easyBoat

What easyBoat does

easyBoat is a pre-launch online price comparison marketplace for yacht and boat charters, incorporated in Nicosia, Cyprus, and operating under the easy® brand umbrella of easyGroup Ltd. The platform aggregates rental listings from multiple yacht charter brokers into a single comparison interface, allowing consumers to view and book yachts across competing brokers in one place. Its stated technical core is a self-serve web platform (easyBoat.com) that surfaces broker inventory side-by-side for price transparency — a model analogous to consumer travel comparison sites in adjacent verticals (flights, hotels, car rentals).

The business model is transaction-based: easyBoat earns a commission when a customer books a charter through the platform after comparing broker prices. There are no disclosed pricing tiers, subscription fees, or subscription products; the company is wholly reliant on completed-booking economics. Its primary customer segment is individual travelers ("Holiday Yacht Charter Customers") seeking boat holidays, particularly in the Mediterranean where yacht charter demand is concentrated. The company targets growth driven by post-COVID appetite for boat holidays and social-media-driven travel trends.

easyBoat was founded in 2022 and is backed by Sir Stelios, founder of easyGroup (the parent behind easyJet, easyHotel, easyCar, and other easy® brands), along with Greek entrepreneurs and a broader pool of equity crowdfunding investors. It raised €469,718 in December 2022 through what was described as Cyprus's first equity crowdfunding campaign. The company is currently in pre-launch — its own website states it is "in discussions with a business partner already active in this space and preparing to launch this service." It has 1-10 employees and no disclosed revenue, transactions, or broker supply agreements finalized at the time of available reporting.

Emerging players

• Zizoovents: Online platform for comparing and booking boat rentals across Europe. Comparable as a smaller-scale emerging yacht/boat comparison marketplace in the same niche.
• Borrow A Boat: UK-based boat rental marketplace connecting customers with charter operators and private boat owners across Europe. Comparable as a European-focused boat/yacht rental aggregator.

Broad incumbents

• Booking.com: Generalist OTA that easyBoat's own website currently redirects users to for stays, flights, and car rentals. Represents the broader competition for online travel booking share, including any future expansion of yacht inventory.
• Dream Yacht Charter: Large global yacht charter operator with bareboat, crewed, and cabin charter offerings. Comparable as an incumbent yacht charter brand whose inventory and pricing easyBoat would compare.
• The Moorings: Established yacht charter company operating its own fleet worldwide. Comparable as a major yacht charter provider that easyBoat would aggregate; relevant for understanding incumbent scale in the category.

• GetMyBoat: Global boat and yacht rental marketplace aggregating listings from owners and operators. Directly comparable to easyBoat as a boat/yacht charter aggregation and booking platform with a similar commission-based model.
• SamBoat: Boat and yacht rental marketplace with strong presence in France and the Mediterranean. Directly comparable as a peer-to-peer and professional charter broker aggregator in the same yacht rental space.
• Boatsetter: Peer-to-peer and professional boat rental marketplace operating primarily in the US. Comparable online boat/yacht charter marketplace with a similar transactional booking and commission model.

• Click&Boat: European boat rental platform operating across the Mediterranean with both private owners and professional fleet operators. Comparable as a yacht/boat charter marketplace, particularly relevant given easyBoat's Mediterranean focus.
