Your boat can work for you

A leisure boat costs money every month it sits still — moorage, insurance and depreciation run whether you use it or not. Let it earn some of that back on the days you were not going out anyway.

4 days

Four days is one long weekend a month. Most boats rent out fewer days than the owner expects — set the number you actually believe.

Planned · Sailfloat Total

Hand over the key to a local partner. Forget the rest.

The plan is that where we get a service partner, you can let them handle everything — cleaning, keys, handover and support. No partner agreement has been signed yet. Sailfloat will connect you.

💬

Guest communication

When we open: the partner responds to renters and coordinates every request for you.

🔑

Key handover

The partner will meet the renter at the dock, give a walkthrough and bring the boat back in.

🧽

Cleaning & preparation

The aim is that the boat is cleaned, fuelled and checked before every trip — and after.

🛟

On-trip support

The partner will respond if something happens, and document any damage.

📸

Photos & listing

The plan is that the partner can take photos and help you set a price.

💸

Payout at launch

When we open: the rental income goes straight to your account. You never lift a finger.

You keep around 70%, the partner does the work

Self-managed gives you 88%, but then you meet the renter yourself. With Total, the remaining share will cover a local partner who handles everything — for owners who would rather not deal with cleaning and handovers. No partners are in place yet.

How it works
  • Sailfloat is only a platform. We own nothing and never touch the boat.
  • A verified local partner will carry out the service and be responsible for it.
  • We connect you with the partner and take a referral share from them.
  • No partners are in place yet. We are building city by city.

How to become a host

📸

Register the boat

Tell us where the boat is and what kind it is. Photos, price and description come afterwards, on your own page — whenever it suits you.

🗓️

Manage the calendar

When we open, you block the days you want the boat yourself, and approve every request if you want. There is no calendar to keep yet.

🤝

Meet the renter — or let a partner do it

Meet the renter at the dock yourself, or choose Sailfloat Total where we have a local partner — then the partner does the handover, not us.

💸

Get paid

At launch: payout straight to your account about 24 h after a completed trip. The insurance is your own — clear rental with your insurer before the first renter.

Who you are talking to

I am Zagros Nyseth, and I am building Sailfloat alone from Oslo. There is no customer-service department here: register a boat and it is me who reads it and me who answers you. Sailfloat is not registered as a company yet and has not taken a single krone from anyone. It says so in the terms, and I say it here too.

Safe for you as an owner

  • The insurance is your own. We explain what insurers require for rental to be covered.
  • The plan is that only BankID-verified renters get in. No profiles are verified today.
  • A deposit is to be reserved on the renter's card as security — from launch.
  • You decide the price, calendar, and who gets to rent.

Frequently asked questions

Usually, yes. Rental income from your own leisure boat is normally taxable income, and costs linked to renting it out can affect what you are actually taxed on. Whether an allowance applies, and how to report the income, is set out at skatteetaten.no — if you rent out on a scale resembling a business, different rules apply. We are not tax advisers and give no binding answers. Sailfloat reports nothing to the tax authorities today, because we do not handle payment yet.
Today there is no Sailfloat arrangement to fall back on — booking is not open, and the rental agreement is between you and the renter. That means you should not rent out at all before your insurer has confirmed in writing that renting out is covered, and what the deductible is then. Several insurers double it during rental. Our guide explains how to document the boat's condition before and after the trip — the simplest way to avoid the argument entirely.
Right now: two minutes to register the boat, and five more whenever you want to add photos and a price. Then you hear from me. That is everything that happens before we open — there is no calendar to keep, no messages to answer and no renters yet.
Free to list. Self-managed: you keep 88% of the price you set, and the renter pays a separate 12% service fee on top. Sailfloat takes 12% from each side. Total: a local partner does the work and you end up with around 70%.
Not today. Booking is not open, and we have no insurance agreement to point to until it is signed. The goal is collective liability and hull insurance covering the boat when it is out with a verified renter, whether you handle the handover yourself or a partner does. Until then your own policy applies — and renting out is often excluded from ordinary leisure-boat insurance.
The plan is that only BankID-verified users get in, and that the renter confirms a boating licence at booking where the boat requires one. None of this is in operation yet.
Yes. You set the rules and can approve every request manually. With Total, the partner follows your rules.
No. Sailfloat is only a platform. The plan with Total is that we connect you with a verified local partner (cleaning company, marina or similar) who handles cleaning, keys, handover and support. No partner agreement has been signed yet.
