About Trusted Boater

We Built the Infrastructure the Water Has Always Needed.

Trusted Boater is a Predictive Waterway Intelligence platform connecting boaters, marinas, law enforcement, and insurers through a single verified record of truth — making every waterway safer, smarter, and more accountable.

Our Mission

Safety Isn't Just Good Values. It's Good Business.

Most boating accidents are preventable. Most of the cost they impose — on individuals, insurers, and the state — is invisible to the systems that could prevent them. We built Trusted Boater to change that.

We created a national platform that connects verified boater training, digital credentialing, and partner integrations into a single trusted record. Boaters earn it. Marinas, insurers, and agencies recognize it.

The result: safer waterways, lower insurance costs for skilled boaters, smoother experiences at the marina, and a credible record of training and behavior the whole industry can rely on.

The Problem We Solve

Three Broken Systems. One Platform.

The recreational marine ecosystem is fragmented and analog. Trusted Boater connects the pieces — for boaters, for the businesses that serve them, and for the agencies that regulate them.

Boaters have no verified identity
No standardized national license. No verified record of training. No way to prove skill to a marina, insurer, or law enforcement officer — until now.
Insurers price on guesswork
75% of the marine market operates as a data black hole. Carriers price skilled boaters the same as untrained ones — rewarding risk and penalizing safety.
Marinas have no booking intelligence
Slip and dock reservations happen without verifying who is coming in, what experience they have, or whether they carry insurance. Every booking is a liability taken on faith.
The Team

Built by People Who Know the Water and the Business.

Trusted Boater was built by operators, not theorists — people who have spent careers on the water, in insurance, in technology, and in government.
