How does the insurance work? Do I have to have my own?
Under USCG rules, you are required to have some kind of commercial charter policy covering your boat during rentals. You can either choose to provide your own, or use the peer to peer program we provide through GEICO and BoatUS. Please note you must have a personal recreational policy in order to be approved for our program.
Does Boatsetter screen renters?
Yes! We verify all of our renters through a service called Cognito, designed to make sure payment information matches a renter’s identity. For your safety and that of your boats, we also have an age policy in place determining that a renter must be at least 18 years old to rent out a captained charter, and at least 25 years old to rent out a bareboat charter.
Is listing free?
Yes! We work hard to help you succeed, which means we don’t have any kind of listing fee. We take a commission off of completed rentals, meaning we only make money when you do!
How does payment work?
We handle all payments associated with the rental. Prior to the trip, we collect the total value of the trip from the renter, in addition to holding a $500 security deposit on your behalf. Once the trip is completed, we pay you, our owner, within 48 hours of completion.
