Turns out, A-listers love a good boat day as much as the rest of us. From Miami to the Hamptons to Barbados, celebs like Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Gavin Casalegno, and DJ Khaled have all hopped aboard with Boatsetter.

The best part? You don’t need a Hollywood paycheck to feel like one of them. With Boatsetter Lux, you can enjoy white-glove service, premium yachts, and curated itineraries designed to make every trip feel star-worthy.

Here’s a peek at how celebs have spent their time on the water — and how you can recreate the same unforgettable experiences.

Jessica Alba — Miami & Mexico Magic

Jessica Alba has made Boatsetter part of her family escapes in Miami and Mexico. She kept it relaxed and stylish — a true “fun in the sun” vibe.

Boatsetter-style itinerary to match:

  • Morning: Cruise out of Miami Beach Marina aboard a sleek motor yacht 
  • Midday: Dive into Biscayne Bay for snorkeling, then enjoy a chef-prepared spread onboard 
  • Evening: Pop champagne at golden hour with the South Beach skyline in view 

Pro tip: With Boatsetter Lux, you can customize everything — from menus to music — for a yacht day worthy of an Insta post.

Jessica Biel — Hamptons Chic

Jessica Biel took to the Hamptons for a Boatsetter escape that nailed East Coast elegance. Think understated luxury and crisp ocean air.

Recreate her day:

  • Morning: Depart Sag Harbor with a captain at the helm 
  • Midday: Picnic lunch on a quiet Long Island beach 
  • Afternoon: Dock-and-wine tasting at a vineyard by the water 
  • Evening: Return sail with soft jazz and stargazing 

Did you know? Over 50% of Boatsetter trips include a captain, so you can focus on lounging instead of navigating.

 

Gavin Casalegno — Surfside Cool in California

Actor Gavin Casalegno chose Boatsetter during the U.S. Open of Surfing in California — proving the best seat in the house is on the water.

Want his vibe? Here’s how:

  • Morning: Head out of Huntington Beach on a sport yacht 
  • Midday: Drop anchor and watch the surf competition from your own floating VIP box 
  • Evening: Cue the music and host a yacht party at sunset with friends 

DJ Khaled — Barbados Energy

DJ Khaled doesn’t do anything small, and his Barbados Boatsetter trip was no exception — full island-hopping mode.

How to boat like Khaled:

  • Morning: Luxury yacht departure from Bridgetown, stocked with jet skis and snorkel gear 
  • Midday: Swim with turtles, explore hidden coves, capture the shot 
  • Evening: Caribbean-style dinner onboard, with a soundtrack to match (because, yes, “all you do is win”).

Behind each of these A-list days is the same insider trick: Boatsetter Lux. Think premium yachts, white-glove service, and itineraries tailored to your crew.
