I had an AMAZING experience with Boatsetter.com
I am extremely happy with my experience using Boatsetter.com. I was able to compare numerous types of boats and choose the option that met my needs. I was able to book the boat I chose directly and received confirmation communication from the owner surprisingly quickly. She communicated with me as needed up until the voyage. The boat was exactly as described in the add, maybe better. The experience with the crew was stellar and I highly recommend Boatsetter.com if you are looking for a boat rental. I have also recommended it to friends and will definitely use it again.

Well worth it!
The boat was gorgeous and looked brand new. The staff friendly and accommodating beyond my expectations-and I set those high. It was exactly how I wanted to spend the day with friends-relaxing, cruising the intracoastal while snacking and sipping beverages. Well worth it!

Amazing boat owners!
Johanna and Quentin were so accommodating with the time but also with last minutes requests. It feels really different to see owners who genuinely cares about your experience and not just for money. We will come next year and definitely book both, our vacation property and this boat with them, ma family is greatful and has a fantastic time from the reservation to the check out. Thank you 🙏

Easy to find a boat in the location I was looking for, but I was unable to load and use the app, even after several tries and email exchanges. It woudl not load. All in all - great experience though.

Thank you for providing this feedback, Tom and we're very sorry to hear that you experienced this issue.
Sometimes, issues like this can arise if the app needs to be updated. We usually recommend deleting the app and then reinstalling it to ensure it's up to date and has the most recent bug fixes. If you are still experiencing the same issue after doing this, you can also try using the website instead of the app by logging into the website via you're phone's web browser.
If there is anything else we can assist you with, please let us know!
