The Real Cost of Boat Club Memberships
How It Works
Simple for you. Fully automated behind the scenes.
For Boat Owners
Add photos, set your hourly rate, and choose your captain preference. After submitting, set your availability in the dashboard and connect your payout account — then activate your listing when ready.
Use instant booking for maximum income 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 communication organized. 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 owners 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 owner approval. No deposits required.
Meet your owner, get a quick walkthrough, and enjoy Minnesota's lakes. Fully protected — if the owner doesn't show, you receive a complete refund including all fees.

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 used.
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at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, I built Aquavora from scratch — because the platforms that existed were outdated, overpriced, and barely served Minnesota.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.
