After attracting a huge amount of renters in France and Europe, Click & Boat has spread across the world.

This is a fundamental evolution in the original model, based initially on the relationship between individuals. These professional boats renters will complement the current fleet of 12,000 private boats already available throughout the world.
“During our 4 years, we’ve came across tens of thousands of individuals, all facing a wide variety of needs; types and sizes of boats, "sporty, “day tour," or "cruise" to the ability to travel autonomously or be accompanied; for half a day or several weeks…Our partners recognize that this knowledge of the diversity of the expectations of amateurs sailors constitutes a major asset. It is with this experience that we are evolving to become the reference model of a site for online boat rental”, said Edouard Gorioux, co-founder of Click & Boat.
By offering their fleet for hire on Click & Boat, professional rental companies benefit from:
- the best visibility online (more than 3 million people visited the Click & Boat site in 2017)
- the best booking management tools developed for boat rental (automated reservation management, up to date availability, etc.)
- access to a new client base.
For their part, amateur sailors will be able to profit from an even wider choice, and in particular an enriched high-end offer: sailboats, yachts, hiring with a skipper…and this will be available in more than 40 countries around the world. "The opening of our platform to professional boat renting companies offers our customers new destinations and new ranges of boats" says Jérémy Bismuth, co-founder of Click & Boat.
