‘Record growth’ for Austrian marina booking platform

Austrian start-up Seasy, which launched a marina booking platform in 2020, has experienced ‘record growth’ since its inception.

The firm says the number of active users on the platform is now at over 2,000 daily users in the high season, and the number of berth bookings facilitated through the app has reached 12,000.

Several prominent investors backed the Austrian start-up and recently closed a seven-figure round.

The Seasy booking system is designed to enable hassle-free berth bookings across Europe, and currently has marinas signed up in 16 countries and regions, including Italy, Croatia and Spain.

The start of the season saw over 200 marinas onboarded, with a further 80 estimated by the end of the season, averaging a new marina every two days.

To facilitate this 300 per cent growth, Seasy says it has also tripled its team leading the charge with regular new hires in IT & Sales.

“We are incredibly grateful for the unwavering support we are receiving from the boating community, and we are determined to amplify our current efforts to bring even more features to our platform,” says Seasy founder Niklas Baumgartner.

He adds: “We are proud of all our users, customers, team members, and investors helping us achieve our vision — improving and providing the most seamless booking experience on the sea. We are very excited to show this season again what Seasy is capable of.”

Seasy is also cooperating with the European Space Agency (ESA) to develop new technologies that will provide users with more destination-specific information.
