For Boat Owners

Your boat works for you.
Even when you're not on it.

List your vessel on HELM and access a qualified network of charterers. We handle everything — bookings, guest vetting, crew, insurance — while you collect revenue and maintain full control over your calendar.

Earn When You're Not Using It

Your boat is depreciating whether it's chartered or not. HELM matches it with vetted clients. Average active listing earns $48K/year.

We Handle Everything

HELM manages bookings, vets all guests, provides crew coordination, and handles insurance. You approve each charter — nothing happens without your sign-off.

Referral Revenue, Effortlessly

Share your personal referral link. When someone books any charter or service through your link — you earn a 5% referral commission, even if it's not your boat.

Transparent Split Payments

Charter revenue, captain's day rate, and fuel deposits are tracked separately. You see exactly where every dollar goes — paid out within 48 hours of charter completion.

Referral Program

Earn commission just by sharing.

Every HELM member gets a personal referral link. When someone books a charter, activity, or service through your link — you earn 5% commission. No booking required on your part.
