Since ever, travelling and exploring was a basic need of humans. During the season 2020 we have learned that boat rental is one of the most resilient forms of spending vacations with family and friends. While airlines and hotels lost 80 - 90% of their reservations, many boat rentals stations were fully booked during the summer holidays. No wonder - where else you can maintain a safe distance from other tourists while exploring the destination?

Where else can you spend a full day outside under the sky without urging your kids to put on their face masks? Because as long as you do not go ashore, there is no need to wear a face mask.

The trendiest rental boats are sailing catamarans and modern houseboats. Their enormous space and stability ensure the ambience of a luxury apartment on the water. Newly built catamarans and houseboats are amazingly equipped with a comfortable salon and kitchen, large cabins with en-suite bathrooms, air condition and electrical generator.
Large storages hold enough fresh water and food supply. Your family and friends will enjoy a long vacation without feeling the need to visit a harbour. On-board water toys like tenders, kayaks, SUPs or submarine equipment inspire you to explore unspoiled shores and perform water safaris.

The best cruising areas for catamaran charters are the Greek Islands and the Balearics, Croatia, Sardinia and Sicily and the Caribbean Sea. You can rent with or without skipper.
Favourite houseboat rental destinations are lakes, rivers and channels in Germany, the Netherlands, France, UK, Czech Republic and Italy. In many inshore regions you can hire those river boats without holding a skipper license.
