In partnership with OpenMedias
Since its creation in 2013, the Click & Boat company has democratized online boat rental for as many people as possible.
Accessible at the best prices and for all portfolios, the boats can be booked with or without a skipper.
It is therefore not compulsory to have a boat license to navigate freely on the waves.
Customized and accessible boat rental
Individuals can rent the boat of their choice in just a few clicks.
The site offers, if necessary, the preselection of certain options in order to quickly find the ideal boat (specific equipment: barbecue, water games, water skiing, etc.).
“
Thanks to the broadest offer on the market, we can offer a tailor-made experience to each of our customers.
They can book a boat for half a day, for several days, or for several weeks.
This activity is no longer reserved for an elite;
proof of this: 75% of reservations made
in 2020 were
less than € 500 ”.
Book a boat in a few minutes
Owners, individuals or professionals, post their ad free of charge on the company's website, adding photos, a description, and the price of the reservation.
Tenants can then contact them via private messaging to make one or more reservation requests on the available dates.
“
The goal is that tenants can book their boat as
easily as an apartment on Airbnb, according to their own criteria.
The process is quick and easy!
»Explains Edouard Gorioux, co-founder of Click & Boat.
Boat rental: a booming trend
At a time when the global pandemic is disrupting the tourism sector, boat rental is resisting the crisis and is managing to pull out of the game by meeting the French need for adventure and escape, to the point of appearing as the big travel trend for 2021.
There are many reasons: the boat allows you to get away from the crowds while ensuring optimal sanitary conditions.
This type of rental also makes it possible to favor local, ecological tourism through sailing and last minute: a new mode of travel that has been on the rise for more than a year.
“
In terms of reservations over the period from January to May 2021, we are already at + 12% compared to 2019, despite the confinement.
The boat will undoubtedly represent one of the main modes of travel for the coming summer!

The acquisition of the Nautal company
Thanks to the acquisition of Nautal, the number two company in the sector, Click & Boat strengthens its position as the world's leading boat rental platform and has some 200 employees within its group.
Click & Boat is now able to connect to its platform more than a million people all over the world, whether they are owners or tenants.
“
This buyout is a new step for our company.
It aims to offer an ever higher quality of service while continuing the work of democratizing yachting with the general public.
This makes it possible to develop new services to adapt to the changing needs of boaters.
Beyond the simple rental of a boat, the variety of experiences we offer ultimately brings us closer to a nautical travel agency
