Borrow A Boat

Borrow A Boat is the web’s newest and most exciting peer-to-peer marketplace for boat rentals, “the airbnb of boats”. Borrow from a wide selection of high quality boats, for less than you thought possible, quickly and easily. Everything from a RIB up to a Superyacht and everything in between is available and can be booked effortlessly with or without a skipper. Boat owners have the opportunity to make extra revenue to cover the cost of boat ownership in a safe and manageable way.

As one of the UK’s leading and the fastest growing boat charter platform, Borrow A Boat showcases the accessibility of boating with its unique offering which enables customers to easily get out on the water, on demand and on location, whether through the Borrow A Boat App or website. With over 17,000 boats in its portfolio, Borrow A Boat aspires to make boating a more accessible, flexible and affordable activity. Whether it’s paddle-boarding in the Solent, sailing the Mediterranean, exploring the Norwegian fjords on a motor yacht or cruising tropical waters further afield, Borrow A Boat hopes to highlight how easy taking to the water can truly be through its involvement with Southampton International Boat Show.
