Float, Rally, Repeat: It’s Better On The Water
Last Updated on November 5, 2025 by Boatsetter Team
Pickleball has officially gone overboard.
This season, Boatsetter is turning Miami’s love for the game into something completely new: a floating pickleball experience that blends sport, sunshine, and the energy of life on the water. Anchored off the coast of Miami, the custom floating court will debut alongside one of Boatsetter’s standout vessels, The Jerico. Known for its high-end service and built-in floating water park, The Jerico captures everything people love about a day on the water in Miami—easy, bright, and full of movement.
Guests can rally on the court or unwind on deck, the city skyline in the distance. The goal isn’t competition so much as connection. In Miami, most Boatsetter charters are booked by groups, and nearly half include friends splitting the cost for a shared experience. A few volleys, some laughter, and a story to take home—that’s what a day like this is really about.
Why Pickleball Works on the Water
Pickleball has quickly become a shared pastime across the country, and Florida leads the way with more players than any other state. Bringing it to the water adds a sense of openness that feels right for Miami. Boatsetter has seen group bookings in the city climb more than 20 percent year over year, showing how travelers and locals alike are finding new ways to spend time together on the water. The floating court turns that trend into something tangible—a fresh, social experience designed for the kind of memories that only happen on the water.
A Miami Original
Miami leads all Boatsetter markets for lifestyle and leisure charters, with bookings up 22 percent year over year. The floating court fits perfectly into that energy, blending sport and relaxation in a way that reflects the city’s rhythm—colorful, creative, and always ready for something unexpected. It’s more than a game; it’s a moment that captures why life here really is better on the water.
How to Experience It
Every boat day feels a little different when you make it your own. With Boatsetter’s add-ons, you can bring your dog along, dive in with snorkeling gear, keep drinks cold with a stocked cooler and ice, or float the afternoon away on mats made for relaxing.
Now, there’s a new way to play on the water. The floating pickleball court is an exciting new add-on available exclusively on The Jerico beginning November 30.
Before bookings open, Boatsetter is giving guests the chance to try it first. The floating pickleball giveaway launches November 4, offering winners a day on the water at Haulover Sandbar with the court, the crew, and the Miami views that make this experience unforgettable.
Enter the giveaway by November 19 for a chance to win. Winners will be announced November 20 on Instagram.
