Lone fishing boat on a still sea at dusk
Dubai · Gouna · Barcelona

Honest opinions.Trusted deals.Real guidance.

I don't list every boat. I pick the ones I'd actually consider — then I tell you the truth about them.

What this is

Not a marketplace.
Not a dealership.
One person between you
and the right boat.

I review boats, I find boats for people, and I help the brands worth standing behind reach the audience that gets them.

GREW UP WITH THE SEA IN MY BLOOD.
ALWAYS CONNECTED.

I've spent more than two decades in branding, communication, and digital strategy — working across Egypt, the UAE, and Canada. But boats have always been the constant.

TheBoatfinder® wasn't built as a business. It started as a passion — showing people what's actually worth falling in love with, not just what's for sale.

Today I split my time between Spain, Egypt, and Dubai — running TheBoatfinder® as the MEA voice of a growing number of global boat brands, with Fisheye Solutions as the creative engine behind it all.
