WattaWave was founded in 2021 by a team of passionate boaters who knew there had to be a better way to connect boat owners with renters.
WattaWave was built by boaters, for boaters. We saw how difficult it was to find a quality boat rental — and how hard it was for boat owners to connect with renters who would treat their vessels with respect.
We set out to build the marketplace that makes both sides of that experience effortless. Renters get verified listings, transparent pricing, and secure payments. Owners get qualified renters, reliable payouts, and a platform that handles all the logistics.
Today, WattaWave serves thousands of renters and hundreds of boat owners across 50+ destinations. We're just getting started — our vision is a world where anyone, anywhere, can experience the freedom of the open water.
Every listing is manually reviewed. Owners are identity-verified and boat documents are checked before anything goes live.
Secure escrow payments, verified reviews, and clear pricing. No hidden fees. We do right by every person on our platform.
A perfect day on the water is worth more than any possession. Every feature we build is aimed at making those days happen.
