A new online peer-to-peer marketplace Antlos, offers tailored skippered boat holidays and a revenue opportunity for yacht owners. Following in the steps of companies Airbnb and Uber, Antlos has introduced the sharing economy business model to the world of yachting. The company offers inexpensive sailing holidays, making them more accessible to those who have always considered them as a luxury.
The website has been up and running for over half a year now, enabling travellers to book authentic boat holidays directly from Skippers and giving yacht owners the chance to have a new source of revenue. The listings on antlos.com include yachting events such as regattas, island hopping, fishing trips, boat tours and weekly charters, with most including fuel, food and marina fees!
With no worries of extra costs for holiday makers and Skippers having the ability to set low prices due to no commission fees (apart from 3% to cover transaction costs), all sailing holidays on Antlos are now only a fraction of the price compared to charter agencies (who usually charge 15-50% commission to boat owners).
Sail the coasts of the Mediterranean and Adriatic and explore the wonders of the Caribbean on a boat holiday tailored to your needs from as little as €50/day per person. Their top locations include the Amalfi Coast and Venice in Italy, Ibiza in the Balearics, Lefkada in Greece, Split in Croatia and the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean.
Antlos is not a charter agency; instead it connects travellers directly with boat owners. Browse the incredible selection of experiences you can enjoy on board from fishing and preparing your own sushi on board, to island hopping, or even taking part in a regatta! If you cannot afford to book the entire boat for you and your friends or significant other, you can also choose from an array of private cabin and shared cabin charter listings.
If you decide to travel with friends, you can choose to book with ‘Split Payment’. This option splits the payment between all participants and invites them all to pay their share of the holiday. Booking a yacht holiday couldn’t be any easier.
