The story

Getmyboat started as a peer-to-peer marketplace for boat rentals connecting renters with boat owners globally across 180,000 boats in 10,000 destinations. In 2022, Japanese marine manufacturer Yanmar took a majority stake via a $21M Series B, accelerating the platform's international growth ambitions. The company has progressively added payments infrastructure for boat owners — most recently launching Direct Booking (2023) so operators can process off-platform reservations through Getmyboat's stack, deepening the platform's role as a financial and operational OS for marine businesses.
