PROBLEM
people love boats
but...the more motor boats we have on the water, the more polluted it becomes.
With the rise of the sharing economy, it has become easier than ever to get on a boat. any boat.
in some ways it is great to see our canals, rivers and oceans full of boats, but at the same time: the more motor boats we have on the water, the more polluted it becomes.

A Sustainable boating platform.
refusing the listings of motor boats.
luckily, there are alternatives to motor boats,
but for some reason they have not been receiving the attention they deserve. therefore, the need to create a platform exclusively for eco-friendly boats inspired our purpose.

"weareonaboat" gives people access to a sustainable boating experience.
it's a shared economy of electrical and solar boats worldwide.

We would love to have competitors.
We are the only global platform who refuses the listing of motor boats.
