The captain network where owners pay you directly.

Free for licensed USCG and RYA captains. Get matched with boat owners and charter operators near you — keep 100% of your captain pay. We never take a cut.

No sign-up fees. No monthly fees. No commission on captain pay.

Why we're different

Boat-Bridge does not take a cut of your captain pay.

Owners and customers pay you directly — your way. We're a network, not a middleman. Our business runs on operator subscriptions and a 10% commission on Charter Bookings we route to your boat — never on the captain wages you earn.

For captains

Earn more. Keep all of it.

Built by people who've run charters. Free forever for licensed captains.

Get paid directly. We take $0.

Boat owners and charter customers pay you directly — cash, Venmo, Zelle, your own invoice. Boat-Bridge never touches your captain pay and never takes a commission.

Steady job leads

A profile that builds your reputation

Free training & community
