2025 has been another remarkable year for the Getmyboat community. People have continued to find joy, connection, and unforgettable moments on the water, everywhere in the world. Our incredible community of boat owners and captains once again rose to the occasion—delivering safe, memorable, and high-quality experiences for renters everywhere. For that, we are both proud and deeply grateful.

What Are the Best of Getmyboat Awards?

Each year, Getmyboat recognizes the standout owners and operators who go above and beyond for their guests. The Best of Getmyboat Awards celebrate excellence —highlighting owners who are responsive, professional, and dedicated to creating exceptional guest experiences.

Winners of this prestigious award consistently earn outstanding reviews, maintain top performance, and demonstrate a true passion for hospitality.

A Best of Getmyboat badge is added to the profiles of the winning owners and captains to be displayed throughout the upcoming year. This helps renters easily identify the best experiences in any destination. The award is open to all Getmyboat partners worldwide, and winners are selected based on a rigorous review of their performance over the full calendar year.

Best of Getmyboat vs. Super Owner: What’s the Difference?

You may have noticed both Best of Getmyboat and Super Owner badges on the platform—each representing excellence, but in slightly different ways.

  • Super Owner status can be earned at any time during the year. Super Owners are highly responsive, maintain up-to-date listings and calendars, receive consistent five-star reviews, and go the extra mile to ensure a smooth booking experience.

  • The Best of Getmyboat awards recognize owners who have demonstrated sustained excellence throughout the year, continually deliver above-and-beyond experiences, work cooperatively with our customer support team, and set the gold standard for service. These are the best of the best.

And yes—you can earn both in the same year!

Super Owners enjoy improved visibility and higher rankings in search results, helping them attract even more bookings, while Best of Getmyboat winners earn added prestige and exclusive benefits.

Benefits of Being a Best of Getmyboat Award Winner

Winning the Best of Getmyboat Award comes with major perks on the platform, including:

  • Exclusive recognition: The official “Best of Getmyboat” badge is displayed on your profile and listings, signaling to renters that you deliver a trusted, top-tier experience.
