The open water, opened up.
Nouca is the marketplace that connects people who want a day on the water with the local owners and captains who make it possible.
Our mission
We believe everyone should be able to experience the water without needing to own a boat.
Nouca started with a simple observation: marinas are full of beautiful boats that rarely leave the dock, while millions of people dream of a day on the water and never get the chance. We built a trusted, friendly marketplace to bring the two together, so owners earn from boats they love, and guests make memories they'll never forget.

What we stand for
Access over ownership
A boat sits unused 90% of the time. We turn that idle time into unforgettable days on the water, without the cost of owning.
Safety first, always
Verified guests, licensed captains, required safety gear, and protection on every trip. Confidence from dock to dock.
Local at heart
Every booking supports an independent owner or captain who knows their waters better than anyone.
Respect the water
We champion responsible boating and partner with owners who care for the coasts and lakes we all love.
