Protect your fleet with secure deposit management
A single grounding can cost you €200,000. GetDeposit lets you secure high-value deposits, document hull and interior condition, and resolve damage claims with timestamped evidence.
Why boat rental deposits need special treatment
High-value risk per charter
Hull damage, grounding, engine issues — a single incident can cost tens of thousands. Standard deposit methods don't cover this scale.
Condition disputes on return
Scratches, dents, and waterline marks are hard to attribute without pre-departure documentation. The resulting disputes delay turnaround.
Insurance evidence gaps
Filing insurance claims without timestamped condition reports is an uphill battle. Many claims are denied due to insufficient documentation.
How GetDeposit works for boat rentals
Register your fleet
Add each vessel with detailed photos, known marks, and condition notes. Set deposit amounts appropriate for the vessel's value.
Secure a high-value deposit
Collect deposits of €1,000–5,000+ via Stripe. The hold-and-capture model is designed for exactly these amounts.
Document pre-departure
Capture timestamped photos of hull, deck, interior, and equipment. The charterer signs off on the current condition.
Settle on return
Compare departure and return photos side by side. Deduct for damages instantly or release the full deposit.
