Tubber is a yacht charter platform that operates as the perfect matchmaker between boat owner and renter. It provides an easy way for renters to find and book a perfect yacht directly from the website, as well for the charter operators to rent out their boat. The idea of starting a company was inspired by the love and passion of its founders Anne de Vries and Ron Spoelstra for being on the water and intention to enable renters and boat owners to meet and share these feelings too. The registration is very simple and can be quickly done through Facebook, Google+ or just an e-mail address. The platform provides direct contact of renter and yacht owner and makes a booking process easy and secure. The boats offered are from charter operators and private boat owners located both in Europe and worldwide. Additionally, Tubber allows private boat owners and charter operators to publish and rent their yachts completely insured on all international waters! At this moment Tubber has exceeded the amount of 12,000 available yachts in their database which includes more than 8,000 real time yachts and 16,000 users that have a registered account.

Always Insured Booking

The company guarantees safe payments and full insurance for both parties. Their partner, payment platform Adyen, empowers the renters to make secured transactions and Tubber provides a global insurance for every boat that is rented out through the platform. This means that boat owners can share their yacht without any worries for damages. Moreover, the renters can enjoy their days on the water without the fear of unanticipated costs.

Every boat listed on the website is fully checked by the Tubber team, assuring a high quality fleet. And because private boat owners are able to rent out their boat too, the diversity of boats offered in terms of model, appearance and interior is greatly enhanced. This makes the search for the perfect boat fun and successful!
