In the United States alone, there are over 5.5 billion days worth of idle capacity in boats 20 ft. to 50 ft., representing a supply surplus that has not been matched with demand. In 18 months, BoatSetter has launched a web platform, akin to Airbnb, that connects boat renters with owners and captains. It has established exclusive strategic relationships with marinas in key markets, developed a captain pool of 1,000 on-call captains, and purchased the first of its kind insurance product for boat rentals.
