Hey Captain (Digital Nautic)

This Nantes-based startup, founded in 2014, offers a service for professionals to simplify the relationship between charterer and yachtsman.

The platform currently works with around ten ports in France, including La Rochelle, Marseille, Saint-Tropez, Hyères, Bassin d'Arcachon, Ajaccio and Port Camargue. Since 2017, the Bénéteau group commissioned the company to launch its "boat club" (the principle: payment of a membership fee and subscription in exchange for the right to rent boats made available by the private club at any time and anywhere).

In 2016, it raised 500,000 euros from Litto Invest and business angels. The startup quadrupled its sales in 2017.
