Last Updated on December 4, 2025 by Boatsetter Team
Know someone who would make a great Owner? Invite them to join the Boatsetter community and earn up to $500 when they complete their first booking with a Guest. Whether it’s a dockmate or someone who’s always dreamed of turning their boat into a side hustle, now’s the perfect time to share the opportunity.
Why refer? When you help bring more quality boats into the community, everyone benefits. More options for Guests. More visibility for Owners. And a bonus for you.
How it works

- When they set up a boat listing and complete their first booking with a Guest, you’ll receive the referral payout!
- Payouts are processed within 14 days of the completed trip
- Referrals are capped at 25 per Owner
Earn $500
- Refer a Sailboat, Ski and Wakeboard boat, or a Fishing Charter and earn $500 after they set up a listing and complete their first booking with a Guest. Our team will verify that the boat qualifies for these categories.
Earn $250

A few tips
- Think of friends with boats who aren’t yet listing, your cousin with a pontoon on Lake Minnetonka, or the fishing charter you went out with last Spring in St. Pete.
- Share your experience as an Owner, and how much money you’ve made listing with Boatsetter.
- Highlight the perks: it’s free to list, schedule flexibility, and dedicated Owner support, and can offset the cost of boat ownership
- Share this Earnings Estimator if your friends own a sailboat or a ski and wakeboard boat to give an estimate of how much they could make listing their boat.
This is your chance to make some cash to spread the word.
