Startup Monday: Antlos

Startup Monday is ABCey’s weekly post that features some of the best and brightest companies in the Bay Area. They are often companies that we have our eye on or have worked with in the past & would like to share with friends and followers of ABCey Events!

Antlos is a yachting service that lets you enjoy all the fun of being at sea minus the hassle of buying a yacht or learning to sail! Antlos provides private trips around the coastline of several beautiful cities including Greece, Italy and Spain all at around $100/night per guest. This fee is all inclusive covering costs for food, fuel, and your fully trained skipper!

Antalos

“Antlos is the best solution for all fans of boat holidays, a web platform that connects expert Skippers with tourists and travellers eager to experience life at the sea,” Giana, an employee with Antlos commented. She continued to say “the business model is inspired by the philosophy of sharing-economy, offering a real opportunity for users to start earning from the rental of their boat. Antlos makes boat holidays accessible to those who love the sea, but due to lack of experience and high costs have never managed to set the sails yet.”
