Water Transport

β›΅ Booking a Boat Ride

Graham Island has coastlines, inlets, and communities only reachable by water. Ride N Share connects you with private boat owners for safe, affordable water crossings. Great for also sightseeing places like the hot springs or Gwaii Haanas together.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Point-to-Point

Choose your departure and destination point on the coast. Captains set their available routes and schedules.

βš“

Verified Captains

Every boat captain uploads their marine operator certificate, vessel registration, and boat insurance before going live.

πŸ’°

Same Payment Options

Pay for boat rides the same as car rides β€” credit or bank card, skills, or crypto. The lowest fees in the industry.

⚠️ Safety Notice: All water crossings are at the discretion of the captain and passenger. Ride N Share is a platform connecting private boat owners with riders. We are not a marine transportation company. Always wear a life jacket and check weather conditions before any water crossing. Ride N Share is not liable for any accidents, mishaps, or incidents occurring during boat rides.
The Innovation

🀝 How Skill Share Works

Trade what you know for where you need to go. The world's first ride-for-skill smart contract system.

1️⃣

Request a Ride, Propose a Trade

When booking, instead of selecting a payment method, choose "Skill Share." Describe your skill and what you're offering.

2️⃣

Negotiate Freely

Both parties chat in-app to agree on the terms β€” what skill, how many hours, when the work will happen, and a default penalty amount if either party can't fulfill.

3️⃣

Smart Contract is Created

Once both agree, a binding smart contract is deployed on the Arbitrum blockchain. Gas fees are fractions of a cent. Both parties sign digitally.

4️⃣

Ride Happens, Fee is Deducted

The ride completes. A small skill share fee is automatically deducted from both parties via their preferred payment method.

5️⃣

Skill Work is Completed

The agreed skill work takes place. Both parties mark the contract complete. If there's a dispute, the auto-hold system kicks in for review.

⚠️ Disclaimer: Ride N Share facilitates skill share agreements but is not a party to them. We are not responsible for the quality of work, disputes between parties, or outcomes of skill share contracts. Users enter into skill share agreements at their own risk. All terms are between the two consenting parties.
