Traditionally boating has been enjoyed by an older and predominantly male demographic. However, Boatsetter is breaking down barriers and making boating accessible, affordable, convenient, and fun for everyone. For the first time since launching in 2014, women make up half of all Boatsetter renters - climbing from 43 percent in 2021 to 50 percent in 2023. Nearly 70 percent of Boatsetter users are under the age of 44.

To date, Boatsetter has gotten more than one million boaters and boat owners alike to discover the endless possibilities the water provides.

“At Boatsetter, we have a ‘sea’s the limit’ approach to water experiences—if you want to get on the water, we’re here to make that happen,” said Michael Farb, CEO of Boatsetter.

Boatsetter’s flexible booking features mean travelers can tack boating onto any occasion including family vacations, birthday parties, and fun outings on the weekend. The company’s “Instant Book” feature allows renters to get out on the water the same day they book. Renters can also find varying trip durations, from half or full-day boat rentals to 2, 3, and 6-hour excursions, and even multi-day reservations on the Boatsetter platform.
