Sailogy is an online platform for yacht charters and boat rentals, specializing in sailing vacations with over 22,000 vessels including sailboats, motor yachts, catamarans, and gulets across 800 destinations from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean.[2][3][5] It serves individual travelers, groups, and families seeking bareboat or skippered charters, solving the problem of fragmented, low-tech boat rental markets by offering real-time availability, last-minute bookings, competitive pricing, and 7-day multilingual support from certified professional charter companies.[1][2][5] With $1.13M in seed funding raised 11 years ago and reported 2024 revenue of $17.3M, Sailogy has achieved market leadership in Italy, Germany, and Switzerland, boasting over 100,000 clients from 84 countries and steady growth through proprietary software integration.[1][3][7]
Founded in 2013 in Chiasso, Switzerland, Sailogy aimed to revolutionize the niche, low-tech boat rental market by making high-quality sailing holidays accessible to everyone via an online platform.[2][3] The founders leveraged sophisticated proprietary software to connect with global charter databases, providing original images, detailed equipment lists, and real-time pricing—disrupting traditional booking processes.[2] Early traction came from aggregating boats from over 500 charter companies, expanding to 22,000 vessels; a pivotal moment was the 2018 acquisition of Master Yachting GmbH, a German leader since 1990, which bolstered its European dominance and reputation for reliability.[2] This evolution positioned Sailogy as Europe's top charter agency with instant bookings.[3]
Sailogy rides the travel tech wave of digital marketplaces disrupting legacy industries, shifting consumers from mass cruises to personalized, eco-friendly sailing adventures amid post-pandemic demand for intimate, customizable travel.[1][5] Perfect timing leverages rising interest in experiential vacations, with market forces like smartphone bookings and real-time inventory favoring platforms that aggregate niche suppliers—Sailogy's software bridges low-tech charter operators to global users.[2][7] It influences the ecosystem by setting standards for quality verification and support in boat rentals, enabling smaller charter firms to scale via its distribution network (e.g., Five Seasons Yachting Group partnerships) and fostering innovation in sustainable maritime tourism.[2]
Sailogy's blend of tech-enabled aggregation and hands-on service positions it for continued dominance in yacht charters, potentially expanding into AI-driven personalization or VR previews amid growing sustainable travel trends. Rising demand for experiential, low-impact holidays—fueled by climate awareness and remote work flexibility—will shape its path, with opportunities in emerging markets like Asia-Pacific. Its influence may evolve by powering more charter operators' digital shifts, solidifying Sailogy as the go-to gateway for accessible sea adventures in a fragmenting travel tech space.[1][2][5]
Sailogy has raised $2.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $2.0M Seed in September 2013.
