"Rent My Boat Berth" offers a win for Sanctuary Cove show visitors

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

The revolutionary new boat berth rental opportunity, #rentmyboatberth, will be on display throughout the #sanctuarycoveinternationalboatshow beginning on Thursday. 

Rent My Boat Berth offers economy and convenience for cruising boat owners and a new income stream for marine berth owners by bringing them together through a simple web-based booking system. 

The system offers a 24-hour year-round service for cruising boaters to find a marina berth or mooring. There is no need to phone a marina manager or berth owner and hope they answer and can help. It is a simple search-and-click, day or night. 

A multitude of moorings and berths - overnight, weekly or monthly - are already listed from as little as $10 a night for short-term stay. 

Rent My Boat Berth is an initiative of renowned marine industry identities Andy and Belinda Young, owners of Australia's largest luxury boat shared ownership business Boating Syndication #australia. 

"The owners of all those moorings and berths in all those bays can now unlock additional income," said Belinda Young. "Boat owners can also have peace of mind knowing they have legally booked the berth or mooring and can’t be kicked off! 

"There are thousands of properties along our harbours and waterways with empty pontoon berths or moorings," said Ms Young. "The owners may be away or may have bought the property with no intention of ever putting a boat on the pontoon. Now there is a chance to monetise that empty pontoon or mooring and offer a benefit to cruising boaters." 

She said the initiative fits perfectly in the 21st century shared economy, unlocking resources for the boating community.  

Boaters log into the #rentmyboatberth site, select the berth they want and pay online by credit card. The amount is held until one week after the rental is satisfactorily completed when the fee is sent to the berth owner. 

"This covers the boater who may find a berth is not what was advertised," said Ms Young. "In that case, we are able to refund the full cost to the boater." 

She said #rentmyboatberth offers a new source of income for berth owners and convenient low-cost overnight or longer-term mooring for cruising boaters.
