Viravira, founded in 2016, operates a yacht charter marketplace that connects boat owners with travelers seeking maritime vacations. The platform enables direct bookings for bareboat rentals through fully crewed luxury yacht experiences across more than 12,000 listed vessels in over 60 countries. The company's geographic reach spans Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean.
Based in Istanbul, Turkey, the company emphasizes a data-driven engineering culture, shipping quickly and iterating frequently. Its platform incorporates verified listings and a protection programme called SailSecure, which the company describes as a core element of its approach to building trust between boat owners and charterers.
Viravira positions itself as a marketplace-first business in the maritime and travel sectors, matching supply from vessel owners with demand from leisure travelers through a technology platform rather than operating its own fleet.
