Growing Market – The global recreational boating industry is expected to hit $23.6B by 2027, growing about 6% a year.
All Eyes On Board – Boatim has a media distribution deal with New to The Street TV that will put them in front of viewers of Fox News, Bloomberg, Fox Business Network, CNN, CNBC, Newsmax, and other networks repeatedly over the next 12 months, along with digital billboards in New York City. In other words, ideal boat owners.
Have Boat, Will Travel – Boatim serves over 20,000 boating businesses. Its International Marketplace includes hard-to-find marinas and service providers, giving boaters direct access to the information, services, and goods they need, in one easy to navigate site, with over $1 billion in boat and yacht inventory.
Life is Better on the Water
That’s the philosophy behind the company that is revolutionizing the world of boats and yachts. With their much anticipated mobile app launching soon, Boatim Inc. (OTC: BTIM) is already making a huge splash in the way people buy and sell boats online.
But their ambitions go far beyond that, aiming to become the online source for “everything boat, for everything boating.” This all comes down to connecting people around this rapidly growing and high dollar hobby, and Boatim has the data, the technology, and the social media power to make it happen.
Rapidly growing market
Already valued at $16.4 billion in 2021, the global recreational boating industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2%, surpassing $23.6 billion by 2027.
High dollar hobby
While accessible to almost anyone at the lower end of the market, boating is known as an expensive hobby, with some super high end yachts selling for well over $1 billion. Spending tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars on the right boat is common, and people are happy to pay the cost of getting out on the water.
Inefficient legacy marketplace ripe for disruption
Before Boatim’s marketplace, boat buyers were forced to rely on various old fashioned, conventional marketplaces, including classified ads, specialty magazines, and dealers who might not be giving them all the information they need. Boatim removes these barriers and connects boat buyers and sellers directly, from anywhere in the world.
The power of community
Far from just a marketplace, Boatim aims to become everything boat for everything boating. From information to community and connection, Boatim is primed to become a top source for boat and yacht enthusiasts worldwide.
Connecting boating enthusiasts at every level
The most expensive boat currently listed on Boatim is priced at $34 million, but they also have motor boats and sailboats listed in the price range for every segment of the market. Even new aspiring boaters who have yet to make their first purchase will find an increasing selection of information, community, and resources to help them take the first steps into this exhilarating hobby. The company now has over $1 billion worth of inventory listed.
International television exposure
Boatim recently announced an agreement with New To The Street TV to feature CEO Joseph Johnson on a 12 part interview series, 480 commercials over 12 months, airing 40 commercials per month across the show’s domestic and international syndications on Fox News, Bloomberg, Fox Business Network, CNN, CNBC, Newsmax, and other networks, and digital billboard ads appearing 6 times per hour on over 50 digital boards throughout the Greater New York City area. This all means huge exposure for Boatim, more customers, and big returns for investors.
How do You Buy a $34 Million Yacht?
Until very recently, that wasn’t such an easy question to answer. Sure, you could make it happen, but you often had to know the right people, make the right connections, and go through one or more third parties to track down exactly what you’re looking for.
For those of us with slightly lower boating budgets, the situation wasn’t much better. You might be stuck with a big box retailer, or resorting to the dark ages of arranging a meetup with an unknown stranger from Craigslist and hoping for the best.
Boatim Inc. saw the state of the boating market and decided to do something about it. Starting as a platform to connect buyers and sellers of boats worldwide, they are quickly evolving into a top knotch platform for everything boating online.
Still interested in that yacht? You can find quite a selection of them on Boatim’s marketplace, no matter where you are in the world. And if you’re looking for something a bit more practical, Boatim, with over $1 billion in inventory currently listed, is still your place. Even if you’re interested in joining the world of boating but aren’t sure where to begin, Boatim aims to be your go to hub to connect with other enthusiasts, educate yourself about your options, and when you’re ready, take the plunge into the exciting world of boat ownership.
While there are other options out there for prospective boat buyers at every level of the market, Boatim’s vision, Everything Boat, is to be the most trusted digital resource for buyers, sellers, professionals, and enthusiasts in the boating world.
Previously a web only experience, their innovative mobile app just launched on IOS, putting your next boat, and all the information you need to make your decision, right in the palm of your hand.
Poised to Make a Big Splash
What does this mean for investors?
Attention.
Like it or not, people spend more time looking at their phones than ever before, and that includes boat enthusiasts. As much as they may say they go out on the water to get away from it all, they spend most of their time glued to their devices.
With their new mobile app, Boatim is right there with them, and that can only mean growth.
