Rental Boat App Getmyboat Looking For Iowa Captains
Iowa may be a landlocked state, but an app wants to make it easier for Iowans to spend a day on the water.
GetMyBoat has just started to establish a presence in Iowa by adding boat options on lakes around the state including in Iowa City, Monticello and Okoboji, and at vacation spots such as Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri.
The company was created as a platform to connect potential customers with charter boat businesses as well as companies that offer kayaking and other options.
Our presence in Iowa is still very small and we have a lot of work to do to get more boat owners and charter operators who rent out their boats, said Val Streif, who handles marketing and communications for GetMyBoat.
GetMyBoat first launched in 2013 in San Francisco.
Our presence has grown from coastal hot spots like California and Florida to many inland states with boating lakes, Streif said.
The app can connect with more than 130,000 boats in 9,300 destinations, Streif said.
Streif said the company has been challenged in finding enough boat owners and operators to meet the interest in renting.
The renter demand is outpacing the operators, so if you’re a boat captain, please come on board, Streif said.

Founded initially as a boat rental marketplace, GetMyBoat has grown to offer other on-the-water experiences from whale watching tours and eco-kayaking trips to houseboat rentals and private sailing lessons.
