    Our Story

    Zizoo is the leading boat holiday platform, offering over 44,000 boats across 500 destinations worldwide. We cater both to licensed sailors looking to book a boat only, and to those with no sailing experience, interested in hiring a boat together with a captain and optional crew. Zizoo makes it easy for travellers to find the right boat by simplifying the selection and booking process.

    Named after one of Jacques Cousteau's nicknames, Zizoo’s mission is to make boat holidays accessible and easy to book for everyone. We’re a team of passionate sailors with strong industry ties, which allows us to give our customers expert advice, and a price-match guarantee on verified and insured boats.
