About BOATLUX
A Global Network Built Around the Water.
BOATLUX is a global network for shared boat ownership, operating through franchises: connecting people, boats and opportunities.
Who we are
A smarter way to share the water.
BOATLUX is a global network for shared boat ownership. Owners hold a share of a professionally managed boat, and local franchise partners run the operation in each market.
The model began in Brazil in 2012 and has grown through franchises. Today the network is expanding across the United States and international locations.

How the model works
Three parts. One network.
- 01
Owners
Own a share of a boat, not the whole responsibility. Professional management handles insurance, maintenance, storage and preparation, and smart scheduling opens the boat to you.
- 02
Franchise partners
Local entrepreneurs bring BOATLUX to their market: they operate the boats, welcome owners and grow the community, with training and ongoing support from the network.
- 03
The BOATLUX network
The brand, the systems and the relationships that tie it together: shared standards, smart scheduling and Global International Use (GIU) across eligible boats in participating markets.
How we work
What guides the network.
Experience first
Everything is designed around time on the water, not paperwork.
Professional by default
Boats are managed, maintained and prepared by professionals, so every outing starts ready.
Clear by design
Example values are labelled, availability is described honestly, and nothing is promised that the system cannot deliver.
Local roots, global reach
A local franchise partner in every market, and a network that travels with you through GIU.
Where to next?
