-Startup combines all the perks of online shopping with the joys of on-sea travel-

Skipper My Boat, the peer-to-peer yacht rental company that is redefining the way you travel by sea, has officially launched. Co-founded by twin brothers Matt and Adam Woods, Skipper My Boat connects boating lovers to owners, charter operators, and captains through a hassle-free and user-friendly platform that delivers peace of mind, along with a fantastic experience. Customers get to browse available vessels with 360° views, videos, and reviews at just the click of a button, and unlike competitors, private yacht owners enjoy a no-premium, million-dollar insurance policy.

“Booking a yacht typically requires customers to search thousands of websites, to then haggle with brokers who may be anywhere in the world,” said Matt Woods, Co-Founder and CEO of Skipper My Boat. “Through our platform, we are making things easier, more secure, and faster, allowing travelers to get back to traveling the world… not the web!”

Matt and Adam Woods were traveling through Thailand when they experienced firsthand how difficult it was to find a reputable charter company on demand. Three days later, after multiple headaches, and an international wire-transfer request, the two finally boarded a charter — with an outlined business model of Skipper My Boat in hand.

With the cost of boat ownership getting more and more prohibitive, the brothers knew they were on to something. “Our goal is to help facilitate the growing market and provide a place where people can easily find and book their dream boat, no matter where they are,” said Adam Woods, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer. “We give yacht owners and charter companies the tools and resources to offset the costs of boat ownership.”

Inspired by the business model of Airbnb, Skipper My Boat makes it easy for both experienced and inexperienced boaters to browse and compare thousands of verified boats based on date, location, price, size and user reviews. Travelers can easily customize and create their ideal trip, combined with hotel stays, onboard activities, and they can also split payments amongst other travelers.

“You don’t need to be part of the 1% to enjoy a day onboard a boat,” said Matt Woods. “With our platform, you can spend a day on the water for as little as a few hundred dollars, and experience the wonderful and amazing world of boating.”

Skipper My Boat has over 25,000 yachts across the USA, Caribbean, France, Italy, Central America and Asia. For more information about Skipper My Boat or to charter a beautiful yacht, visit www.skippermyboat.com.
