Boat

The page details credential profiles, managing multiple AI accounts (e.g., Claude or ChatGPT), custom APIs, AI usage tracking, and proxy tools to protect sandbox keys.

Create scoped, expiring boat API keys, use them as bearer tokens, and revoke a leaked key.

Run GitHub Actions jobs on boat sandboxes with runs-on: boat, or drive boat from any CI with the CLI.

Every boat CLI command and flag: install, sign in, create, run, stop, resume, fork, snapshots, public URLs, environments, prompts, billing. JSON output for scripts and CI.

A boat-funded study from June 2026 compared the cost, time, and error rates of building a Devin clone across boat, E2B, Daytona, exe, and Islo. It also details which sandbox lifecycles succeeded.

Notes from building boat: sandbox benchmarks, infrastructure decisions, and what coding agents actually do inside their machines.

OpenFactory converts GitHub, Linear, and Sentry issues into planned, tested, and reviewed pull requests. The page explains how to deploy and customize the pipeline on boat.

AI agents run untrusted code, need Docker, and keep long-lived state. A look at where container sandboxes break down, how microVM sandboxes compare, and why boat gives every agent a full VM.

The page covers changing payment cards, accessing invoices and receipts, adding a VAT ID, upgrading or downgrading plans, cancellations, refunds, and transferring plans between personal and organizational accounts.

The 7-day free trial: a card is required, 25 hours of compute, 2 sandboxes at once, 2-hour auto-stop, no large sizes. How it ends, how to cancel it, and how to lift the limits.

The page outlines what is included in a boat plan, overage charges, payment methods, auto top-up, bonus tables, billing commands, per-sandbox costs, spending controls, and wallet depletion effects.

Cost per hour of each sandbox size, what a plan includes, what the wallet pays, and prices compared to E2B, Modal and Daytona.

boat gives each agent a full Linux VM with KVM, systemd, SSH and a disk. Blaxel runs Firecracker microVMs that sleep after the last connection and wake in 25 ms.

boat gives every sandbox its own VM. Daytona starts with containers and adds Linux VM, Windows, macOS and GPU classes. Limits and prices compared.

boat vs E2B: boat runs full VMs from $0.036/h with nested virtualization and no session cap once auto-stop is off. E2B pauses with memory and wakes on request.

boat vs Modal Sandboxes: full VMs that save their disk on their own and resume after a stop, versus gVisor or VM sandboxes with GPUs and global regions.

The page explains how to contact the boat team via email or Discord and what information to include for faster assistance.

Persistent Linux VMs for AI agents with SSH, Docker and fast fork. $0.036/h for 4 vCPU / 8 GB, billed per second, from $20/mo. No compute charge while stopped; the disk is kept for at least 14 days. 7-day free trial with a card.

Privacy Policy for boat cloud sandbox services.

The page describes how to close an account, reopen it within 30 days, or permanently erase it for a GDPR erasure request.

How long boat keeps each kind of data, stop versus delete, zero data retention, and the records that stay after a deletion.

Delete a sandbox, its snapshots or a saved snapshot for good, follow the deletion until the data is erased, and what a delete keeps.
