Ditch the Snow for Sun and Sea: Use Boatsetter to Create New Holiday Traditions

Leading Boat Rental Marketplace Offers Fun, Affordable Options to Create Holiday Magic on the Water

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With the winter holidays approaching, Boatsetter, the leading mobile app for boat rentals, charters, and on-water experiences, is encouraging holiday revelers to “just add water” to their festivities and spend the season at sea – finding ways to create new traditions by setting sail with family and friends on a nearby lake, bay or any other warm-water destination.

With more than 50,000 boats in over 700 global locations, Boatsetter makes getting on the water as easy as calling a rideshare. With no sign-up fees or membership dues, the company’s easy to use app and simplified booking process allows anyone – with or without prior boating experience - to browse, book, and go.

“The holiday season is about spending quality time with loved ones, and what better way to do that than on a boat?” said Michael Farb, Boatsetter CEO. “Boatsetter is here to help with that—imagine hosting friendsgiving onboard, being part of a lighted boat parade, or securing the best view for New Year’s Eve fireworks right on the water.”

Some holiday excursions available from Boatsetter this winter include:

• A pontoon party in Destin where you can take in unparalleled views of dolphins, sea turtles, manatees, and the beautiful Florida Panhandle with up to 12 guests.
• A day of offshore fishing and cruising in Islamorada. Spend the day reeling in your first catch, then later enjoy one of the Florida Keys’ infamous sunsets.
• A luxury sailing experience in St. Augustine on board the aptly named “Serenity” sailboat. Learn to sail or just relax under the careful watch of a U.S. Coast Guard certified captain.
• A two-day overnight charter for the extended family in Turks and Caicos. Escape to a private beach of your choosing on board a luxury yacht complete with crew.
