Our Story

From Vision to Reality

BoatSaga was born from a simple observation: the maritime marketplace needed a modern, intelligent platform that could keep pace with today's digital expectations.

Founded by Are Kirkebak Terjesen, a Norwegian web designer with a background in economics from Regent's University London, BoatSaga represents the convergence of global business acumen and cutting-edge technology.

With experience living and working across seven countries - Norway, Denmark, Saudi Arabia, the United States, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and France - Are brings a truly international perspective to the platform. This global experience, combined with fluency in six languages, ensures BoatSaga is built from the ground up to serve a diverse, worldwide community.

The AI Advantage

What makes BoatSaga unique is its foundation in artificial intelligence. Rather than following traditional development paths, the platform was built by strategically leveraging AI to create a sophisticated, feature-rich marketplace in record time - without compromising quality or user experience.

This AI-powered approach enables rapid iteration, intelligent features like smart search and pricing recommendations, and a level of sophistication typically reserved for platforms with much larger development teams.

Today, BoatSaga serves users across the globe, facilitating seamless boat transactions while maintaining the human touch that makes every deal special. We're more than a marketplace - we're a community united by our love for the water.

Our journey has just begun, and we're excited to have you aboard.