But the mobile app isn’t Boatim’s only strategy to capture the attention of an increasing number of boat buyers and sellers. They recently signed a deal with New to The Street to produce a series of interviews and commercials that will air across major networks for the next year. The deal also includes digital billboard ads appearing 6 times per hour on over 50 digital boards throughout the Greater New York City area. These prime placements are expected to increase Boatim’s exposure and grow recognition significantly.
More attention is good, yes. But attention from exactly the type of people who are interested in boating and who can afford to take the plunge into this exciting hobby is what we’re after. Boatim’s popularity and listings have already been growing, and we think this new wave of attention and publicity will really take their marketplace, and their community to the next level.
An Important Advantage
Even with everything we’ve discussed so far, you might be asking yourself, “what makes Boatim different.” We hit on this earlier when we discussed the hassle of buying or selling on marketplaces like Craistslist.
Trust.
Boatim’s technology platform aims to not only connect boating enthusiasts, but provide an environment where they can communicate and transact with a feeling of safety no other platform provides.
Boatim’s transparent market lets them see the prices of similar boats worldwide, increasing confidence that they’re getting a good deal. Their technology platform helps facilitate not only connections, but also financial transactions in a trusted environment built specifically for boaters.
Boatim also recently announced a new tool to connect boaters directly with marinas. Customers can now see which boats are for sale in each registered marina, with over 2000 marinas registered so far.
Marinas can also use Boatim to communicate directly with vendors, tenants, and boaters. They can list available services, retail space, boat slips and more, allowing them to increase revenue without the costs associated with traditional promotional methods
The digital era of boating is here, and Boatim is leading the way.
A Booming Market
As we mentioned earlier the recreational boating market was valued at $16.4 billion in 2021, and is expected to reach $23.6 billion by 2027. As the marketplace connecting an increasing share of buyers and sellers, Boatim is very well positioned to benefit from every transaction that goes across their platform.
On top of this, the boating market spans every price range, from very affordable to billion dollar super yachts. While some of the very high end transactions may take place elsewhere, Boatim currently has many listings well over a million dollars, along with affordable boats for the common man. The site now boasts over $1 billion in total listed inventory.
Life Really is Better on the Water
This is the philosophy behind Boatim, but it’s also a fact that anyone who has been out on a boat has likely experienced. There’s something unique about being out on the water, whether it’s a lake or ocean.
For many people, once they’ve experienced it, they want more. This drives not only their initial boat purchase, but every upgrade and additional boat they buy from there. Boatim plans to be the go-to source for every purchase and upgrade in their customer’s boating lifetime.
And what happens when it’s time for an upgrade? Usually this means putting the old boat up for sale. Boatim is there for that as well, with their efficient functioning marketplace.
Bottom line? Whenever a boat is bought or sold on their platform, Boatim wins. They have the team, the technology, and the trust to take the top place in the world of boating online, making them the natural choice for more and more buyers and sellers each year.
More Than Just a Marketplace
Boatim aims to be “everything boat, for everything boating.” In addition to their existing marketplace, they also publish maritime articles under Boatim Magazine, help with boat insurance and financing, boat charters, and have a significant social media presence.
This strategy puts them in front of the people who care about boats and yachts, builds their trust naturally over time, and makes them the default choice of marketplace whenever it comes time to buy or sell their boat.
We expect this strategy, combined with all the attention garnered from their mobile app and deal with New to The Street, to pay off handsomely for Boatim, and for the smart investors who get on board early (no pun intended.)
Summary For Investors
Boats and yachts have been a high dollar hobby for quite some time. Accessible to almost anyone at the low end, and selling for well over a billion dollars on the high end, there is significant money in this business. It’s also a growing industry, expected to hit $23.6 billion by 2027.
Legacy marketplaces and dealers were difficult for buyers and sellers to navigate and lacked trust. Boatim solves this with their innovative app and website, and their technology that makes them a trusted platform in a sea of weak competitors.
Their media distribution deal with New to The Street TV will put them in front of viewers of Fox News, Bloomberg, Fox Business Network, CNN, CNBC, Newsmax, and other networks repeatedly over the next 12 months, along with digital billboards in New York City. In other words, ideal boat owners, and ideal future customers for Boatim.
We are very excited about what this spike in publicity will do for Boatim, and smart investors are already getting on board to ride this wave to profits in the coming years.

DISCLAIMER
Who are we and what do we do?
We are paid advertisers, also known as stock touts or stock promoters, who disseminate favorable information (the “Information”) about publicly traded companies (the “Profiled Issuers”).
How is the Information published?
We publish the Information on our Website, in newsletters, audio services, live interviews, featured “research” reports, on message boards and in email communications for specific time periods that are agreed upon between us and the Profiled Issuer or third party paying us.
Our publication of the Information is known as a “Campaign”.
Will everyone receive the Information at the same time?
No. The Information may be sent to potential investors at different times that are minutes, hours, days or even weeks apart.
