If you would like to ask an owner questions before submitting a booking request, you can send a message through the Boatsetter messaging platform. You must have a verified account to do so. Entering payment information is not required to message an owner. Messages are a great way to learn if a vessel is a good fit for you.

Sending a message

To send a message, navigate to the boat listing page and scroll down until you see the owner’s profile under “Your crew”. Click “Message Owner” on the right-hand side.

You will be prompted to fill out details regarding your inquiry, along with a message to the owner with information about your desired booking details.

Receiving a message

When you receive a new message, you will see a notification alert on the “Messages” tab within the site navigation bar. Click “Messages” to view your conversations. Based on your notification preferences, you may receive additional SMS and email alerts regarding new and unread messages.
