GlobeSailor is a European yacht charter, cruise comparison and booking platform and online agency.[1][2][3][4]

History

[edit]

GlobeSailor was founded in Paris, France, in 2010. On 3 June 2010, the company received its first seed investment of €200,000 from Paris Business Angels.[5] On 7 March 2017, GlobeSailor launched its travel agency, becoming the first agency dedicated to yachting and sailing charters.[6][7] This expansion enabled travelers to book additional sailing-related services alongside yacht rentals.[8][9][10][11]

On 24 October 2017, the company raised €800,000 in a second round of funding, replacing Paris Business Angels with France Investissement Tourisme (BPI).[12][13][14][15] On 5 August 2018, GlobeSailor was recognized as a lauréat by Réseau Entreprendre Paris,[16] and was elected "Boat Rental Company of the Year 2018" by Voile et Moteur.[17][18]

In December 2021, GlobeSailor acquired its competitor CoolSailing (part of the Skiset), a specialist in yacht and catamaran charters, with or without a skipper, across more than 80 destinations. CoolSailing has been active in the French market for 20 years.[19][20]

From 2023, the company donates €2 per booking to Surfrider Foundation Europe, specifically for the Échappée Bleue project, which educates disadvantaged youth about environmental conservation through sailing experiences.[21]

GlobeSailor provides access to more than 800 charter operators in 180[22] international destinations.[23][24][25]

Corriere Italiano named GlobeSailor a world leader in its segment.[26][27]

Yacht.de, a biweekly, German-language magazine, reported that in 2023, GlobeSailor analyzed the booking behavior of 6,200 customers, revealing notable trends in the charter market.[28]

It is also a sponsor of La Ruta de la Sal regatta in the Mediterranean.[29][30]