How is a potential investor impacted if he receives the Information later than other investors?
Typically, the trading volume and price of a Profiled Issuer’s securities increases after the Information is provided to the first group of investors. Therefore, the later an investor receives the Information, the more likely it is that he will suffer increased trading losses if he purchases the securities of a Profiled Issuer.
What will happen to the shares that we hold during the Campaign?
We will sell the shares we hold while we tell investors to purchase during the Campaign.
What will happen when the Campaign ends?
Most, if not all, of the Profiled Issuers are penny stocks that are illiquid and whose securities are subject to wide fluctuations in trading price and volume. During the Campaign the trading volume and price of the securities of each Profiled Issuer will likely increase significantly. When the Campaign ends, the volume and price of the Profiled Issuer will likely decrease dramatically. As a result, investors who purchase during the Campaign and hold shares of the Profiled Issuer when the Campaign ends will probably lose most, if not all, of their investment.
Why do we publish only favorable Information?
We only publish favorable information because we are compensated to publish only favorable information.
Why don’t we publish negative Information?
We don’t publish negative information because we are not paid to publish negative information. We are paid to publish only favorable information.
Is the Information complete, accurate, truthful or reliable?
No. The Information is a snapshot that provides only positive information about the Profiled Issuers. The Information consists of only positive content. We do not and will not publish any negative information about the Profiled Issuers; accordingly, investors should consider the Information to be one-sided and not balanced, complete, accurate, truthful or reliable.
What we do not do?
We do not publish negative information about the Profiled Issuers. We do not verify or confirm any portion of the Information. We do not conduct any due diligence, nor do we research any aspect of the Information including the completeness, accuracy, truthfulness or reliability of the Information.

Where does the Information come from?
The Information is provided to us by the Profiled Issuers and/or the person who hires us. We may also obtain the Information from publicly available sources such as the OTC Markets, Google, NASDAQ, NYSE, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Edgar database or other available public sources.
If we say we make “stock picks,” are those picks our own?
No, they are not. We are compensated to advertise the securities we are told to advertise.
What will happen if an investor relies on the Information?
If an investor relies on the Information in making an investment decision it is highly probable that the investor will lose most, if not all, of his or her investment. Investors should not rely on the Information to make an investment decision.
Who pays us to publish the Information?
The source of our compensation varies depending upon the particular circumstances of the Campaign.

A short time after we acquire a Profiled Issuer’s securities, we may publish the (favorable) Information about the Profiled Issuer advising others, including you, to purchase; and while doing so, we may sell the Profiled Issuer’s securities we acquired during our public dissemination of the Information causing us to profit while you suffer a loss;

What do we urge potential investors to do?
We urge Investors to conduct their own in-depth investigation of the Profiled Issuers with the assistance of their legal, tax and investment advisers.

An investor’s review should include, but not be limited to a review of available public sources and information received directly from the Profiled Issuers or from websites such as Google, OTC Markets, NASDAQ, NYSE, www.sec.gov or other available public sources.
Why is this Disclaimer being provided?
We are providing you with this disclaimer because we are publishing advertisements about penny stocks. Because we are paid to disseminate the Information to the public about securities, we are required by the securities laws including Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to specifically disclose our compensation as well as other important information, This information includes that we may hold, as well as purchase and sell, the securities of a Profiled Issuer before, during and after we publish favorable Information about the Profiled Issuer. We may urge investors to purchase the securities of a Profiled Issuer while we sell our own shares.
The anti-fraud provisions of federal and state securities laws require us to inform you that we may engage in buying and selling of Profiled Issuer’s securities before, during and after the Campaigns.What are other risks that investors should be aware of?
Any investment in the Profiled Issuers involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. The securities may be subject to extreme volume and price volatility, especially during the Campaigns. Favorable past performance of a Profiled Issuer does not guarantee future results. If you purchase the securities of the Profiled Issuers, you should be prepared to lose your entire investment. Some of the risks involved in purchasing securities of the Profiled Issuers include, but are not limited to the risks stated below.
We do not endorse, independently verify or assert the truthfulness, completeness, accuracy or reliability of the Information. We conduct no due diligence or investigation whatsoever of the Information or the Profiled Issuers and we do not receive any verification from the Profiled Issuer regarding the Information we disseminate.
If we publish any percentage gain of a Profiled Issuer from the previous day close in the Information, it is not and should not be construed as an indication that the future stock price or future operational results will reflect gains or otherwise prove to be advantageous to your investment.
The Information may contain statements asserting that a Profiled Issuer’s stock price has increased over a certain period of time which may reflect an arbitrary period of time, and is not predictive or of any analytical quality; as such, you should not rely upon the (favorable) Information in your analysis of the present or future potential of a Profiled Issuer or its securities.
