Boataround
A yacht booking platform the market can’t afford to ignore. Invest in the market leader
Today, Boataround is more than just a reservation portal with a strong booking effect. It is a vital distribution infrastructure for the yachting market—a platform relied upon by both customers and partners (charter providers and yacht owners). It attracts more than 19 million users annually. From a selection of over 28,000 boats in 98 countries, customers book vacations all over the world.
The company achieved a TTV of EUR 70.5 million in 2025, generates millions in revenue, and has maintained a stable margin over the long term. The critical period Boataround went through last year has, paradoxically, further confirmed its dominance.
Several charter companies that had temporarily left the platform returned after a short time—due to a lack of bookings and a decline in revenue. This clearly demonstrated Boataround’s irreplaceability and strong market position, not only in Europe.
After a challenging period, the company strengthened its management team (CFO, CMO), secured new capital from existing investors (Reflex Capital, Miton, Coopex Investments), and entered 2026 in the profit. The first few months already confirm a return to positive operating performance.
Today, you have the opportunity to invest in this market position through a secured loan. The investment offers:
- return of up to 16,2 % p.a. (11 % margin + 2,2 % EURIBOR + 3 % premium)
- short-term horizon with maturity on 22.1.2027
- up to 1,35x return
- collateralized by the company's shares
- conversion of the loan into digital bonds with a more tax-advantageous regime
The current investment campaign has raised over EUR 1 million from 166 investors. Additional investments are being made in smaller tranches so that the capital can start generating returns as soon as possible. Invest in a platform that the market truly needs. Earn revenue from a business that customers keep coming back to.
The current investment round, in the form of private debt (a loan) that will later be converted into digital DLT bonds, represents a short-term secured investment offering a fixed interest return and premium (11% margin + 2.2% EURIBOR + 3% premium) upon maturity of the loan. The company will use the capital from investors in the form of a loan (later bonds) to refinance the loan and as working capital for its growth.

Why invest
DLT (digital) bond
In cooperation with the Czech Securities Depository, we offer investors the opportunity to invest directly in digitized bonds.
This model provides a simpler, more efficient, and more cost-effective way to hold and trade securities. The bonds will be issued directly by the company and registered with national depositories. This offers a significant advantage for investors – securities will be held in asset accounts directly at Crowdberry, freeing investors from any administrative obligations associated with holding or transferring securities.
The distributed income will be paid to the investor after tax has been withheld; for individuals, income from Slovak bonds is subject to a 19% withholding tax.
About the Company and the Market Environment
Risks and scoring
🔴 Competitive risk (high)
The online brokerage market is characterized by low barriers to entry (lower capital requirements) and low costs for customers to switch to competitors. This increases pressure on margins and marketing expenses.
The risk is partially mitigated by Boataround's competitive advantages, such as dynamic pricing, a broad portfolio of boats and destinations, strong relationships with charter companies, and high customer satisfaction (Trustpilot rating of 4.5/5).
🔴 Cash flow risk (high)
Reservation payments and additional payments are spread over several steps throughout the year, which creates significant seasonality in cash flows and pressure on liquidity, especially in the fall and winter months.
The risk is partially mitigated by the fact that Boataround collects a substantial portion of the commission when the boat is booked, which reduces seasonal cash flow fluctuations and allows for better planning of operating financing.
🟡 Business model risk (medium)
Online boat rental brokerage is associated with significant seasonality and the risk that part of the customer base will switch to competitors.
This risk is mitigated by Boataround's strong market position and growing brand awareness, as well as year-on-year customer retention of approximately 60%, which supports organic growth and repeat bookings. We base our credit scoring on a combination of financial and non-financial indicators. According to our model, the credit score is D.
Risks and scoring are discussed in more detail in the Investment Information (IoI) document, which is available after a non-binding expression of interest to invest.
Investment involves the risk of partial or total loss of the invested funds. The investment opportunity in the target company is brokered through Crowdberry Investment Platform j. s. a.
