Sailo Yacht Charters
By Heidi Sarna
I had an e-chat with Sailo.com Founder & CEO Magda Marcu and her team and they shared some details about the boat and yacht charter platform that’s been called by Conde Nast Traveler the “Airbnb of boats and yachts.”
QuirkyCruise.com: Who is Sailo and what do you offer?
Sailo.com: We are a global boat rental and yacht charter marketplace that instantly connects boat owners and charter companies with people who want to rent boats on a secure and easy-to-use platform.
We offer instant access to over 40,000 boats available in more than 1,000 locations worldwide.

QuirkyCruise.com: Why rent from Sailo over another company?
Sailo.com: Sailo stands out from other boat rental companies because we give boat owners the flexibility to rent out their boats with or without a United States Coast Guard licensed captain.
We also offer a range of highly convenient and unique services, including instant booking, payment in installments, overnight charters, trip protection in case of cancelation, and fraud protection.
Our goal is to provide the best experience for renters and boat owners. We achieve this by leveraging the largest and best-maintained supply of yachts, implementing a comprehensive verification system to guarantee the quality of the boats available for charter.
In addition, we have built personal relationships with many of the most skilled and trusted captains in the world.

QuirkyCruise.com: Why rent a private boat or yacht instead of booking a more traditional cruise?
Sailo.com: Each experience with Sailo is unique for every renter; you can tailor your rental as you see fit from the start.
Here are four reasons renting a boat or yacht is a great idea:
- When you rent a boat with Sailo.com, flexibility is a key aspect — you have the freedom to customize your itinerary, routes, and activities according to your preferences, whether you want to go on a few-hours cruise, a weekend getaway, or even a week-long adventure.
- You can also choose a more personalized experience that includes a captain, crew members, and sometimes even a chef or personal concierge.
- You can even captain the boat yourself, provided you have a captain’s license and your paperwork up-to-date.
- Last, but not least, you decide who joins you on the trip. This creates an intimate and personal experience, compared to sharing a cruise ship with other passengers.

QuirkyCruise.com: What are the most popular boats/yachts that you rent out?
Sailo.com: Typically, sailboats, catamarans, and fishing boats are in demand, depending on region and season.
These can easily accommodate 4 to 12 people and are the most sought-after by groups who want to spend quality time together.
Bigger party boats carrying more than 30 passengers can accommodate big groups and are very popular for special events, like a birthday celebration, a wedding or even a corporate event.
Cabin cruisers and motorboats are also in high demand during the season; they’re more versatile, and they appeal to families and smaller groups.
No matter what your interest, we cater to almost any charter needs — our users can customize their search by boat type, price and number of people attending, among many other useful filters.
QuirkyCruise.com: What is the most popular region for Sailo yacht charters?
Sailo.com: Currently, we are seeing high demand for boating experiences in Miami and New York in the US, and Croatia and Greece in Europe, but the season is far from over!
