Democratizing Miami's waters.
FARBO is Miami's first ascending-auction marketplace for recreational boat rentals — built to replace brokers with transparency.
Our mission
Fair prices for Miami's waters.
We started FARBO because we saw boat owners struggling to fill off-peak slots, and renters paying broker premiums for the same experience. Ascending auctions let supply and demand find the right price naturally — no hidden fees, no phone calls, no middlemen.
What makes us different
We're not a rental app. We're a marketplace.
Auction-based pricing
Auctions set the price, not a broker. You bid what the trip is worth to you — supply and demand find fair value together.
Verified fleet
Every boat requires a state registration number. Every captain holds a USCG license. Every renter born after 1988 must have an FWC Boating Safety card.
Full digital trail
Digital bareboat charter signed at booking. QR dock check-in. Dispute resolution handled by FARBO admins within 5 business days.
Two dashboards, one platform
Separate portals for owners and renters.
Boat owners get a dedicated dashboard to manage their fleet, create auction slots, add captains, and track bookings and earnings. Renters get a clean view of their bids, bookings, and trip history. Same platform, purpose-built for each role.
Bareboat charter advisory
We guide you through the process.
Not sure what a bareboat charter is or whether you need a captain? Our team offers free consultancy for both owners and renters. We'll walk you through Florida law, FWC requirements, and how to get the most out of your FARBO listing or booking.
