Idea
Introduction
How people go boating is changing - and Borrow A Boat is providing a 21st century solution.
Borrow A Boat's boat charter marketplace allows you to book boats of all types online for charter - whether a short notice request for day hire, a long weekend on board, or a 7-14 day boating trip for your summer holiday.
With access to over 35,000 boats listed in 65+ countries, we understand Borrow A Boat to be the UK's leading boat charter marketplace - and was the headline sponsor of the UK's biggest boat show in 2019 - the Southampton International Boat Show powered by Borrow A Boat.
The global yacht charter market is projected to reach $25bn by 2027, yet research shows more people would get out on the water if it was more accessible, and BaB makes it easier than ever for people to go boating.
With international expansion on the agenda, Borrow A Boat aims to launch into eight new countries in 2021 as it lays the foundation for the next stage of growth.

Monetisation strategy
Borrow A Boat makes it free for boat owners and boat charter fleets to list their boats on the platform and earns a commission on every booking - between 15% and 20% of every booking depending, with rates varying by region and boat type.
