History

Yachtico was founded by Steffen Bruenn in 2010 and launched the yacht vacation booking platform in May 2011 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with a European focus.[2][3]

Yachtico started with almost 10,000 yachts operated by local charter companies mainly in Europe and in the Caribbean. The company's initial investment came through the founder and angel investors in US, Germany and Switzerland.[4][5]

The beta version of the site went live in May 2011.[6]

In 2015, Yachtico moved its headquarter to the United States. The company's team has a joint history with Research Park at Florida Atlantic University and hired some of their key people directly from the Florida Atlantic University.[7] The company then announced the creation of 50 new jobs in Boca Raton.[8][9]

In 2017, Yachtico was the winner of the "Florida Companies to Watch" award.[10]

In 2020, Yachtico was listed among the Top 3 yacht charter companies in the U.S. for bare boat charters.[11]
