Skipperi, a Finnish company founded in 2017 by the husband-and-wife team Kristian and Anna-Leena Raij, is a digital platform designed to make boating more accessible and affordable. The company operates on a dual business model, offering both a shared-use subscription service and a peer-to-peer rental marketplace. This structure caters to both casual boaters and existing boat owners.
The primary offering, Skipperi Fleet, is a subscription-based service providing members with unlimited access to a managed fleet of over 400 motorboats across more than 40 locations. Members pay a monthly fee during the boating season, which covers maintenance, insurance, and winterization, with the only additional cost being fuel. Bookings, check-ins, and access to the boats are all managed through a mobile application, a feature that 73.5% of users cite as a key reason for subscribing. The secondary service, Skipperi Rent, functions as a peer-to-peer platform where private boat owners can rent their vessels to qualified users, providing a way to offset ownership costs.
The company targets individuals who find the cost and hassle of boat ownership prohibitive, noting that over 53% of its subscribers are motivated by the expense of owning a boat. To ensure safety and competence, Skipperi provides training for new users, including theoretical and practical courses through its Skipperi Academy. The platform has expanded internationally, with operations in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, New Zealand, and Canada, and has announced plans to enter markets in Australia and the United States. This expansion has been supported by significant funding, including a €7 million Series A round in February 2023, led by strategic partner Yamaha Motor. This brought their total funding to over €12.6 million. A February 2025 report indicated the company was on the verge of an exit, with a new owner planning to alter the business model.
