AirBnB for Boats (boatbound.co)

Exorbitant at the moment: 10 to 20 days' rental buys your own boat at the NYC area pricing ($600/day for a $6000 boat). Compare that to auto ($60 for a $30,000 car) or AirBnB rent ($120 for a $300,000 apt) and the boat pricing makes no sense.


Pricing should drop as more rentals come onto the market, but that's in a rational market. Time will tell.


As someone who is selling his car, motorcycle, and liquidating part of his retirement to buy a sailboat to live on, I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter!


You should say something about which countries you operate in. The copy seems to have been written with the assumption that only Americans will read it.


Great idea, love the pain-free signup.

However, your site breaks the back button for me which is a huge annoyance.


I would totally use this, if I had an actually nice body of water to, you know, use.
