# Yachting.com — Yacht Charter & Boat Rental

> Yachting.com is an international yacht charter marketplace operating since 1997. We connect sailors with over 13,000 boats from 1,120+ charter companies across 50+ countries. Core services include bareboat yacht charter (sailboats, catamarans, motorboats, power catamarans), luxury crewed yacht charter, houseboat rental on European rivers and canals, charter insurance (deposit and cancellation via Allianz and Uniqa), and expert sailing guidance through our magazine. Headquarters in Europe, serving customers globally with localized content in multiple languages.

Yachting.com is a boat rental aggregator — not a charter company itself. We act as a trusted intermediary, offering best-price guarantees, three pricing packages (Economy, Premium, Exclusive), and comprehensive insurance products. Our most popular destinations are Croatia, Greece, Italy, Spain, Turkey, and France. We also serve the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, Indian Ocean, and other worldwide sailing regions.

The site is available in multiple language versions. The English (GB) version is at `/en-gb/`. Boat search and booking is powered by a dynamic search engine at `/en-gb/yacht/charter` with query parameters for destination, boat type, dates, and features.
