Hey, ship happens—but really floating our boats is a rent-by-the-hour trend that’ll have you shouting “lake hair, don’t care” all summer long. Like Airbnb for boats, GetMyBoat is making all kinds of waves. “As the world’s largest boat rental marketplace connecting boat owners with renters around the globe—with 150,000 options across 9,300 destinations—our mission is to make the joys of boating more accessible to everyone, everywhere,” says GetMyBoat Marketing Manager Val Streif. 

Now having splashed on the market in NC with a fleet of 400+ (and growing), the boat-booking brand promises to help you seas the day—a boon for both “yeah, buoy” revelers and owners who wanna turn their toy into a side hustle or biz (GetMyBoat is free to join, and the average owner pulls $25K+ annually, adds Streif). Setting sail statewide from coastal ops like Wilmington and the Outer Banks to uberpopular Lake Norman (named as one of the brand’s top U.S. boating destinations of 2023), NTM a budding fleet in Raleigh, the platform floats a slew of experiences—from yachts (giving Tanya in White Lotus (spoiler alert) sans the slip), Jet Skis, wakeboard boats and double-decker pontoons with waterslides (!) to captained adventures and custom charter requests, to name but a few. Weekend forecast: Pontooning with a heavy chance of drinking. Hey, whatever floats your boat. From $75/hour, @getmyboat
