FAQ
Questions captains and owners actually ask
Where is Boatur available?
We’re preparing to launch in Florida and California first, with additional regions to follow. Captains and owners in these states can join the Founding Fleet now.
How much does Boatur cost?
Founding captains and hosts pay 0% platform fees in Year 1. After that, Boatur charges a simple, transparent percentage designed to respect your margins - not erase them.
Do I keep control over who uses my vessel?
Yes. You approve or decline every booking. There are no automatic assignments and no surprises - your vessel, your call.
What about safety and liability?
Boater Safety ID is required for operators, and every trip includes Voyage Departure & Arrival Waivers to document vessel condition. Voyage Insurance is planned as an additional layer of protection.
What if I’m not ready to list yet?
You can still create your profile, follow along with product updates, and be first in line when we open your marina or region. Early voices shape the platform the most.
