But just like last year, everyone will want to see the coast from the sea, to be away from the crowds, and boats for hire are likely to become a rare "commodity". Especially on those days when you want to get out to sea, i.e. on a windless, sea-free day when the sky is perfectly blue. In short, the day when everyone wants to sail. And renting a boat to have an aperitif and watch the sunset is a bit expensive. At 500 euros/day, that's an expensive aperitif. Especially as you'll probably have to return the boat at closing time. In short, it's all a bit lacking in spontaneity and simplicity. 

Because of Covid, there will be fewer boats, and shipyards have been affected.
In addition, boatyards have been hard hit by the crisis, with shipyards shutting down during containment, and there will be a shortfall of 6,000 boats to renew the fleet in 2021.

Platforms take prohibitive commissions
Last but not least, you're thinking of collaborative platforms. These are often private owners who rent out their boats. And the day the weather is fine on August 13, the owner will be just as keen to get out to sea as you are, and won't necessarily be very inclined to rent out his boat. When boat charters or charter companies put their boats up for rent on these sites, they pay substantial commissions, which they will be very tempted to pass on to you, especially during periods of peak influence. 

LibertyPass by Nauticoncept is 100% use, without the inconvenience of ownership.

NautiConcept, a French start-up founded in 2016, has designed LibertyPass, the digital solution that allows those who want to sail freely without constraints.
