About Boatsetter
Boatsetter is the leading peer-to-peer boat rental marketplace, making boating accessible to everyone. It allows boat owners to monetize their vessels by renting them out to pre-screened renters. Owners have the option to rent their boat "bareboat" (renter drives) or with a US Coast Guard-licensed captain, which opens up the market to people who don't know how to sail.
For boat owners, this is a legitimate way to offset the high costs of docking, maintenance, and insurance. Boatsetter provides hull and liability insurance from GEICO/BoatUS during the rental period. It also provides gig work opportunities for licensed captains who can be hired to pilot the rentals.
