Common questions
Click&Boat has some US listings but their strength is European inventory — France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Croatia. Their US presence is smaller than CharterXO, Boatsetter, or GetMyBoat.
Most European listings are priced in euros. US listings are priced in dollars. CharterXO prices everything in US dollars.
Click&Boat — European waters have the deepest sailing-yacht and catamaran inventory on the web. CharterXO focuses on US motor-yacht and premium captained charters, with sailing offered where the market supports it.
Yes. Bareboat charters typically require a valid skipper license (ICC in Europe, US Coast Guard licensure or equivalent US documentation domestically) plus passing owner/boat vetting.
For charterers
Go with Click&Boat if you are planning a European sailing vacation — their inventory, multilingual UX, and payment rails are tuned for that market. Go with CharterXO for US yacht charters where you want verified premium inventory, split payments, and an AI concierge that understands US regulations and etiquette.
For boat owners
Click&Boat is the leading platform if your boat is based in Europe. If your vessel is in a US top-50 market, CharterXO's US-focused AI tools and faster payouts are a better fit than the European-optimized Click&Boat flow.
