The Real Cost of Boat Club Memberships
How It Works
Simple for you. Fully automated behind the scenes.
For Rental Companies & Owners
Add photos, set hourly rates, and choose captained or self-drive for each boat. After submitting, set your availability in the dashboard and connect your payout account — then activate each listing when ready.
Use instant booking for maximum volume or manual approval for full control. Either way, professional confirmation emails and payment links go out automatically.
Hand over the keys. Our messaging system keeps every renter conversation organized in one inbox. Your payout hits your bank via Stripe 3 days after the rental ends — no action required.
For Renters
Search by city or use your current location. Browse results and filter by boat type, capacity, and price. Message the host before booking with any questions.
Pick your date and select exactly how many hours you need — 2, 4, 6, 8, or more. Instant confirmation or quick host approval. No deposits required.
Meet your host, get a quick walkthrough, and enjoy Minnesota's lakes. Fully protected — if the host doesn't show, you receive a complete refund including all fees.
Built Right. For Rental Operators.
Not patched together from old code. Built from scratch with modern technology — the booking platform Minnesota boat rentals deserve.

Full inbox like Airbnb — typing indicators, online status, file attachments. Renters can message you before they book. Organized, professional, instant.
20+ Automated Emails
Every interaction handled professionally — booking confirmations, payment reminders, review prompts, damage claims. All automatic, all branded.
Smart Damage Protection
No deposits required. Claims filed within 48 hours, admin-reviewed, 5-day dispute window. Only charges if damage actually occurs.
Full Reputation System
Category ratings, written reviews tied to real bookings, responses, completion rates, and performance tiers — build trust with every rental.
Automatic Payouts
Money hits your bank via Stripe 3 days after every rental. Track every penny in your dashboard. Transparent, reliable, hands-off.
Minnesota-Smart Calendar
Block dates, set weekly hours, handle seasonal availability. Real-time updates prevent double-bookings. Built for how Minnesota boats are actually rented.
Built by a Minnesotan,
for Minnesota lakes.
I'm Anthony Lopez, a 24-year-old Plymouth native. My family had a boat that sat unused most of the time, and friends without boats were stuck paying $8,000+ for club memberships with rigid rules and blackout dates.
After graduating from Minnesota State University, Mankato and interning as a software engineer at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, I built Aquavora from scratch — because the platforms that existed were outdated, overpriced, and barely served Minnesota.
Aquavora isn't backed by Silicon Valley money. It's bootstrapped, local, and built for exactly one reason: to help Minnesota boaters get on the water without breaking the bank — and to give the rental companies who serve them a better way to get booked.
