Greek Yacht-Lending Platform BOATSCRIBE Raises €250k In Pre-Seed Round

The funding was led by Sylke and Osman Hizli of EOS Yacht Charter, with participation from Andrew Tsarenko of Stark Shipping.

“Within the next three years, our goal is to be the company that turns the yacht charter industry upside down,” said Illia Kolomoiskyi, Co-founder and CEO of BOATSCRIBE. “We want to bring an entirely new, active, and high-spending audience into yachting – and serve as the bridge between travellers and charter partners worldwide.”

Founded in 2023 by tech entrepreneurs and skippers Illia Kolomoiskyi and Kyrylo Soliar, BOATSCRIBE makes yacht rentals simple and part of the wider travel experience.

The platform lists over 36,000 yachts across 1,000+ destinations letting travelers compare prices instantly while connecting charter companies and brokers to new customers. BOATSCRIBE is also a Top 10 Pitch Finalist at this year’s Future Travel Summit.

“This funding is more than capital – it marks one of the few cases where players inside the yachting industry invest in each other, rather than relying solely on outside capital or acquisitions,” Kolomoiskyi added.

BOATSCRIBE helps travelers find yachts and destinations tailored to their preferences, making planning easier and more personalized. For charter companies and brokers its AI automates sales and support tasks boosting efficiency.

By blending consumer discovery with business automation, BOATSCRIBE is driving growth in a largely untapped travel market, with plans to integrate with major platforms like Tripadvisor, Google Things To Do, and lastminute.com.
