French law allows boatsharing, but in Greece, a tempting market, private owners face more difficulties.

Renters usually need a boating licence, or must hire skippers. Demand to get on the water is seasonal.

Building up a big fleet of boats takes time. Owners tend to be middle-aged and are reachable mainly by word of mouth or at boat shows.

Undeterred, both firms are trying to scale up, partly by pursuing a flotilla of potential rivals.

Click&Boat bought one, Sailsharing, in 2016, to access more craft.

and has partnered with Airbnb to offer experiences such as wakeboarding in Miami or eating paella on a boat near Barcelona.

for chartering luxury craft for thousands of euros a day in places like the Cote d'Azur, for which there is plenty of international demand.

It is one thing to stay in someone else's flat. It's another to captain a superyacht—especially when it looks like you own it.
