BoatChatHow BoatChat Helps Marine Dealers Turn Website Visitors into Qualified Leads
In the boating industry, timing and trust are everything. When someone’s browsing your inventory, they’re imagining themselves out on the water — but if they can’t get quick answers about availability, pricing, or financing, they’ll drift away to another dealer.
That’s where BoatChat comes in. Live chat isn’t just a customer service tool — it’s a lead-generation engine designed specifically for marine dealerships.
Why Live Chat Matters for Boat Dealers
