For Boat Captains

Get discovered by athletes who need you

List your boat, set your availability, and let paddlers, swimmers, and foilers find you when they need an escort for their next crossing.

1 Register your boat: Create your captain profile and add your boat details — name, type, capacity, safety equipment, and photos. Show athletes exactly what they're booking.
2 Set your location & availability: Specify where you operate — Oahu, Maui, Molokai, or anywhere else. Mark which races or dates you're available for so athletes can find you when they need you.
3 Publish & get booked: Once your listing is live, athletes can find you in the directory, see your availability, and reach out directly to book you for their crossing.
