Our Review
One of the many websites vying to become the Airbnb of boat rentals is GetMyBoat. According to the hypothesis, renting out your boat when it’s not in use makes sense if you already own one.
Boat rentals are often scheduled by the hour and, if the renter (or boat owner) so chooses, can include a captain. Rates are determined by owners. When the item is rented, the website receives a commission.
