Your Inventory.
In Front of the Buyers
Who Actually Hunt.
Built for the dealerships that run on the waterfowl season. Listed in front of the hunters who buy your boats.
Secure My Spot →Duck Boat Depot has been operating since 2024. We have run Waterfowl magazine ads, posted hundreds of pieces of waterfowl-specific content, and spent two years learning what works in this market. The platform you are looking at (the dealer storefronts, the King Eider tier, the focus on serious hunters only) is what we built based on that learning.
Four reasons King Eider works.
Qualified Audience
Every visitor is a waterfowl hunter. No casual browsers, no bass fishermen. Qualified leads, not coincidences.
Unlimited Listings
One flat annual fee. List two boats or twenty, same price. Your full inventory visible all season.
Dedicated Dealer Page
Your own storefront. Name, inventory, location, and a direct inquiry form.
Pre-Season Campaigns
Targeted flyway-state push August through October. When hunters are ready to commit.
No marketing department? That’s the point.
First 10 memberships at $999.
Founding rate locks for life at renewal. 10 spots. Closes September 1 or when they're gone. Standard rate after: $1,199/yr.
Secure My Spot →One sale clears the year.
The average hunting boat from the major aluminum lineups runs about $22,000. At a 20% margin, that's $4,400 to your dealership. One buyer who finds you here pays for the year. Every buyer after that is margin.
The numbers don’t lie.

Questions dealers ask first.
Five things worth knowing before you commit.
What proof do you have that the audience is real?
We share what we can verify. Today that's our Instagram following, 1,600+ waterfowl hunters at @duckboatdepot, organic growth across two seasons, with audience demographics on request. We're building toward shareable email subscriber data and platform traffic dashboards as the 2026 season approaches. If you want the full audience picture before committing, email de*****@***********ot.com and we'll send what we have on you specifically (flyway, state, dealer category) so you can evaluate the fit.
How does payment work?
Annual fee, billed upfront. Founding members pay $999 once for the first year, charged at signup. Future renewals at $999/yr, locked for life. Cancellation happens at renewal: no mid-year cancels, no prorated refunds. We invoice via Stripe.
Can I see what a dealer storefront looks like before I commit?
Yes. Here's a sample: Flyway Boatworks. It includes your dealership name, address, hero banner, inventory grid with photos and pricing, business hours, a direct message form, and a Founding King Eider Member badge that signals serious to buyers. Hero photo and branding are styled to your dealership's identity.
What happens to my rate after September 1?
If you're one of the 10 founding members, your $999 rate locks for life. As long as you renew, it stays $999/yr: no increases, no clawbacks, even if standard pricing goes up later. After September 1 or once 10 spots fill, new memberships start at $1,199/yr standard. Existing founding members are unaffected.
Can I cancel mid-year if it's not working?
Cancellation happens at renewal, not mid-year. We bill upfront because the year of visibility is the product: flyway-state campaigns, peak-season featured placement, the audit data we share with you, all of it works on an annual cycle, not a monthly one. That said: if your listings aren't generating qualified inquiries by the end of the 2026 season, your renewal is on us. We're betting on this working as much as you are.

We don’t broker. We don’t escrow. We don’t take a commission on the sale. Every dollar of the boat goes to your dealership.