The Information should not be interpreted in any way, shape, form or manner whatsoever as an indication of the Profiled Issuer’s future stock price or future financial performance.
You may encounter difficulties determining what, if any, portions of the Information are material or non-material, making it all the more imperative that you conduct your own independent investigation of the Profiled Issuer and its securities with the assistance of your legal, tax and financial advisor.
We or other stock promoters may receive free trading shares as compensation or we may acquire such shares in open market transactions before and during the Campaigns, and we may sell the shares we acquire at any time, even during the Campaigns while publishing the Favorable Information. When we sell the shares of the Profiled Issuers that we hold, the price at which investors can sell their shares will dramatically decrease and will likely cause investors to suffer trading losses.
We may sell securities of the Profiled Issuers for less than target prices set forth in the Information, and we may profit by selling our securities during the Campaigns while investors encounter losses.
When we acquire, purchase or sell the securities of the Profiled Issuers, it may (a) cause significant volatility in the Profiled Issuer’s securities; (b) cause temporary but unrealistic increases in volume and price of the Profiled Issuer’s securities; (c) if selling, cause the Profiled Issuer’s stock price to decline dramatically; and (d) permit us to make substantial profits while investors who purchase during the Campaign experience significant losses.
The securities of the Profiled Issuers are high risk, unstable, unpredictable and illiquid which may make it difficult for investors to sell their securities of the Profiled Issuers.
If we are compensated in improperly free trading securities of the Profiled Issuers, either directly or indirectly from persons who claim to be non-affiliates of such Profiled Issuer, we and the Profiled Issuer or third party could be subject to SEC Enforcement Action, including allegations of an illegal distribution in violation of Section 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act.
We may hire third party service providers and stock promoters to electronically disseminate live news regarding the Profiled Issuers, yet we have no control over the content of and do not verify the information that the Profiled Issuers and/or third party service providers publish. These third party service providers are likely compensated for providing positive information about the Issuer and fail to disclose their compensation to you.
If a Profiled Issuer is an SEC reporting company, it could be delinquent (not current) in its periodic reporting obligations (i.e., in its quarterly and annual reports), or if it is an OTC Markets Pink Sheet quoted company, it may be delinquent in its Pink Sheet reporting obligations, which may result in OTC Markets posting a negative legend pertaining to the Profiled Issuer at www.otcmarkets.com, as follows: (i) “Limited Information” for companies with financial reporting problems, economic distress, or that are unwilling to file required reports with the Pink Sheets; (ii) “No Information,” which characterizes companies that are unable or unwilling to provide any disclosure to the public markets, to the SEC or the Pink Sheets; and (iii) “Caveat Emptor,” signifying buyers should be aware that there is a public interest concern associated with a company’s illegal spam campaign, questionable stock promotion, known investigation of a company’s fraudulent activity or its insiders, regulatory suspensions or disruptive corporate actions.
If the Information states that a Profiled Issuer’s securities are consistent with the future economic trends or even if your independent research indicates that, you should be aware that economic trends have their own limitations, including: (a) that economic trends or predictions may be speculative; (b) consumers, producers, investors, borrowers, lenders and government may react in unforeseen ways and be affected by behavioral biases that we are unable to predict; (c) human and social factors may outweigh future economic trends that we state may or will occur; (d) clear cut economic predictions have their limitations in that they do not account for the fundamental uncertainty in economic life, as well as ordinary life; (e) economic trends may be disrupted by sudden jumps, disruptions or other factors that are not accounted for in economic trends analysis; in other words, past or present data predicting future economic trends may become irrelevant in light of new circumstances and situations in which uncertainty becomes reality rather than predicted economic outcome; or (f) if the trend predicted involves a single result, it ignores other scenarios that may be crucial to make a decision in the event of unknown contingencies.
The Information is presented only as a brief snapshot of the Profiled Issuer and should only be used, at most, and if at all, as a starting point for you to conduct a thorough investigation of the Profiled Issuer and its securities. You should consult your financial, legal or other adviser(s) and avail yourself of the filings and information that may be accessed at www.sec.govwww.sec.gov, www.otcmarkets.com or other electronic media, including: (a) reviewing SEC periodic reports (Forms 10-Q and 10-K), reports of material events (Form 8-K), insider reports (Forms 3, 4, 5 and Schedule 13D); (b) reviewing Information and Disclosure Statements and unaudited financial reports filed with the OTCMarkets.com; (c) obtaining and reviewing publicly available information contained in commonly known search engines such as Google; and (d) consulting investment guides at www.sec.gov and www.finra.org. You should always be cognizant that the Profiled Issuers may not be current in their reporting obligations with the SEC and the OTC Markets and/or have negative legends and designations at otcmarkets.com.
