Boatsetter
Boatsetter is a Fort Lauderdale, Florida founded and Miami headquartered peer-to-peer boat rental marketplace that connects boat owners with renters and with United States Coast Guard licensed captains. Founded in 2012, the platform lists more than 50,000 boats across 600 to 700 locations worldwide and 20,000 makes and models, spanning fishing boats, pontoons, sailboats, party boats, watersports vessels and luxury yacht charters, bookable either bareboat or with a captain. Boatsetter layers identity verification, an insurance program underwritten through its Buoy partnership, payments, messaging, calendar and pricing tools for owners, and trust and safety on top of owner supplied inventory, and takes a marketplace commission on each booking. The company also operates a separate Boatsetter Owner application for hosts, and in December 2025 announced a merger with Getmyboat to form a combined boat rental marketplace expected to process roughly 500 million dollars in bookings across 50 countries, with both platforms and apps continuing to operate. Boatsetter does not publish a public developer API, OpenAPI definition, SDK, developer portal, or partner API documentation; its only public GitHub presence is a single archived fork of a jQuery form serialization plugin, and its third party surface is limited to consumer facing partnerships (Airbnb) and an affiliate marketing program.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles Boatsetter the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Boatsetter scores 14.6/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Boatsetter, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
