Athens-based BOATSCRIBE, a yacht rental metasearch platform, secured over €250k in pre-Seed funding. Sylke Hizli and Osman Hizli from EOS Yacht Charter led the round. Andrew Tsarenko from Stark Shipping also participated.
Founded in 2023 by Illia Kolomoiskyi and Kyrylo Soliar, BOATSCRIBE simplifies yacht rentals. Furthermore, the platform aggregates over 36,000 yachts across 1,000+ global destinations. It allows travelers to compare yacht prices and availability instantly.
Driving Yacht Rental Innovation
BOATSCRIBE aims to make yachting a mainstream and accessible travel experience. Consequently, the company plans to attract a new, active, and high-spending audience to yachting. This pre-Seed funding supports their goal to revolutionize the yacht charter industry.
The platform provides charter companies and brokers with new demand streams. Additionally, BOATSCRIBE's AI tools automate repetitive sales and support tasks for B2B partners. This boosts efficiency across the industry, differentiating it from other platforms like Click&Boat or Samboat.
This pre-Seed round positions BOATSCRIBE as a catalyst for growth in global travel's untapped verticals. Moreover, future plans include partnerships with major global travel platforms such as Tripadvisor and Google Things To Do.
