Obato Now on iPhone & iPad — Download in the App Store

Quick update for our iOS watersports enthusiasts: the Obato app is now live in the Apple App Store. This means Obato — Europe’s largest marketplace for buying, selling, and renting boats and watersports equipment — is now available on both iPhone & iPad and Android. Also, read our previous general app announcement for all features in detail.

• iPhone & iPad: Obato in the App Store
• Android: Obato on Google Play

Why a dedicated iOS version?

A significant portion of our Dutch, German, and Italian community navigates and searches using an iPhone. With a dedicated iOS app, you get the same speed, push notifications, and deep links as on Android — verified via Apple Universal Links, ensuring that a shared boat link opens directly in the app if you have it installed.

What you get in the app

• Complete listings: buy and rent, across Europe, with the same filters as on the website.
• Bo, your first mate: ask questions about models, prices, marinas, or documentation — directly in the app.
• Real-time notifications: save a search and get a push notification on your device as soon as a match comes online.
• Secure chat with buyers, sellers, and renters via one central messaging system.
• Fast advertising: upload photos directly from the quay and get your ad live within minutes.

One account, all devices

You use your existing Obato account. Favorites, saved searches, and ongoing conversations automatically synchronize between obato.eu, the iPhone app, and the Android app.
