History
Rightboat was founded by Oliver and James Barke in 2006. By 2010, shareholders included key UK marine industry companies such as Ancasta International, Walton Marine, Sunseeker Brokerage, Inwards Marine, Berthon and Marina Developments Ltd.

The business was purchased by Oxygen Marine in February 2015. The entire Rightboat website was redesigned and re-launched into a responsive, mobile-friendly website. Offices also opened in Dubai, California, and Monaco.

In 2015, Nicky Tucker joined Rightboat as Sales and Marketing Director. With over 20 years experience in the marine industry, and having previously run Boatshop24 and Boats and Yachts magazine.

In 2016 Rightboat launched a new service which meant any website could publish their boat inventory. Allowing a partner website to add boats and a new revenue stream to any website. ‘Rightboat Mini’ is a free add-on which automatically tracks visitors to your website and pays the partner website a share of all the pay-per-lead fees generated by buyers enquiring on the boats.

Rightboat opened a new sales and support office in April 2017 at Port Solent Marina to cater to the increasing demand from private and business sellers. Port Solent is based near Portsmouth, UK and offered a prime marina address.

Following the opening of the new sales office, Rightboat officially sponsored the 38th Premier Marinas Used Boat Show, ahead of the Southampton Boat Show.
