How it works

Three steps from bid to bow.

No brokers. No paper. Just transparent auctions and direct payments to the owner.

Step 1

Browse open slots

Filter Miami marinas, dates and capacity. Every slot opens at a floor price set by the owner — no hidden fees, no broker call.

Step 2

Place a binding bid

Add a card, accept terms, place your bid. Your card is held — not charged. Out-bid? Your hold is released automatically.

Step 3

Win & set sail

The highest bidder wins and signs the digital bareboat charter. Need a captain? Hire one independently from the open captain directory — your choice, your agreement.

Why FARBO

A market-priced charter, secured end-to-end.

FARBO doesn't replace your charter — it replaces the broker. Owners keep control of their floor price. Renters pay the owner directly — FARBO only charges its commission.

Pay what the market decides

You bid what the trip is worth to you. Off-peak slots start at the owner's floor price — the market sets the final price, not a broker.

Simple, direct payment

You pay the owner directly on the day of the trip. FARBO invoices its 10% commission separately — we never hold your trip funds. Disputes are mediated by FARBO support.

Verified owners & captains

Every owner clears Stripe Identity. Every captain ships USCG license, photo and rate before listing.
