Whatever body of water is near your location, Boatsetter brings friends and family together on all types— oceans, bays and inland lakes and rivers. With my own Boatsetter yachting experience, I appreciated the Captain's extreme local knowledge of the waterways we were traversing. I learned that boat owners and Captains available through the service can deliver unique itineraries and make recommendations for local restaurants, sandbars, party coves, things to do and places to see to ensure you make meaningful maritime memories.
