Our story

Built by a boat lover,
for everyone on the water.

BoatHire24 started in Marbella in 2020 with a simple idea: booking a charter should be as easy as booking a hotel room. Today we list a verified fleet across 20+ destinations and still obsess over every detail.

Founder & CEO

Mardo Soo

Founder of BoatHire24 · Since 2020

Mardo has spent years building businesses at the intersection of technology and lifestyle. After repeatedly watching friends and clients struggle to find reliable, transparent boat charters in Marbella and beyond, he set out to fix the experience from the ground up — starting with the Costa del Sol fleet he knew best.

“The sea should be accessible to everyone. Not just people who know the right people. That's what BoatHire24 is about — making world-class charters as easy to book as a hotel, without ever compromising on quality.”

Andra Kiirkivi

Co-Founder of BoatHire24 · Since 2020

Andra grew up on the coast of Estonia and spent summers immersed in the Mediterranean charter scene. Her deep understanding of the marine world and passion for exceptional guest experiences was the spark that turned an idea into BoatHire24.

“Every person who steps onto a boat for the first time remembers it forever. We built BoatHire24 to make sure that moment is always perfect.”
