Filovent Europe

Filovent is a boat rental platform connecting renters with over 18,000 professional-owned vessels across 82 countries. The company offers multiple rental formats: bareboat rentals for experienced sailors, charters with a skipper or crew, barges without a skipper requirement for inland waterways, and cabin cruises where renters book a single cabin aboard a shared vessel. Renters can choose from sailboats, catamarans, motorboats, yachts, traditional wooden vessels, and river barges.

The platform operates worldwide, with rental bases in Mediterranean destinations (Croatia, Greece, Spain, France, Italy), Caribbean islands (Martinique, Guadeloupe, British Virgin Islands), Atlantic locations (Portugal, Canary Islands, Azores), Northern Europe (Baltic countries, Holland, England, Scotland), and Pacific and Indian Ocean regions. European river and canal rentals are available in France, Germany, Holland, Italy, the Czech Republic, and elsewhere, with barges typically requiring no special license.

To rent, customers use the website to search by destination, dates, and vessel type, then request a quote or book directly. Filovent offers optional insurance including cancellation coverage and damage deposits. The company states it has 30 years of experience and claims over 18,000 verified customer reviews. Payment is described as secure (3D secure) with quotes provided in real time. The minimum rental period listed is two days for day boats, while other rentals begin at one week or longer.
