SamBoat, a website for private individuals founded in 2014, offers:
- for sailors, to rent a boat up to 40% cheaper, anywhere in France, from a catalog of 8,000 motorboats and sailboats, in over 300 ports ;
- for boat owners, to pay off the cost of owning a boat;
- for both, a SamBoat guarantee covering the risks inherent in chartering.
In 2016, the start-up raised €1 million from the MAIF Avenir fund, in order to sustain its international growth. The insurer has also signed a strategic partnership with SamBoat, with a view to offering tailor-made insurance for boat rentals between private individuals.
Since its creation, the site has also diversified into the professional rental segment. Its development objectives are now focused on the entire Mediterranean basin, in particular Spain, Italy, Greece and Croatia
