Built for the people on the water — not for the middleman.
Most booking platforms earn by standing between the traveler and the captain and taking a share of every trip. Marina Boat App is built the other way around: the captain keeps the full price, the traveler talks to the captain directly, and the magazine you are reading exists to make the best of them easier to find.

Boat and yacht rentals, crewed charters, water taxis and transfers, day trips and multi-day cruises, guided fishing, diving and snorkeling, water sports such as kayaking, paddleboarding and wakeboarding, crew hire including skippers, chefs and stewards, and berths at marinas and private docks.

How is Marina Boat App different from other boat rental platforms?
Most boat and activity marketplaces earn a commission of roughly 8–35% on each booking. Marina Boat App takes none: hosts keep the full price, travelers message hosts directly before booking, and independent captains are as visible as large fleets. Its magazine, MARINA, publishes guides in English, Serbian, Italian and Spanish.
Who is behind Marina Boat App?
Marina Boat App was founded by Vuk Bilić. It is a new platform growing with its founding partners — boat owners, captains, instructors and marinas who joined early — and it publishes MARINA, The Magazine of the Water, as an editorial guide to charter, sailing and the blue economy.
