The investment includes funding and a strategic partnership between YANMAR Group company YANMAR MARINE INTERNATIONAL, a leading provider of marine engines, and GetMyBoat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Left in the photo: Ms. Shiori Nagata, President Yanmar Marine International<br>Right in the photo: Mr. Sascha Mornell, CEO\u00a0&amp; co-founder GetMyBoat<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GetMyBoat is the world\u2019s largest boat and watercraft rental marketplace with over 108,000 listings in 184 countries and over 9,300 locations. The company brings all types of water experiences to renters anywhere in the world, and allows boat owners to list every type of boat and watercraft for rent \u2013 from powerboats and sailboats to kayaks and jet skis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAgainst the aging population of boat buyers and boat owners, and the trend that more and more people prefer access to experiences, rather than ownership, boat sharing has huge potential to engage new audiences with boating and to grow the industry. As part of our search for the most innovative on-demand sharing-economy platform, GetMyBoat, the world\u2019s largest and fastest growing marketplace for boat rentals and water experiences, was clearly our partner-of-choice,\u201d said Shiori Nagata, President YANMAR MARINE INTERNATIONAL. \u201cYANMAR and GetMyBoat are perfect industry partners to facilitate allowing more people to experience the water and to explore the future of global recreational marine.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GetMyBoat was launched in 2013 and prior to today, had never raised outside capital. The YANMAR investment is the company\u2019s first strategic investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are excited about the partnership with YANMAR,\u201d said Sascha Mornell, GetMyBoat CEO and co-founder. \u201cYANMAR is a global company with a long heritage and a strong brand name in the recreational marine industry. We are grateful that such a Company recognized the market leadership of GetMyBoat, invested in accelerating our growth and shares our mission to help people, anywhere in the world, to experience the water in a fun and safe way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the strategic partnership between YANMAR and GetMyBoat, Ms. Shiori Nagata will join the Board of Directors of GetMyBoat. The investment will be used by GetMyBoat to further strengthen its leading market position in the United States, to accelerate expansion in both Europe and Asia, and to further grow the platform services for boat owners and renters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:auto\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer
