The four platforms in our readings from 23 Sept 2026 to 20 Oct 2026
| Platform | Destinations with offers (of 183) | Offers per search (median) | Offers recorded (total) | Median price (€/day) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SamBoat | 174 | 23 | 15,828 | €332 |
| Click&Boat | 173 | 15 | 8,424 | €400 |
| Boataround | 154 | 14 | 12,030 | €1,103 |
| GlobeSailor | 101 | 8 | 2,943 | €360 |
Offers per search are capped by what each platform exposes publicly on its first results page (or, for Boataround, the first three pages of its API): an indicator of visible depth, not fleet size.
Methodology
Every night a collector runs a real search on one seventh of the destinations (each is therefore read once a week), for a departure 30 days out. It stores the public displayed prices (daily minimum, median, maximum) and the offer count, per platform and per boat type. No extrapolation: only actually published prices are aggregated. Full method and limits.
