What is Boat & Yacht Exchange?

What is Boat & Yacht Exchange?

The concept of vessel exchange is quite simple, and its simplicity is elegant. Certain people are looking for boats, some people own boats, and KaterBlue connects the two groups. Instead of contacting overpriced agencies or maritime education centers with burdensome fees, boat users can easily find and rent their ideal boat at the time and place they want, without obstacles, without additional obligations, directly from the owner of the boat. Think of it as a sort of Airbnb or Uber, but for boats and yachts. You have a specific date in mind, a specific location – be it your hometown or an exotic destination – and perhaps other preferences such as the type of ship, captain and crew and, of course, the price. With these parameters set, click the KaterBlue search button and in seconds you will be presented with a range of options that match your preferences. The whole process literally takes just a few clicks.

 

For owners of boats and yachts, KaterBlue is equally advantageous. Most owners use their vessel only occasionally; when they are free from their work and other obligations, and time is on their hands. For the rest of the year, the ship or yacht is moored somewhere, draining finances in the form of expensive port and marina fees, maintenance and sometimes compulsory boat club membership. In other cases, they simply could not find enough crew to take the ship out. This has led to the fact that many boat and yacht owners no longer see their boat or yacht as a source of joy, but as a source of worry. KaterBlue changes all that. When boat owners aren't hitting the waves themselves, they can easily rent out their boat to others or take boating enthusiasts out to sea, turning an idle, financially burdensome boat into a new income generator. This fresh impulse is potentially life-changing, delaying plans for the dreaded forced sale of your own boat or yacht and reigniting the love of sailing and sharing that love with other like-minded people.
