Transportation

Boat It is a ride sharing and social platform built for the nautical community. Rent a seat, book a private trip, or list your boat or service on the map. The app brings boaters, captains, docks and waterfront businesses together so you can find trips, discover local maritime experiences, and stay up to date with real-time activity in your area.

PROBLEM

Getting on the water can be complicated: limited booking options, fragmented local listings, and no single place to find captains, trips and waterfront services.

SOLUTION

Boat It centralizes bookings, local businesses and captains in one app so users can find trips quickly, book with verified hosts, and get live updates about their voyage. Captains earn income by listing available trips, and businesses can pin their location to the map to attract nearby voyagers.

APP FOR CUSTOMERS

Find nearby trips, book seats or private charters, chat with your captain, and receive live updates about your trip. The app combines booking, secure payments, and a social feed so you can follow favorite routes, discover local waterfront venues, and rate experiences afterward.

APP FOR CAPTAIN

Captains can list their boat to earn extra income, set availability, manage bookings, and connect directly with voyagers. Dock owners and waterfront businesses can register to appear on the map, receive bookings, and promote services to the nautical community. Boat It positions captains as small business operators and gives owners tools to grow visibility and bookings.
