Boatsetter

Boatsetter is a Fort Lauderdale, Florida founded and Miami headquartered peer-to-peer boat rental marketplace that connects boat owners with renters and with United States Coast Guard licensed captains. Founded in 2012, the platform lists more than 50,000 boats across 600 to 700 locations worldwide and 20,000 makes and models, spanning fishing boats, pontoons, sailboats, party boats, watersports vessels and luxury yacht charters, bookable either bareboat or with a captain. Boatsetter layers identity verification, an insurance program underwritten through its Buoy partnership, payments, messaging, calendar and pricing tools for owners, and trust and safety on top of owner supplied inventory, and takes a marketplace commission on each booking. The company also operates a separate Boatsetter Owner application for hosts, and in December 2025 announced a merger with Getmyboat to form a combined boat rental marketplace expected to process roughly 500 million dollars in bookings across 50 countries, with both platforms and apps continuing to operate. Boatsetter does not publish a public developer API, OpenAPI definition, SDK, developer portal, or partner API documentation; its only public GitHub presence is a single archived fork of a jQuery form serialization plugin, and its third party surface is limited to consumer facing partnerships (Airbnb) and an affiliate marketing program.

Boatsetter is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Boat Rental, Peer-to-Peer, Marketplace, Travel, and Boating.

Boatsetter’s developer surface includes support, engineering blog, signup flow, YouTube channel, and 22 more developer resources.
