Best market price! Urban (TheBoss) made a difference. Not 5* but 100* to him. Overall Boataround have a big (price&staff) advantage against other yacht dealers. Do not allow this reputation go away.

The Dufour 36 GL is comfortable, easy to handle and just right if you are a small crew and don't have regatta ambitions. The sail surface is rather conservative. When the wind is too light, the boat... See more

Great experience and reliable service

I’ve had excellent experiences with this agency for several years. Everything has always gone smoothly, communication is quick and reliable. I also appreciate their flexibility, whenever we needed to make changes to our booking, they were always willing to help. A plus is that the attached photos of the boats are helpful when choosing and reflect the condition of the yachts. I highly recommend this company.

Canals in the Netherlands

The motorboat cruise through the canals in Friesland left me with many beautiful memories. Good food and beer (the best is in the Czech Republic :-)). We sailed with the boat through the landscape of windmills, among historical monuments. The Dutch are nice and pleasant people. I plan to come back here again.

Fully recemmended

Two yachty rented this year, I think that the prices were competetive, I could not find the same boats cheaper anywhere else anyway. While chartering a yacht with Boataround I like being offered a huge variety of boats, full jachts descriptions and easy to click add-ons are an advantage and finally there are no hidden or unexpected costs.

Great service once again

Once again, I got great service and communication from Boataround at arranging my charter during October. Information provided about the boat, charter company were accurate, with no hidden info and fees which might come up at the charter office. Reserving a boat, paying process and confirmations were smooth and on time. Although I was doing it both on PC and mobile everything was synced up with no flaws. I definitely recommend this company.

Best prices, great communication

We booked KUFNER 54 for this summer 9.8.2025. As i was "new captain" we tried to find some booking portal for the boats. Our goal was, to find some cheap boats for 12 persons. And than we found boataround, We booked the boat this March and we were really satisfied with communication, prices, checkin, checkout. Everything was perfect and we had really good time together with this Kufner. So thanks BoatAround for this great trip and see you also next year :)

Boataround Croatia rental

Last summer I booked through Boataround with a group of friends for a boat rental—and it was an excellent experience. Boataround is an online platform that makes renting yachts and boats very simple: you can search for sailboats, motorboats, catamarans, or even houseboats in many international destinations.
From booking to hand-over everything went smoothly. The website was user-friendly, the communication was clear and prompt, and we had no unexpected issues.

Transparent, Flexible, and Great Value

I've been using BoatAround.com since 2018, booking 12 boats, and they are consistently excellent. Their prices are great and their approach is completely transparent—no surprises. Most impressively, they are incredibly flexible and helpful. Multiple times I've needed to change bookings, and it has worked like a charm every time. Highly recommended!

Third smooth sailing with Boataround

This was our third cruise with this company and again everything went smoothly throughout the entire process. At the handover of the boat at the start of the trip, we noticed some imperfections, but everything was resolved quickly and we could set sail. I appreciate the personal approach of the people who handled it with us on the boat, specifically, if I recall correctly, Angelo. Next time we will definitely rent a catamaran here again.

Everything went very smooth. From browsing for suitable boats to reservation, booking, to check-in, payment and check-out.
Another boat collided with ours (minor incident) and everything was handled very smoothly after we provided insurance information of this boat.

Great Platform for Reliable Boat Rentals

Had several bookings with BoatAround and everything went really well. The charter companies know that customers can leave reviews, so they keep the service level high. So far so good — I’ll definitely keep booking my boats through BoatAround in the future!

Perfect communication - good partners

It was my first experience with Boataround. However, very positive. I highly rate both the application itself and the live communication with the operators. I was also very pleasantly surprised with the charter organization on site in Biograd. The boat matched the description and the check-in and check-out process itself was fine. I will definitely continue to count on Boataround for my trips to the sea.
