GetMyBoat
A marketplace launched in 2013 that has grown into the widest inventory in the trade: listings in more than 180 countries, from jet skis and kayaks to crewed catamarans and houseboats. The model is deliberately light. Renters message the owner or local operator directly, agree times, extras and meeting point in the app, then pay through the platform, which holds the money until the trip.
Useful when the destination is unusual and other services show nothing, be it Croatia, Thailand, Brazil or a lake in Ontario. The trade off is that quality depends entirely on the individual operator, and answers can be slow in low season. Terms, deposits and cancellation windows are written by each owner, so the chat thread is the real contract and worth keeping. Instant booking exists but many listings still require a request.
