How Nezt helps

• Hotels near the port are full or far away

  Send one free request with the port or site, your dates and headcount. Hosts with a home within 15 miles send offers, typically within 8 minutes.

• The crew wants to stay together

  Many places are whole houses that sleep 6 or more, with a kitchen and living space. For bigger crews, book several homes close together.

• Headcount changes with the weather window

  Make another request whenever the crew grows and book more homes nearby. Each listing shows its cancellation policy before you book.

• Long builds and maintenance contracts

  Book from one night to many months. Many hosts offer weekly or monthly discounts, and stays of 60 nights or more can be paid monthly.

• Accounts need proper paperwork

  Companies get an invoice in the company’s name, and on average Nezt is 25% cheaper than Airbnb and other booking sites.

• Remote landfalls and hill sites

  If nothing is listed nearby, send a request anyway. Our team on the phone, WhatsApp and email will help you find somewhere.
