Boating Directory Guides
How does the peer-to-peer boat rental captain system work?
If you book a bareboat charter, you operate the boat yourself and must comply with state licensing cutoffs. Alternatively, most listings offer a selection of pre-verified USCG-licensed captains that you can hire directly through the platform. Choosing a captained charter fully waives any personal boating card laws!
What insurance policies are active on the rental platform?
All bookings completed through our secure checkout partner, Boatsetter, feature comprehensive commercial insurance. This includes up to $1M in water liability, hull damage protection, and 24/7 dedicated water-towing assistance (via Sea Tow or TowBoatUS) for complete safety.
What are the USCG rules regarding passenger limits?
Under federal law, standard uninspected passenger vessels (6-pack) can legally carry up to 6 passengers with a captain. P2P bareboat charters allow up to 12 passengers plus the charterer, provided the charterer selects and hires the captain independently. Any group size exceeding 12 passengers must utilize USCG certified Subchapter T commercial charter vessels.
