An account is required to book, list boats, or register as a captain/broker. Users are responsible for login security and account activity.

All bookings and payments are processed via Stripe. Guests pay upfront (including taxes, fees, deposits), and Owners/Captains receive payouts after completed charters. Service fees may apply.
5. Cancellations and Refunds
Policies vary per vessel and are displayed on listings. BoatSitterUS may allow rescheduling/refunds in unsafe weather or force majeure events.
