For 6 years GetBoat.com, a unique tender-based marketplace for yacht charters, has been helping people to find perfect boats across the globe. You can find various boat rentals in each coastal town, but why do modern travelers choose GetBoat.com?
Innovation
GetBoat.com is the next level in the boat rental industry due to its unique auction system of offers. Other yacht and boat rentals if they operate online work similarly with each other. They attract a ready-made database of boats, and then the only thing they have to do is to find more customers to get a commission from them.
The downside to this approach is that even though this system works properly in most cases, it is not flexible and not technologically advanced. The service does not own a database of the boats and does not communicate with the owners directly.
GetBoat.com works only directly with local owners all over the world. It is not only companies with many vessels in their fleet but also individuals owning one or two boats.
Next, the boat owners add their boats to GetBoat.com, where they prescribe their conditions. After that they can adjust the boats themselves: change prices based on the season, edit the descriptions, update their list of boats, and so on.
When a customer comes to the marketplace, he makes a request based on his needs, and next, he sees not just a showcase of ready-made options, for which it is still necessary to clarify whether they are available or not. On GetBoat.com the client receives real-time offers that are relevant at the moment and are in line with his wishes.
Example: a client has made a request for a yacht in Dubai for July 20, for two days for four people. All boat owners located in Dubai receive a notification on their email about the request for a yacht in their location.
The owner of the vessel comes to GetBoat.com and sees the details of the request: dates, number of guests, special requests, and comments from the client, but does not see the client’s data. He selects from his list a boat that meets all the requirements in the request and makes an offer.
The client looks at all the options, chooses the best offer, books it, and pays in part or in full. Only after payment is completed, both parties can see each other’s contacts.
Individual approach
GetBoat.com managers follow up on every order to clarify the details (budget, dates, number of people, any special wishes, and the type of vessel) if needed.
Convenience
In GetBoat.com everything is done to make it easy and convenient to rent a boat.
When a person comes to another country and wants to rent a yacht, the only thing he needs is to open the GetBost.com website or application and make a request.

GetBoat.com takes care of all these issues and no matter where you are — you can find a boat all over the world, in any country where the service operates.
GetBoat.com customers can be assured that they will always be assisted — client support is available around the clock.

Payment flexibility
In addition to innovation, individual approach, and convenience, for the client, a definite advantage is flexibility in payment.
Customers can pay for rent in various currencies, which are converted into the necessary ones (depending on the location of the charter) at the current exchange rate. It is also possible to pay the full amount through the service or partially.
How to use it?
Both the GetBoat.com website and app are user-friendly so it wouldn’t take much time to make a request. Here is a short guide on how to do it.
Let’s start with the main page:
There you can see the latest added vessels displayed with prices and some other details. You can choose one of these lots or refine your request using the filter.
Then select a specific boat and make a request for it: choose dates, and number of guests, and write a comment. The request has been made!
The second way to submit a rental request also starts with the main page
There you can see an inquiry form where you can specify a location, check-in date, and duration. You can choose the number of full days or ask for a daytime charter in case you want to return the boat on the same day.
Next, you need to specify your email address and phone number:
If you already have an account, then you need to output the data of this account. If you don’t have it yet, then you need to go through registration.
Here you can also offer your price to get the offers from those owners who are willing to provide a boat for this certain amount.
After the request is ready press the GET OFFERS button.
Right after that, you will get the offers in real time.
But how can you see the offers on your previous requests or if you left the page? Select REQUESTS on the main page:
All your requests are displayed here, so select the last one:
There you can see the list of offers.
There may be a different number of them. It depends on the location, the activity of the yacht owners, the season, and other factors. You can select a specific yacht and go to the payment page:
As we already mentioned the payment can be divided into several payments, especially if the trip is planned. The first part of the payment is made to book the vessel and the other one can be paid later.
Features of ship rental
For each offer, by default, it is assumed that the vessel will have a captain and a crew to go to sea. This is a team that will ensure that you have a great trip.
In addition to the main crew, at your request, it can be a waiter or a steward who will help with food and drinks, as well as cleaning.
The more people are planned to be on the yacht, the more staff there may be. It is possible to order a DJ, videographer, photographer, bartender, or even a chef for your trip. The number of staff depends on the duration of the trip, especially if it takes several days, or one or two weeks.
Our customers love to book vessels for vacations with family, and friends, or a romantic getaway. The wish of the client and their companions is to simply relax, swim, and enjoy the sea, which will be organized by the captain and staff.
GetBoat.com is keeping pace with the times and transforming the boat renting industry, providing customers with a unique experience and the best service.
