For Boat Owners

List your boat.
Earn more. Stress less.

Most boat rental platforms make you do the work while taking a large cut and leaving you with poor tools. Captain Stay gives boat owners a professional listing experience, clear payout terms, and real control over their business.

  • Get your boat listed in minutes — not days
  • Set your own pricing, availability, and add-ons
  • Know your earnings upfront — no surprise deductions
  • Dedicated owner app built around how you actually operate

For Renters

Find a boat.
Book it. No surprises.

Hidden fees added at checkout. Confusing cancellation terms. Outdated listing photos. Sound familiar? Captain Stay is built differently — the price you see is the price you pay, and every listing is presented clearly so you know exactly what you're booking.

  • Full price shown before you confirm — always
  • Clear cancellation and refund terms on every listing
  • Verified boat listings with accurate photos and details
  • Simple mobile booking — discover, compare, and confirm in minutes

Why Captain Stay

The boat rental experience
people actually deserve.

Existing platforms were built for volume, not experience. They pile on fees, give owners poor tools, and leave renters guessing on price. Captain Stay is being built to fix all of that — starting with transparency on both sides.

01

No hidden fees — ever

Other platforms add service fees, booking fees, and insurance costs at checkout. On Captain Stay, what you see is what you pay. Every time.

02

Owners keep more

Most platforms take 25–35% from owners. Captain Stay is designed with a fairer structure so the people doing the work actually benefit from it.

03

Built for mobile first

Two dedicated apps — one for owners, one for renters — built from the ground up for iOS and Android. Not a website squeezed onto a phone screen.

04

US-focused, not generic

Global platforms spread themselves thin. We're launching in the top US boating markets and doing it properly — with local support and a focused product.
