BYRBO

Yacht Charters & Boat Rentals by Owner

Your Next Adventure Starts on the Water.

Find the perfect yacht, boat or catamaran in destinations around the world.

Featured Yachts — Hand Selected

Yacht charters and boat rentals, booked directly with the owner.

BYRBO is a marketplace where yacht and boat owners list their own vessels and travelers contact them directly. There is no charter broker between you and the boat, so you get the owner's real rate, straight answers about the vessel, and a trip planned around your group instead of a fixed tour.

Every listing shows the boat itself — photos, length, guest capacity, cabins, departure marina and what is included — so you can compare motor yachts, catamarans, sailboats and sportfishing boats side by side before you send a request.

  1. Browse and compare

    Filter by destination, boat type, size and group, then open any listing for full specs, photos and pricing.

  2. Send a request to the owner

    Share your date, group size and the kind of day you want. The owner or their captain replies with availability and a quote.

  3. Confirm and get on the water

    Agree the route, duration and extras directly with the owner, then meet your captain at the marina on the day.

Questions about chartering by owner

What does "by owner" mean on BYRBO?

The person who lists the boat is its owner or the owner's own management team. Your request goes straight to them, not to a broker who resells many boats, so pricing and details come from the people who actually run the vessel.

What is the difference between a yacht charter and a boat rental?

A yacht charter usually means a larger vessel with a professional captain and crew, often with food, drinks and water toys included. A boat rental is typically a smaller boat for a shorter trip. On BYRBO both come with a captain, and each listing explains exactly what is included.

Do I need boating experience or a license?

No. Charters listed on BYRBO are crewed, so a licensed captain handles navigation and safety while your group enjoys the day.

How much does a private charter cost?

Price depends on the boat's size, the length of the trip, the season and what is included. Smaller boats on short trips cost far less than large crewed yachts for a full day. Each listing shows the owner's own rates, so you can compare before you ask for a quote.

Does BYRBO charge guests a booking commission?

No. BYRBO does not add a booking commission on top of the owner's price. You agree the price and the details of your trip with the owner.

Can I list my own yacht or boat?

Yes. Owners can list charter yachts and boats on BYRBO and choose how they participate, from a free managed option to paid memberships with their own tools.
