Our Story

RentABoat.com is a sub-corporation of Hilderbrandt Industries. For over 50 years, the Hilderbrandt family has owned and operated marine-related businesses. RentABoat.com's main operations are handled from their marina, Beaver Dam Boat Basin, in Brookhaven, New York. Beaver Dam Boat Basin is a company that specializes in boat and jet ski rentals, boat services, storage, and slip leasing.

The President and CEO of RentABoat.com, Kenny Hilderbrandt, was born and raised in New York, on Long Island. Surrounded by water, he became a passionate boater and thought, “Why not rent boats out of Beaver Dam Boat Basin?” In 2010, Kenny started the boat rental division of his marina using www.RentABoat.com as his domain name for his local website.

RentABoat is a clearinghouse and marketplace for boat rentals globally. Our platform offers boat owners full control of their online presence while also providing them with the ease of online reservations. Boat owners upload photos, describe their boats, set rates, and control their reservation calendar while reaching millions of potential boat renters worldwide. They decide who rents their boat and when and can decline any reservation. Our system also provides many online reporting tools which allow boat owners to print rental reports, boat safety checklists, rental agreements, and a renter’s boat rental history report.
