How It Works

Listing and Renting a Boat is Safe, Simple, and FREE

See why GetMyBoat is the premier source for watercraft sharing and rentals.

Whether you are an experienced sailor or a newbie just getting your sea-legs, spending a day on the water can be a relaxing, romantic, and adventurous experience! As passionate sailors ourselves, we want everyone to experience the joy of boating by creating the only marketplace dedicated to online boat sharing and rentals.

Private boat owners and rental companies can list their watercraft for rent on GetMyBoat, while providing potential renters (and future boating enthusiasts!) a centralized place on the web to view, compare, and reserve a watercraft! It’s completely safe, simple, and free!

Here's How it Works

It's Safe

Our community is based on trust and we take your safety seriously. We provide you with the technology, education, and resources to ensure your GetMyBoat experience is safe, both online and in the water.

Security

All contact information is kept confidential and is not made publicly available on our site.

Screening

All watercraft on the site is pre-screened before it is listed on our site.

Education

We have linked up with BoatUS to provide you with free, online safety education and training.

Resources

We provide downloadable legal agreements, checklists, and other useful materials to ensure both parties are protected throughout the rental transaction.

Insurance

We'll keep you afloat. GetMyBoat has partnered up with insurance companies to offer trip and renters insurance. We will soon be offering boat owners insurance.

It's Simple

We pride ourselves in offering you easy-to-use tools for you to list, search, and manage watercraft rentals so you can spend less time on our site and more time on the water!

Watercraft Listing Tools

Write a description, update boat details, modify pricing/availability, and upload photos to list your watercraft in less than five minutes.

Search & Filtering

Search and filter results by location, type of craft, and length. View individual listings to learn more and place a reservation on the craft.

Reservation Management Tools

The owner of the craft will be notified once a reservation has been requested for the watercraft. Our messaging platform allows both the renter and owner to communicate the details of the reservation. Once the reservation is confirmed, the parties will coordinate the methods of payment.
