How Nouca works

Renting a boat should be as easy as booking a place to stay. Here's the whole flow, for guests and for owners.

For guests

Your day on the water

Step 1

Search by destination, date, and group size. Filter by boat type, price, and whether you'd like a captain, then compare ratings and reviews.

Step 2

Book instantly or send a request to the owner. Checkout is secure, the full price is shown up front, and most trips offer free cancellation.

Step 3

Meet your host at the dock for a quick safety briefing, then enjoy your day on the water. Captain optional: sit back or take the helm.

For owners

Step 1

Add photos, specs, location, and the amenities that make your boat special. Listing takes about 20 minutes.

Step 2

You choose the price, calendar, house rules, and whether a captain is required. We suggest a rate based on local demand.

Step 3

Approve requests or enable Instant Book. Payouts land 24 hours after each trip starts, with $1M protection included.

24/7 support

Real humans before and during every trip.

Verified reviews

Every review comes from a real, completed trip.

Free cancellation

Most boats are fully refundable up to 7 days out.
