Key
What we want to tag and why
There is a growing community of boat sharing in Switzerland (and probably also elsewhere), there are two nation wide operators with a total of more than 100 sailboats in about 50 marinas. If you're member with either of the operators, you can use all boats. This is different from boat_renting, since there are (currently) no nation-wide rental services, you do not have to be a member for rental, and the boats do not "belong" to you. On the other hand, being member of a boat sharing operator, you "own" your boats. But I agree, there are some similarities between boat sharing and boat renting.
The idea is to show where the boat you rent is exactly located, and help to reserve also the nearest boat to you.
Possible Solutions
I see three possible solutions:
1. Follow the same path as used for cars: having different tags: amenity=car_rental, amenity=car_sharing. The main argument for this is that normally, the interest group is different. Either I'm part of a car sharing community, and thus would normally not rent a car at a car_sharing.
2. Group features together according to subject, e.g. amenity=boat_to_use, type=rental;sharing;pooling" (this was suggest on the "Boat_Rental" page. (amenity=boat_rental exists 429 times)
3. Group features together according action, e.g. rental=*, sharing=*, ... this was suggest on the rental page.
=> From current usage, I conclude that option 1 would be most accepted.
Additional tags
| Key | Value | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|
| optional | capacity=* | integer | The number of boats present. Should be used if several boats are side by side an not everyone is individually tagged. |
| mandatory | operator=* | string | The boat sharing operator |
| optional | website=* | string | operators website, if possible direct link to the boat description |
| optional | name=* | string | the name of the boat (if there is only 1 boat) |
| optional | boattype=* | string | the type of boat, e.g. manufacturer, series number etc. |
| optional | ref=* | integer | The operator ref for the boat |
| optional | number_plate=* | string | the official boat immatriculation number which is on the number plate - in the picture above, this will be "ZH 9733" |
More standard tags which might be applicable are: image=* and description=*
Suggested Rendering
In analogy to car_sharing, boat_sharing could be rendered as follows:

Boat sharing operators
- Germany bootschaft, and here also more a "Membership Boating concept" Boatsharing Berlin
- In Britain, this seems to be called "Membership Boating or Boat Share", tough it seems to be a bit different concept?. List of British operators
And yes, it seems to exist for motorboats as well:
