Happycharter is once again among the winners of the prestigious ‘Germany’s Best Online Portals’ award in 2026. This marks the second year running that the yacht charter portal operated by Yachtino GmbH has been recognised in the ‘Yacht Charter’ category.

The ‘Germany’s Best Online Portals 2026’ award is presented by the German Institute for Service Quality (DISQ) and the news channel ntv. The award is based on an extensive consumer survey, in which a total of 45,515 customer opinions were analysed this year.

A total of 605 online portals from numerous sectors were assessed. In the yacht charter category, Happycharter is among the award-winning portals, alongside ADAC Skipper and Master Yachting.

Award based on customer feedback

For the assessment, consumers were surveyed about their personal experiences with the respective online portals. The focus was on the areas of product range and service, customer service, and the website and app. In addition, customers’ willingness to recommend the respective portal to others was factored into the assessment.

This is precisely why this latest award is particularly significant to us: it is not based on the decision of a panel of experts, but on the experiences and reviews of users.

Happycharter honoured for the second year running

Happycharter was already among the winners in the yacht charter category back in 2025. The fact that our portal has now been recognised once again in 2026 reaffirms our commitment to the continuous development of Happycharter.

For many years, we have been bringing charter companies and water sports enthusiasts from numerous countries together on Happycharter. Our range extends from sailing yachts and catamarans to motorboats and houseboats, right through to exclusive luxury yachts with a crew.

In addition to our wide selection of charter yachts, we place particular emphasis on a user-friendly search function, an international focus and the ongoing technical development of our platform.

“We are, of course, delighted that Happycharter has been voted one of the best online portals for yacht charter by users for the second year running. For us, this award is a wonderful endorsement of our daily work and, at the same time, an incentive to continuously develop Happycharter further,” says Carsten Rettig, Managing Director of Yachtino GmbH.

This is already the third award for Yachtino GmbH

For Yachtino GmbH, Happycharter’s success is also part of a small success story.

Back in 2024, boat-and-yacht.com was honoured at the ‘Germany’s Best Online Portals’ awards in the ‘Boat Sales & Purchases’ category. In 2025, we received two awards: once again for boat-and-yacht.com and, for the first time, for Happycharter in the yacht charter category.

With Happycharter receiving the award once again in 2026, this marks the third year running that a portal from Yachtino GmbH has been named among Germany’s best online portals.

We are particularly proud of this – and would like to thank our users, charter companies, partners and, of course, our entire team for their trust and support.

Thank you very much!
