If you don’t own a boat, that doesn’t mean you can’t get out on one this summer. The “Airbnb of boats” is now available in the U.S. Borrow A Boat started in Britain in 2017, pioneering peer-to-peer boat charter in the country. It has since become a market leader in the boat rental sector.
“Our expansion into the U.S. is a key milestone in the growth of the business and brand. The U.S. is one of the world’s biggest boating markets but remains largely untapped in terms of peer-to-peer charter,” says Matt Ovenden, CEO and founder of Borrow A Boat. Marine tourism is expected to fuel demand for boat rentals, which provide an easy and convenient way to use a boat without the expense of owning it outright. Borrow A Boat offers boats as customers require, at competitive prices, with or without crew or a skipper, along with additional facilities such as hot tubs or jet skis.”
Borrow a Boat promises to fill a void in the domestic boating market, while also bringing unique on-water excursion opportunities to both locals and visitors. The U.S. site includes access to over 35,000 vessels ranging from sailboats and motorboats to catamarans and yachts, with more boats added each week in a variety of popular boating destinations.
