A vacation should start with the sea breeze, not a spreadsheet.

We planned a week at the beach with family: cousins, kids, coolers, and a rental house three blocks from the sand. What we didn't plan was the three-day scavenger hunt that came next.

The problem

Finding a golf cart meant cross-referencing a dozen Facebook groups, three outdated rental websites, and a handful of paper flyers taped to marina bulletin boards. Half the carts were already booked. The other half had no photos, no price, and no clear rules about street-legality or delivery. By the time we found something, the owner had moved on to another caller.

E-bikes and scooters were worse. We called shops, left voicemails, and drove to three different storefronts only to learn inventory had walked out the door that morning. What should have been a relaxing arrival day turned into a stressful chase.

The idea

We kept thinking: there has to be a better way. Vacationers want a simple, trusted place to see what's actually available, compare real options, and book in minutes. Hosts — the homeowners and small-business owners who already own these vehicles — want an easy way to earn income without becoming full-time rental managers.

So we built Cruise & Scoot: a marketplace that connects guests with local hosts for golf carts, e-bikes, scooters, mopeds, and motorcycles in coastal communities. Real listings, real availability, and a booking experience that feels like the rest of your trip — simple.

What we believe

Coastal towns are best experienced slowly. A street-legal cart to the coffee shop, an e-bike to the pier, a scooter down the causeway — these are the moments that make a vacation memorable. Our job is to remove the friction so you can get to those moments faster.
