Idea

Introduction

Borrow A Boat is the UK's leading boat charter marketplace, with an offering of over 45,000 boats in more than 65 countries.

Often called "the Airbnb of boats", Borrow A Boat pioneered peer-to-peer boat charter in the UK, and now provides access to a huge number of charter boats globally which can be searched by region and filtered and booked online.

From day hire rentals in top locations to 7-day boat and yacht charters to superyacht and luxury crewed sailing trips, Borrow A Boat offers access to all kinds of boats and yachts of all sizes, all available on the website and app at the touch of a button.

Part of a vanguard of companies building the marketplace for boating that the world needs, Borrow A Boat has growth momentum and a track record of strategic acquisitions of competitors. With a skilled and experienced team on board for growth, Borrow A Boat aspires to be the world's leading boat charter marketplace worldwide, and plans an IPO in the not-too-distant future.

Monetisation strategy

Borrow A Boat earns commission on each charter booked, which is typically between 15-20%.

Private boat owners, and charter companies can list boats for charter on their terms, and the Borrow A Boat platform, which ranks high on Google, and consistently draws high traffic numbers drawing in customers to book the boats online from many countries worldwide.

Pitch type

There are 5 types of investment pitch available on Seedrs.

  • Equity
  • Convertible
  • Fund
  • Cohort
  • Secondary

Investing in a regular equity campaign is the simplest and most common way to invest in a startup. You decide which business you want to invest in, and if the campaign hits its funding target then you will become one of their shareholders. As the company becomes more valuable, so do your shares; allowing you the opportunity to share in the future success of the business.

Custodian

If you invest in this Campaign, Seedrs will act as Custodian rather than provide our standard nominee service. This is due to the fact that the business is not directly involved in the share sale and Seedrs will not benefit from any rights under a shareholder agreement. As a result, Seedrs will handle administrative tasks as we do normally, but you will not have information or voting rights, updates from the business, preemption on future fundraising, or ongoing support about business trading activity.

Business Involvement

This Campaign offers shares for sale in business that is not directly involved in this Campaign or the sale.
