3. ‘BareBoat’ Rentals:

Make the most sought-after boat experience available on MatesBoat™. Rent your boat to approved Mates and generate passive income. With meticulous onboarding and the right insurance, this is a lucrative way to offset boat ownership costs while potentially benefiting from tax deductions.

4. Water Sport Activities:

Cater to the needs of holidaymakers around lakes, rivers, and bays who are looking for water sport experiences. Many Airbnb guests are eager to find a way to enjoy the water. Solve this problem by providing a fun-filled day on the water for them and their families.

5. Diving Adventures:

Don’t overlook the diving market. If you’re already heading out for a dive, find paying Mates who want to join your underwater exploration. It’s a fantastic way to earn extra income while sharing your passion for diving.
