For pricing, you can list your vessel with a [custom price](https://support.boatsetter.com/en_us/how-to-set-your-baseline-boat-price-HyTz8ksho) set by you or enable Boatsetter's **Smart Boat Pricing feature**. Opting into this feature will help you price your vessel competitively in the market in relation to other local vessels similar to yours.

To opt-in to this feature, navigate to your **Owner Dashboard > My boats > Edit listing > Durations & Pricing**.

There, you will see the following pricing section. You may toggle between “Smart boat pricing” and “Custom pricing” to see which pricing method works best for you:

New listings created after 7/13/2022 will automatically opt into Smart Boat Pricing upon submission. This can be edited anytime after a new listing is submitted.

Please note: **Smart Boat Pricing only affects the boat price. It does NOT apply to captains or vessels listed for fishing charters or vessels over 49 feet.** Learn how to set up your captain pricing [here](https://support.boatsetter.com/hc/en-us/articles/200622265-Adding-a-captain).

If you select custom pricing, you may notice a color-coded indicator showing how your current price compares to the Boatsetter recommendation. Green will indicate you are in line with Boatsetter's recommended price. A warning will show when you're outside of the range Boatsetter recommends.

If you wish to switch to Boatsetter's Smart Boat Pricing, toggle the button to enable it.

You will continue to be able to [adjust your prices](https://support.boatsetter.com/hc/en-us/articles/4412294779533-Setting-special-prices) through your calendar for any day, such as weekends and holidays, as you wish. The prices we recommend for your vessel are unique to the duration and do not dynamically change day to day. In the event we update prices, we will notify owners via email if the change is +/- 5% from the previous price.

_Please note: Opting into Smart Boat Pricing will not come at an extra cost to owners._
