Whether you're a rider looking to get out on the water or a captain with room on your boat, WakeLink makes it simple to find the right crew. How it works - Riders post what they're into — wakeboarding, wake surfing, water skiing, tubing, or just cruising - Captains browse rider profiles and send invites to who they want on their boat - Riders accept or decline, then chat directly to sort out details - After the trip, both sides leave reviews to build trust across the community For captains Always free. You're in full control of who gets on your boat — browse riders by experience level and trip type, check ratings and trip history, and invite exactly who you want. For riders Post your availability and let captains come to you. Tell them what you're into and what you bring to the table, then chat once you're matched. Built for trust and safety Every user can report or block anyone they interact with, right from the app. Reviews and ratings help the whole community make informed decisions about who they ride with.
