Partnerships Manager (London-Based, Full-Time or Part-Time)
About Boatsy
At Boatsy, we’re not here to rent boats—we’re here to reinvent how people experience the sea.
We’ve built the world’s first experience-led sailing marketplace, designed not for seasoned sailors but for a new generation of travelers seeking joy, connection, and discovery on the water. Our platform hosts over 14,000 boats across 100 of the world’s most spectacular routes, from the Cyclades to the Caribbean—each itinerary thoughtfully crafted with local experts.
Instead of focusing on technical specs or bareboat listings, we deliver curated, crewed journeys—complete with verified captain profiles, transparent pricing, and our free concierge service that helps guests choose the right route, boat, and onboard experience.
Whether it’s a family escape, a romantic retreat, or a members-only flotilla, we make it effortless to enjoy a seamless, luxury-level holiday at sea.
We’re based in the UK, operating globally, and tapping into a $65B luxury holiday market that’s ripe for disruption. As a fast-growing, founder-led company, Boatsy offers the chance to help shape a product, brand, and culture with real impact.
We’re now looking for a London-based Partnerships Manager to drive the expansion of our brand collaborations and membership club partnerships, bringing Boatsy to premium audiences through trusted lifestyle and travel channels.
