Skipperi started growing fast and became the market leader in the nordics and aimed to be the biggest boat club in the world. Enabling both better utilisation of existing privately owned boats, but also onboarding a whole new generation and audience by providing boating as a service. Both part as city transportation as just a fun membership to boat as much as you like without the hassle and much lower cost. Skipperi worked together with cities, boatclubs and industry providers to get this to happen. Combining modern way of boating where owning is something of the past with established ways of good service, good spots and just good boats!
