How does the boat rental work?

A community of trust

At SamBoat, we are building a community of trust guaranteed by several tools:

Sailing CV

A system of having a Sailing CV allows the renter to attest to his experiences at sea. The owner is free to accept or refuse a rental based on the renters Sailing CV.

Ratings and comments

After each rental, the owner and renter rate each other on SamBoat. This allows you to note the quality of the boat and the seriousness of the user.

Identity verification

The identity of the user, their license and their phone number can be verified by the SamBoat team in order to increase the authenticity of user profiles.

Secure payment

The regulation of the rental and the security deposit are online and completely secure. With this tool, you are guaranteed to be paid.

Renter's insurance

Security Deposit insurance

In order not to lose the amount of the security deposit in the event of a claim, you can use the security deposit insurance. Subscribed at the time of booking or afterwards, this insurance allows you to refund the amount debited from the security deposit following an accident. With this insurance, you will still have to leave a security deposit but the insurance will compensate you if the security deposit is debited by the owner.

  • Guaranteed amount: 5,000€
  • Starting from 30€, it is the most affordable insurance on the market.
  • Worldwide coverage
  • Full coverage (base engine, propeller, etc)
