How the Marketplace Works
From job post to payout in six simple steps.
Post a Job
Describe what your boat needs and publish in under two minutes.
Review Bids & Award
Verified marine pros submit competitive bids. Compare profiles and reviews, then award the job to your chosen contractor.
Sign a Work Contract
A work contract is written for the job. Both you and the contractor review and sign it before any work begins.
Pay Into Escrow
You pay the agreed amount by card. Your money is held securely in escrow — the contractor is not paid yet.
Approve the Work
The contractor completes the job and shares progress photos. You review the work and approve it when you are satisfied.
Contractor Gets Paid
Once you approve, the funds are released from escrow and transferred to the contractor.
Your money is safe until the work is done right
Boational holds every payment in escrow. The contractor gets paid only when you approve the work — so you never risk paying for something that wasn't finished.
1. Pay into escrow
After you sign the work contract, you pay the agreed amount by card. Your money is captured by Boational — not sent to the contractor yet.
2. Review the work
The contractor marks the job complete and shares photos. You review everything while your funds stay safely held.
3. Release when satisfied
Happy with the work? Release the payment and Boational pays the contractor instantly.
4. Dispute protection
Something wrong? Open a dispute before releasing. Your money stays in escrow while an admin resolves it — full or partial refunds available.
