Hospitality Awards 2024 | 23 Best Yacht & Boat Rental Company 2024 - Dominican Republic It is the aim of WannaBoats Servicios Náuticos, S.R.L. (WannaBoats) to make boat and yacht rentals more efficient, transparent, and accessible across the Caribbean and beyond. Inspired by the likes of Airbnb, WannaBoats has implemented a similar method in the nautical world, through a platform that bridges the gap between those who own boats and those looking to charter them. Offering everything from boating excursions to the rental of speed, sail, motor, and fishing boats, WannaBoats’ best-in-class nature is solidified by the encompassing community it has crafted. Before WannaBoats sailed onto the scene a few years ago, the Dominican Republic’s boat rental market was flooded with traditional agencies, businesses whose complicated processes and lack of transparency concerning rates made renting a boat more hassle than it needed to be. Disrupting the market through its innovative platform that transcends transactions and instead creates an environment where trust and quality define every rental, WannaBoats’ easy-to-use online platform allows for simple and direct booking. From small sailboats to luxury yacht charter, this encompassing platform has boats for every need and every budget, with both crew and fuel included in the price of every rental. Its immense portfolio is incredibly easy to navigate, given the intuitive user interface that allows boats in a client’s desired location that adhere to their requirements to be found in just a few clicks. Then, once a customer has narrowed their selection down to a couple of boats, detailed information and real user reviews help make the right decision. Whereas other boat chartering platforms seems to focus on specific niches such as fishing or double down on luxury, WannaBoats is distinguished by the fact that it is entirely inclusive, and it is this that has resulted in the company’s recent expansions into Mexico, the Bahamas, Saint Lucia, and the British Virgin Islands. The unique nature of WannaBoats in this space is thus clear to see, and its introduction of the sharing economy model into boating makes it a standout for seasoned boat renters and first-timers alike. Made popular over the past decade or so by the likes of Airbnb and Uber, the sharing economy has transformed an array of industries, with consumers attracted to it for its flexible and accessible nature. It has all been made possible through the power of technology, which has eliminated the need for intermediaries and allows users to connect directly with the service provider, be it through a mobile phone app or a website. The result is empowerment, and, in WannaBoats’ case, changes the way people enjoy the ocean. Having democratised boating, WannaBoats has not only simplified the process for customers looking for boat charters everywhere from Punta Cana to Saint Lucia, but it has also succeeded in creating new money-making opportunities for the boat owners themselves, who can now reach a much wider consumer base through the platform. The benefits for owners far exceed access to this international audience, as WannaBoats also allows them to set their own prices, take bookings around their availability, and decide who rents their boat. Through the connecting of boat owners and tourists in a number of different regions throughout the Caribbean and beyond, this platform is also having a significant impact on the local economies of these regions, particularly across those coastal communities where tourism is relied upon for survival. WannaBoats’ successes in these markets is just the tip of the iceberg, and the company’s ambitious plans see it striving to break into such key territories as Central and South America, as well as Southeast Asia. When the team behind the founding of WannaBoats first set out on this adventure, the clear vision shared by this group of entrepreneurs – whose experience spanned the technological, tourist, and nautical sectors – was simply to create a platform that could connect boat owners and those seeking to charter vessels in a direct and straightforward way. Having far exceeded this aim, WannaBoats is today a beacon of quality in the field of Caribbean boat rental and excursions, and its expansion stands as a testament to its quality. Rightfully named as the Best Yacht & Boat Rental Company 2024 - Dominican Republic, WannaBoats Servicios Náuticos, S.R.L. is set to launch its platform in both Saint Martin and Jamaica in the coming months, making now the perfect time to book a tour, charter a crewed luxury yacht, or rent a speedboat – and create unforgettable moments with loved ones in the process.
