Boat dealershipsGoal: Sea trial booked

The AI voice agent that books sea trials while your sales team is at the boat show.

Spring buyers inquire on several listings at once, often late at night. Avoonta calls back in seconds, asks how they'll use the boat, and books a showroom visit or sea trial.

The problem

Why boat dealers leads go cold.

In boat season, the dealer who calls back first gets the sea trial.

Boat buying is seasonal. When the weather turns, inquiries spike, and your salespeople are at the boat show, on the water with another buyer, or rigging a delivery.

Buyers comparing a center console on three dealer sites book a sea trial with whoever calls first. The others get a polite no thanks.

What Avoonta does for boat dealers

Outbound

Plan
Launch, $79/mo

If faster callbacks add one more boat sale this season, the gross on that sale would likely cover years of the plan.

Example only. Inquiry volume, talk time and margins differ; use your own numbers.

Limits and compliance

Financing talk stays with your F&I team.

Your agent calls only buyers who inquired and consented, between 8am and 8pm their time, after a do-not-call check. It doesn't quote payments, rates or trade values, and it doesn't confirm a boat is available until your team does. Sea trial safety rules come from you.

  • No payment or trade quotes
  • Availability confirmed by sales
  • Sea trial rules from your team
