Description:
Essentially a mix between Uber and AIRBNB for boats. An app that allows people to enjoy/rent boats owned by other people. Say its a nice day and you want to go out on a lake with a group of friends, but you don't own a boat. You can just open up the app put the location of the lake in. Put how much time you want to use the boat, then pick from a list of boats in the area. If you have a boat you can sign up to let people use your boat, or you can captain your boat. It would be cheaper than renting a boat from a marina and it would be a lot more convenient. Not every lake has a marina on it with boat rental. Buoy would allow people to enjoy the water from any river, lake, or ocean all over the world. And like Uber and AIRBNB it would be a way for people to make another form of income with something they already own.
