Sailsquare, the world’s first platform for organizing user-generated sailing vacations, expands its horizons in full collaborative consumption style. The formula is simple: on the one hand, the private shipowners decide to share their boat with the sailsquare community, with the dual benefit of experiencing the sea to the fullest and lower operating costs; on the other hand, sailsquare users can Embarking on sailboats of all kinds – From the one, comfortable, cruising, to the two-masted vintage – affordable thanks to the short supply chain. No geographical, or cultural limits: we embark just about everywhere, from Turkey to Spain, and given the internationality of the community, it is not uncommon to come across a few proposals where the official language of the vacation is English.
Of course, like last year, sailors without a boat of their own can continue to create their own tailor-made vacation by relying on sailsquare’s boat rental service.
The site

, completely renovated in terms of graphics and functionality, which can also be consulted from tablets and mobile phones, guides the user through the various services:
– private owners and skippers will be able to apply, demonstrating that they meet the requirements: a boat of their own (if private owners!), solid experience as sailors, and of course a passion for sailing. The next step is to create your own vacation, deciding on itinerary, travel style and spending budget, and invite your friends or the entire sailsquare community to participate.
– Sailing enthusiasts and lovers of vacations in contact with the sea all they will have to do is to choose, from among the vacations created by skippers and private boat owners, the one that best suits their needs, choosing from proposals dedicated to singles, families, sailing enthusiasts or newcomers to boating vacations. Thanks to the social dynamics of the platform, before departure you already get in touch with the rest of the crew!

WHAT SAILSQUARE IS
Born in June 2012 from the idea of Riccardo Boatti and Simone Marini, digital communication and information technology managers with a passion for sailing, sailsquare is the first peer-to-peer boat vacation platform that translated the concept of “user-generated holidays” into a maritime key. In just a few clicks, users registered with sailsquare can create their own tailor-made vacation, inviting their friends or the whole community to participate, or join a crew being formed: the reliability of the community is constantly monitored through a system of verifications, feedback and reviews. And the benefits are also economic: thanks to the short supply chain, those who choose to leave with sailsquare save up to 30 percent compared to the proposals of traditional tour operators. With ever-growing vacations and users (over 8,000), both in Italy and abroad, sailsquare reserves first-rate, multichannel customer support for its community via phone, email and chat. In late 2013, sailsquare received €200,000 in funding from a string of international business angels, with the aim of accelerating its internationalization path. Last season, sailsquare’s first since the opening of the service, saw 450 people participate in the vacations divided into 65 different proposals.
