Boatsetter

Holiday advice from Guests: “We charter with a captain so we can focus on the fun while someone operates the boat, especially when family comes to town.” Whether you're hosting or visiting, lock-in a Captained cruise with family during Thanksgiving weekend for quality time on the water.

Since 2012, Boatsetter has made it possible for boat owners, boat rental operators, and Captains to earn additional income and spend time doing what they love– being out on the water. This Veteran’s Day, we’re proud to empower veterans and active duty military to pursue on-the-water entrepreneurship. In partnership with Mariners Learning System?, we are giving away three scholarships to cover the joint cost of an approved United States Coast Guard (USCG) Captain's license course and exam. Over 3,000 veterans are already captaining Boatsetter trips or leading fishing trips on the platform. Richard, a retired Navy veteran and passionate angler takes guests fishing on his 18 ft Lowe Boat in Virginia Beach, Virginia. “Having served the American people for 23 years as a Navy Diver, time on the water has always been constant. Fishing is a powerful opportunity for reflection and processing, and learning how much a day on the water can do for a person's well being has been one of the greatest lessons.” Veterans and current members of the U.S. Armed Forces can apply for the scholarship here: https://bit.ly/4fHUHPW. Submissions close at Midnight ET on November 18, 2024. Mariners Learning System? is extending a 10% discount on courses with the code BOATSETTER10.?Mystery Tackle Box is also providing a complimentary 6-month Pro Plan subscription to the scholarship recipients.
