Borrow A Boat is the proud new sponsor of British Marine’s Southampton International Boat Show which will take place from 13 to 22 September.
The UK’s fastest growing and only peer-to-peer boat charter platform, Borrow A Boat, has a portfolio of over 22,000 boats operating in 75+ countries worldwide and is only set to become bigger and better than ever before with the launch of Borrow A Boat Plus and Borrow A Boat Experiences.
Matt Ovenden, CEO of Borrow A Boat, comments: “We are thrilled to be onboard as the title sponsor of the Southampton International Boat Show which will enable us to delight the boat show audience with just how easy and accessible boating can be. The opportunity for our platform of listings to come to life at the show will provide the perfect arena for borrowers and owners alike to experience what Borrow A Boat is all about”.
At the UK’s biggest boat show, attendees can try out stand-up paddle-boarding, kayaking, dinghies and RIBS, go sailing, step aboard luxury yachts and enjoy a whole range of land-based fun from boating-based attractions – from celebrity appearances to live entertainment.
Borrow A Boat recently launched Borrow A Boat Experiences offering a more curated kind of boating holiday. The company explains: “Designed as a stepping stone from dry land to the ocean, Borrow A Boat Experiences will enable more people to experience the water in a way that suits them and makes them feel comfortable – whether that be as little as dipping your toe in the Thames paddleboarding or diving in at the deep end and gaining a qualification in sailing.
“The new travel and adventure focused line will feature curated, managed itineraries which ensure that almost anything is made possible, for even those brand new to getting on the water. From taking a paddle-boarding adventure through the Scottish Highlands, to ocean crossing on a historic tall ship, or gaining a yachting qualification and competing at racing events off Cowes, the new line offers a thrilling way of encouraging more people to get out onto the water, promising out of this world experiences.
“Championing the brand’s objective to making boating more flexible and accessible, with maximum choice for the consumer, the addition of Experiences does exactly that, emphasizing the ease of getting out on the water. Celebrating two immense rounds of crowdfunding and leading exceptional growth in the sharing economy, Borrow A Boat has opened up boating to the masses with their main brand and Experiences, as well as the HNW/UHNW market with their recent Plus line launch, by operating an on-demand, on-location, one-stop-shop app.
“Experiences will fit into the following categories: Adventure Travel, By the Cabin, Science Nature & Eco Tours, Culture, Art & Music, Day Cruises, Challenges, Corporate, and Courses. With something to suit everyone, Borrow A Boat Experiences promises to be a real hit across the globe.”
