How it works
privateboattrip.com is a marketplace that connects guests looking for a boat trip with boat businesses. We are neither a travel agency nor a tour operator — we are a neutral intermediary.
For guests
01
Compare
Filter by region, date, group size and boat type. Ranking is based on guest rating, activity and freshness; sponsored results are always marked as 'Featured'.
02
Send a request
You pay nothing now. Your request goes to the boat owner; once approved the booking is confirmed and you track it with your PBT- code.
03
Join the tour
Be at the harbour 30 minutes before departure on the day of the tour. You pay on board.
04
Leave a review
Only completed bookings can leave a review — that is why our ratings are trustworthy. Your review appears after moderation.
For boat owners
Commission based
Listing is free; commission is charged only on completed bookings. You set your own rate above the platform's base rate — a higher rate helps your ranking.
Documented trust
Boats whose registration, insurance and seaworthiness certificates are approved receive a 'verified' badge. Boats without documents are not published.
Support anytime
Reach our technical team from the support module in your panel; urgent tickets are prioritised.
Grow with ads
Buy time-limited placements on the home page showcase, the top of a region page and above search results. The price depends on placement, duration and reach.
Scope of responsibility
The platform provides intermediary services only. Operation, safety, cancellation and refunds of a tour are the responsibility of the boat business running it. In case of a complaint our support team mediates between the parties; businesses that break the rules are removed from the platform.
