Captain Connection
Find a licensed captain near you
Captain Connection is how BoatWakr brings USCG-credentialed captains and boats together. Every captain listed here was approved by a human reviewer who checked their credential, and you can see their rating, charters and specialties before anyone is booked.
How Captain Connection works for you
Renting a boat?
Search boats near you that come with a captain. The captain fee is part of the price you see before you book.
Own a boat?
List it for free and offer it with a captain. Send an offer to a Connection captain near your marina; nothing is booked until they accept.
Hold a USCG credential?
Apply once with your credential and drug-testing enrollment. After approval, list yourself on Captain Connection with your home port, service radius and rate, and take the offers that fit.
What a captain costs
Connection captains name their own hourly rate and are never paid below a platform minimum that rises with the length of the boat. The captain fee is fixed when the renter books.
What we show about captains
