Antlos

Article summary

Antlos was an online platform that connects tourists and travelers with skippers who own and operate private marine vessels (yachts, smaller boats, etc.). It was bought in 2018 by Sailogy, a company offering similar services. Antlos matched tourists with boat captains providing access to their vessel while also sailing the ship to an agreed upon destination or destinations (typically in and around the Mediterranean Sea and Caribbean Sea). Some skippers offered all-inclusive trips with amenities like lodging and food. The company was founded in Venice, Italy in 2014 as part of the business incubator, H-FARM Ventures and bought by Sailogy in 2018.
