Boatsetter is the global leader in peer-to-peer boat rentals, connecting New Bern, North Carolina boaters with a local marketplace of privately owned pontoons, fishing boats, speed boats, and party boats. Rather than operating its own fleet, Boatsetter lets renters browse available boats by location and date, choose whether to captain the boat themselves or bring on a licensed captain, and book directly with the boat owner online.
New Bern sits along the Neuse and Trent Rivers near the Pamlico Sound, giving Boatsetter’s local listings a range of options for fishing trips, bachelorette parties, and general day cruising, with rates starting around $50-66 per hour depending on the boat type.
Every Boatsetter rental includes insurance coverage through an exclusive partnership with GEICO Marine and BoatUS, along with on-water assistance through TowBoatUS. Renters must be at least 18 to book a captained boat, with a maximum coast guard-permitted capacity of 10-12 people depending on the vessel.
For anyone in New Bern looking to rent a pontoon, fishing boat, speed boat, or party boat from a selection of individually owned vessels, Boatsetter offers an insured, easy-to-book peer-to-peer marketplace.
