Nauta lets you quickly and seamlessly book, manage and share 2-to-8 hour luxury social experiences by yourself or with friends, at unprecedented, all-inclusive prices, onboard superyachts
About Us
Nauta directly partners with yacht owners to provide unprecedented accessibility and affordability to their yachts and professional crews. We are built by consumers for consumers.
Frustrated by the industry's lack of consumer-centric innovation and outdated manual processes, we began building a booking platform that encompasses the best consumer-focused features employed at companies like Uber, Expedia, and Splitwise, such as instant bookings, guaranteed best pricing, and payment splitting.
Our backstory is simple; we're a group of young, ex-NYC professionals that love nothing more than socializing with the people we love in unique, fun, and luxurious settings - an experience ideally facilitated by being aboard a yacht. We can't wait to have you aboard soon!
