, be safe, and match the advertised offer.
• We review every new or changed banner before it appears, and may decline or remove an ad that doesn't fit. If we decline a paid ad we'll refund the unused portion.

Billing

Choose monthly (auto-renewing, cancel anytime) or a fixed 1/3/6-month term. Recurring ads keep running with the same approved banner until you cancel; changing the banner sends the new version for a quick re-review. Manage everything from your advertiser dashboard.
