Boarding Pass
As the old saying goes, the two best days of a boat owner's life are the day they buy a boat and the day they sell it. However, if you forgo ownership and use the online network aboard Getmyboat, you’ll have nothing but smooth sailing from the lakes of Texas to the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean.
Since its launch in 2013, Getmyboat has established itself as the world's largest boat rental and charter marketplace. With over 170,000 listings spanning 184 countries and touching 10,000 destinations, they make the grandiosity of boating universally accessible. From sunbathed yacht escapades to spirited pontoon parties, Getmyboat doesn’t just ferry you from shore to shore — it transports you into a world where every day can be a voyage unto itself.
For as little as $10 an hour per person, you’ll get to relax and ride the waves of a three-hour tour of your own aboard a pontoon boat. Those with the need for speed can capture the wind with a sailboat or take off in a power boat with average rates of $26 and $43 an hour per person respectively, according to data they’ve pooled from more than 1 million successful passengers.
And if you’ve got a hankering to get below deck, Getmyboat has luxury yachts in all sizes and locales with captains awaiting your command. With seamless booking and secure direct messaging like you’re used to with sites like Airbnb and Vrbo, you can find your next outing in some of their most popular boating destinations across the country, including Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles and Austin to name a few.
This innovative platform isn't moored to one spot either. With its global reach, you can reach out for a skipper anywhere from Rio de Janeiro to Thailand and make the most of your worldly waterborne adventures.
