Float: The Airbnb experience for boaters

Written by Admin | Sep 27, 2018 4:27:16 AM

It’s the last weekend in August, and it’s 78 degrees... You need to get on the lake but you don’t have a boat. Float can help! Float applies the airbnb experience to boating, where boat owners can subsidize costs, like winterization, storage, and maintenance, by renting out their boat a few times each summer. On the other side of the equation, Float offers lakelovers, who cannot afford to buy or may not have access to a lake, the chance to easily get on the water.

The Company’s intuitive platform adds security and legitimacy to the exchange process. Hands-on listing creation, owner training, communication and availability of high quality boats opens users to opportunities they could never find on their own.

A now familiar business concept, Float’s added a twist by offering a portion of every rental to the preservation of lakes. They’ve also developed a level of concierge service to renters and owners to ensure the highest level of satisfaction. The concept put simply - pair boaters with renters, and keep both parties incredibly happy, while keeping the lakes in pristine condition.
