Company mission
Zizoo's mission is to bring the joy of boat holidays to millions of people by digitalizing the nautical industry.
Our take
The boat rental industry is growing, and considering that it’s long lagged behind the likes of flight booking, accommodation, and car rental in terms of tech solutions, there looks to be lots of potential for even further expansion.
Founded in 2014 in Germany, Zizoo has essentially been doing for boats what the likes of Booking.com and Agoda have been doing for hotel rooms. It’s been pretty successful too. While there are a number of similar models out there – Click&Boat and Sailo for example – Zizoo is recognized amongst the top five or ten in the world.
After a well publicized funding round back in 2018, Zizoo went on a major global expansion mission, increasing its reach to over 30 countries and now offering tens of thousands of boats for rent.
While the entire travel market took a huge blow during the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic, it has bounced back in a big way, offering Zizoo plenty of hope for even more growth in the future.
