Boat rental management or rental management corresponds to the situation where a pleasure boat owner rents out his vessel over a period of the year during which he does not use his boat. It is a process that is not really known to the general public, especially because we often tend to think that it is not possible to approach the world of boating without having the financial means. This is not the case ! Indeed, the management of a boat rental presents an advantageous access to people interested in the world of boating.
Boat rental management can be a unique experience, enjoyable for the renter and economical for the boat owner provided you set up this process properly. Boatngo delivers all the secrets of rental management to, on the one hand avoid unpleasant surprises and on the other hand, allow you to make great savings on the maintenance of your vessel.
For whom is this intended ?
Yachting rental management really has no boundaries. The person for whom the world of boating arouses interest can resort to rental management. Generally, rental management encompasses three protagonists:
- The rental agency: it coordinates with a boat owner who entrusts it to it. The agency takes care of defining the rules and conditions of the contract and is responsible for finding the right tenants, with the right profile. It ensures compliance with the contract and the smooth running of the rental.
- The owner of a boat: he calls upon a rental agency with the aim of renting his boat, according to certain predefined conditions. The owner of the boat must indicate to the agency the period of the year during which he intends to use his boat. The remaining time is only dedicated to the rental.
- The boat renter: he doesn't want to become an owner because he wants to enjoy a boat on an occasional basis and/or doesn't want to have to deal with maintenance. The rental management is a perfect alternative for him ! He chooses when he wants to sail and does not have to worry about the condition of the boat. It is a turnkey offer.
What are the conditions ?
The conditions apply mainly for the owner of the boat. Indeed, when he wants to put his boat for rent, the rental agencies can offer him, in addition, insurance to better cover the use of the vessel.
For the owner, it is essential to be in order. In particular, it will be necessary to refer to the policy of the "Division 240" which delineates the rules, equipment and safety formalities to be respected in the practice of boating. The text clearly separates the use for oneself and the provision of the boat.
There is also a form available in the appendix of the policy: this form, which must be filled out by the owner enumerates the various points to be checked, such as smoke, life jackets or GPS. You will also find the provision of a list of equipment that it is imperative to have in possession, before navigation and according to the type of navigation for which the boat is intended.

What are the advantages ?
There are a lot of advantages to resorting to rental management of one's pleasure boat. Since the field of pleasure boating is rather restricted and opaque, the purpose of rental management is to facilitate access to this universe for those interested in it.

- The owner makes it profitable to maintain his or her boat since he or she receives an income that he or she will be able to use.
- The boat remains in good overall condition with a cleaner hull, a good engine and a reduced risk against burglary and squatting since the boat is often mobile, or even lived in.
