Boatsetter and Getmyboat are booking platforms: the owner sets the boat price, and the platform adds a renter service fee. Getmyboat’s help center puts its fee at up to 13% plus a flat $20; Boatsetter’s help page lists a service fee without a percentage, plus a 10% fee on add-ons.
None of the operators in our directory publishes its price through a Boatsetter listing; 1 does through a Getmyboat listing. We do not rate either platform.
