The Airbnb For Boats
- andymoe 14y agoThe problem with these types of services for luxury goods and services is they don't provide for advanced booking deposites and cancelation fees so they are generally a non-starter for people renting out in demand vacation homes or other luxury items like boats and aircraft. I have a family member that rents out a vacation home and also a boat via VRBO and they looked at Airbnb however these two issues made it a non-starter for them because their pipeline is typically 6 months to a years worth of reservations w/deposites. I believe that renting out luxury goods or very popular destinations/experiences requires a slightly different approach. That being said there are some unique services that could be provided around peer to peer boat rentals to ease the burdon of the boat owner. (emergency service/towing/insurance etc)
