The first credit investment with conversion into digital bonds

If you are waiting for the right time to invest in the form of corporate loans, now is the time. Boataround is the TOP 1 portal visited by more than 19 million yachting enthusiasts every year, renting holiday boats, yachts and catamarans around the world. The booking portal is one of the fastest growing Slovak travel-tech companies.

The booking portal Boataround.com is one of the fastest growing Slovak travel-tech companies. From a catalog of more than 28,000 boats, customers can conveniently order a boat in 98 countries around the world. The company is growing steadily and is one of the leading players in the European market with a TTV (total transaction value) of EUR 70.5 million in 2025. Tens of thousands of customers (mainly from Germany and Austria) use the service, and the company generates millions in revenue and maintains a stable margin.

The current investment round in the form of private debt (loan), which will later be converted into digital DLT bonds, represents a short-term investment for 12-24 months, secured by payment of an annual fixed interest yield and a premium (11% margin + 2.2% EURIBOR + 3% premium) upon maturity of the loan.

What does converting a loan investment into digital bonds bring to investors?

Boataround is coming to the Crowdberry platform with an exceptionally unique investment structure – it is the first loan investment that is subsequently converted into digital DLT bonds.

In practice, this means that investors first enter into an investment in the form of secured private debt (notarial deed, company agreements, financial covenants), with a fixed maturity and interest yield of 13.2%. After the credit phase expires, this investment is automatically transformed into digital bonds recorded in the DLT (distributed ledger) infrastructure.

For investors, this represents a combination of the advantages of a traditional debt instrument and a modern digital form of record keeping. On the one hand, they gain a clear return profile and predictable time frame, and on the other hand, they benefit from more efficient, faster, and more transparent investment management in a digital environment.

This structure is ideal for investors who prefer debt over equity and want to take advantage of an innovative way to participate in the growth of a Slovak technology company with international operations.

How Boataround will use the invested capital

The company will use capital from investors in the form of loans (later bonds) to refinance its loan and as working capital for its growth. Boataround plans to use the investment funds primarily for further development of its technology platform, expansion of its boat and partnership offerings, improvement of internal processes, and support for international expansion.

Capital is thus directed directly into activities that strengthen the sales and market share of the company, which is already one of the leaders in its segment.
