Why should I communicate and pay through GetMyBoat?

GetMyBoat helps everything go smoothly in the booking transaction and reduces bad booking experiences for boat renters and owners.

Communicating or paying outside GetMyBoat can put you at risk of fraud, additional fees, failure to refund or pay, no-shows and is against our Terms of Use. To prevent this, we remove text from messages that might include contact information until a booking is confirmed by payment through our platform.

GetMyBoat has built-in messaging that allows you to directly communicate with the other party. Contact details are provided for each party after a booking payment is made through GetMyBoat in case there are any urgent or final details to discuss.

• Built-in messaging.
• Quick and easy management of booking details.
• Notifications sent to your phone and inbox for each important step or action by any party.
