Boat managers manage all of an owner’s approved listings, as well as their corresponding messages and bookings. You can manage multiple owner accounts at a time.

You have access to inquiries and booking requests related to bookings that start after you accepted the manager invitation. You can approve or decline booking requests, message renters, and edit or cancel approved bookings. You can also update the listing’s availability, pricing, and details.

As a manager, you can use the Boatsetter Owner app to easily manage your bookings and messages on the go. The app is available on [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/boatsetter-owner-app/id1369215908) and [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boatsetter.app&hl=en_US&gl=US).

## **Manager settings**

You can view or update your manager status on the “**Boat manager settings**” page via the Owner Dashboard. If you remove yourself as a manager, you will no longer have access to the owner’s approved listings, bookings, or messages. You will need to be invited again by the same owner or by another owner to reactivate your manager status.![](https://cdn.kustomerhostedcontent.com/media/63b5c8a85a141f76a9688e43/0f0f81f9515f506c15d0d17818fa6632.png)

## **Owning and managing vessels**

You can manage another owner’s account in addition to listing and managing your own vessels. Any vessels you manage that are not your own will have a “Managing” icon on the boat card on the “My boats” page. The corresponding bookings and messages will also have this icon.![](https://cdn.kustomerhostedcontent.com/media/63b5c8a85a141f76a9688e43/5f01eeb0bcdfb4b1b94914a451c30c49.png)

The account settings, owner stats, payout preferences, payout history, and tax form pages will only reflect your information as an owner, not the information for the owner whose account you manage.

You may [invite a manager](https://support.boatsetter.com/en_us/how-to-add-a-boat-manager-to-my-account-BJ1Q8ksns) to manage your own vessels by clicking on the “**My boat manager**” box from your Owner dashboard.
