# Getmyboat

> Getmyboat is a global marketplace for boat rentals, captained charters, and water experiences. Founders Sascha Mornell and Rafael Collado noticed marinas full of expensive idle boats years before consumers were ready to rent access from strangers; after Airbnb and Uber normalized the behavior, they launched in 2013. The platform now advertises 180,000 boats and more than two million customers, earns transaction fees from bookings, and merged with rival Boatsetter in December 2025 while keeping both brands live.
