Founded in 2010, itBoat is a global platform designed to make the world of yachts easier to understand. From the beginning, the goal has been simple: to bring clarity, structure, and real expertise to a space that is often confusing, fragmented, or overly commercial.
Today, itBoat brings together verified data, clear classification, and hands-on industry knowledge to help people explore, compare, and evaluate yacht models with confidence, whether they are actively planning a purchase or just learning about yachting.
The current release of itBoat is in beta. Some features may still be evolving, and occasional bugs or imperfections are possible. We are actively improving the platform and rolling out fixes and updates on a continuous basis.
At its core, itBoat is a structured database of sailing and motor yacht models from leading builders around the world. Each model page follows a unified logic, with clear specifications, layouts, and performance data that allow for meaningful comparison across different yacht types, sizes, and builders. All information is presented objectively and updated regularly to remain accurate and reliable.
Behind the platform is a global network of professionals who work in yachting every day, including brokers, captains, naval architects, designers, surveyors, and legal specialists. When users make an enquiry through itBoat, they are connected with people who understand yachting and the practical next steps towards yacht ownership, rather than being routed through generic sales channels.
Alongside the database, itBoat also operates as a magazine covering yachts, boating, and life on the water.

What does "itBoat" mean?
The name itBoat combines "IT", referring to information technology, with "boat". The word "it" also carries the idea of something relevant, desirable, and current. Together, these meanings reflect the idea behind the platform: a modern, technology-driven service focused on well-designed, relevant yachts, supported by editorial content that looks at yachting as both a practical pursuit and a lifestyle.
