Don’t Waste Your Money on the Insurance
I paid for extra insurance, and it didn’t even cover a small incident. Then, before my deposit had even finished processing, I received a legal threat even though I had already explained I would pay as soon as the funds were released.
Very disappointing customer service and a frustrating experience overall. I won’t be using Boatsetter again.

Celebration of life
We could not have asked for a better day. Captain Rick, the boat, the weather and most importantly our family. Our sister would have loved today. We will miss her dearly and know that she is watching over us. Thank you for making this day special.
SCAM APP
Do not use this app the boat owners are not listing at the price they charge customer service is trash this is a headache DO NOT BOOK THROUGH THIS APP
not a great app
a couple of observations. 1. Changing my password was a horrible experience. Likely because I had initially logged in from chrome and then attempted log into the app that I had subsequently downloaded. 2. The use case was editing an inquiry which was not a complete edit. I could not edit the duration from 3 to 4 hours nor could I change the number of people. In addition there was no obvious way to delete the inquiry and start over. These are pretty fundamental editing items that I would’ve thought would’ve been caught during the initial testing phase of this application.

Bait and Switch. Zero Accountability. Stay Far Away.
I booked a boat through this platform - instantly confirmed, charged in full, confirmation number and everything. Seemed seamless. It wasn’t.
45 minutes before our family boat day, I called the owner to check in. He told me his boat was already rented to someone else. That’s right - double-booked. Paid, confirmed, and completely abandoned.
What followed was a masterclass in corporate incompetence. Their support team promised callback after callback - none came. Instead, I got vague, unhelpful texts that said absolutely nothing. No urgency, no apology, no real solution.
Their idea of “making it right”? A 10% discount toward a last-minute reservation on a smaller, lesser boat. Sounds generous until you look at the math: that replacement boat carried a 25% surcharge, making it more expensive than the original — not cheaper. A booking that should have cost roughly $40 less ended up costing 20% more. That’s not compensation. That’s an insult dressed up as a favor.
And when I pushed back? They blamed the owners. Classic. Build a marketplace, take the booking fees, collect the money — then point fingers the moment something goes wrong.
This company had every opportunity to make this right and chose not to at every single turn. If you’re planning a family day on the water, do yourself a favor and book literally anywhere else. This platform is not worth your money, your time, or your trust.

Scammed out of our deposit
The boat was dirty when we arrived and the owner is taking our entire deposit because of some foot prints left in the boat (it was pitch black when we returned to the dock so we only cleaned the boat when we got on it). The owner sent his elderly mother to meet us and she knew very little about the operating the boat and had to read from a legal pad to tell us how to disconnect the battery and operate it. Seriously, just rent a boat at an actual marina and don’t try to save a few bucks like we did…

Easy way to rent a boat
I have used this app to rent boats and it is the easiest way and a lot less expensive than renting from a lot of the big boat rental sites.
Great adventure
We rent a boat to celebrate my husband’s birthday . We enjoy so much ! Did snorkel , hear good music and enjoy the water . 10/10 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 captain Rob was amazing !
Can’t trust any reservations to be secure
Tried booking a few times and the owners always cancelled. It was frustrating to not be able to rely on any booking.
Great platform
Boatsetter is a great platform. It has high quality renters. Much better than Get my Boat.
Wonderful time on the water time & time again!
5 stars plus!!!
Home on a boat
They were amazing from the moment we set foot they made us feel incredibly welcomed and were proactive in whatever we needed. They organized things from us and handled a lot of details. Thank you Valentina and Humberto!!
Sucks
Suck it
Horrible service
After making one booking with them the host cancelled last minute, he claimed his fee was not really $4,000 for the whole 6 hour trip but $18,000 instead so he cancelled. I reached out to support letting them know this was very inconvenient given it was too close to New Year’s Eve, so I asked him to please send me a list of filtered results that were in fact available, they just scraped a list of options that were also not available, they didn’t bother to take the time to really find available boats. Just be aware you can’t plan ahead trusting a booking here it’s a done deal, very likely the rate you are shown is deceiving and you’ll end up being canceled on or Paying up to 5 times more.
