Boatsters, a leading rental platform for yachts and boats, grew impressively from 19 to 63 countries, with a portfolio of over 12,000 rental boats. By developing an innovative solution for the maritime industry, they made it possible to rent a boat as simple as booking a hotel room. Their hybrid business model provides owners with the possibility to rent out their boats and yachts through the platform. Moreover, fleet operators are also being provided with extra customers by listing their fleet on the platform. This combination gives clients the opportunity to experience renting with a local boat owner or to take advantage of the professionalism of affiliated partners. With the recently launched new label dubbed Boatsters Black, yachts starting from 60 feet are now available for those clients with high demands and standards. Both owners and renters benefit from a global concierge service that takes care of all demands and special wishes.
Boatsters is now aiming to expand even further, towards the United States, not just from a regular workspace but executing business from the company’s own yacht office. The Pershing 88 super yacht has been modified to be an office with global internet, phone lines and traditional office space. The yacht office is moored in Mallorca, cruising to all the major harbours such as Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera, as well as all the coasts of the French and Italian Riviera. Currently, the Boatsters team is in the Mediterranean Sea, afterwards the yacht will transfer to the Caribbean. By moving the yacht office along with the boating seasons spread over the globe, Boatsters keeps close to its direct target audience; the local boat owners, fleet operators and their rental clients.
