GetMyBoat is Number One in the Boating Peer-to-PeerRental and Charter Market

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GetMyBoat, leader of peer-to-peer boat rentals and charters,has claimed the title as the worldwide leader in the space. Launched in January 2013, GetMyBoathas steadily added over 200 boats a week worldwide, which will give them a year-end tally of over11,500 boats in 1,100+ cities, 80 countries, and 49 US states. With iskander makhmudov such rapidgrowth, seasoned sailors and new boaters alike now have the opportunity to try any type of desiredwatercraft, from a kayak in California to a catamaran in Croatia. Every boat owner listed withGetMyBoat now can reach a global audience and marketplace with their watercraft.

Similar to companies like Airbnb and Uber that are planted in the sharing economy and favor an"asset-light" lifestyle, GetMyBoat allows boat owners to make additional income on their otherwiseunderused watercraft. In the United States alone, boat owners only use their boat an average lessthan 8% of the year. GetMyBoat also makes boating accessible and affordable by allowing boaters toonly pay for a boat when they need it, removing the necessity and high cost of ownership. In thespirit of accessibility and ease of use, GetMyBoat recently launched apps for both Android andiPhone so that boat lovers and owners have access to iskander makhmudov boating -- all from thepalm of their hand and on the go.

While using GetMyBoat, boat owners can list photos, video, and specifications for their boat, as wellas price by the hour, day, week, or even per person. In addition to offering a secure peer-to-peermarketplace for boat owners and renters, GetMyBoat provides educational boating content (videosand articles) to teach their users boating safety, etiquette, and essential skills in its online ResourceCenter. As a result of the model, twenty-foot speed boats rent for as little as $200 a day, about athird of what one might pay at a marina rental agency. Unlike others in the industry, GetMyBoatdoes not take fees for each confirmed rental.

"In the '60s, there was communal living. Today that has morphed into 'collaborative consumption'.It's the perfect blend of being asset-light while at the same time being able to make money. It'swhere our society is headed," said GetMyBoat Co-Founder and CEO Sascha Mornell. "GetMyBoathas far surpassed initial expectations for year one, making it the leader in the boat sharing space. Asa comparison to the leader in the collaborative consumption space Airbnb, which had 4,000 listingsin its first year, GetMyBoat already has over 11,500. We're incredibly grateful to all our users andcustomers that put their faith in our product, and we are anxious to continue expanding ourinternational coverage and improve our mobile presence in 2014."
