EXISTING PORTFOLIO
Boatsetter.com

Boatsetter was founded in 2013 with the goal of bringing together boat owners, boat captains and renters seeking a way to experience boating with no ownership. Boatsetter exists to connect the boating world in a way it has never been connected before. It aims to make boating available to everyone by providing world-class insurance, 24-hour free cancellations and connection to our network of boat owners and certified captains, allowing everyone a chance to enjoy the luxury of boating.

Snag-A-Slip is a Baltimore-based company that connects boaters with available slips, while also showcasing marinas via digital channels in the same way that hotels are promoted digitally. The mobile-responsive website and mobile apps allow boaters to explore marinas by region, city or marina name and then search for slip availability based on travel dates, length, beam, draw and power requirements. Boaters can pick their preferred marina based on amenities, location and availability and book immediately with any credit card. There are no booking fees associated with the service, which is now available from Canada through the Caribbean. Snag-A-Slip mobile apps are now available for free download on the App Store and Google Play.

We deliver boater happiness via the world's first on-demand marketplace for the leisure boater, and advanced SaS toolsets for vetted marine businesses. Order fuel delivery, boat washing and just about any other boat service with a few clicks on your mobile device. Need regular boat maintenance? A repair? The newest bluetooth fishfinder? Whatever you want. Whatever you need. Just shoot us your request through the Boatyard app and we’ll do whatever it takes to make it happen for you.
