The experience of being out on the water is like no other and we think even more people should have the chance to experience it. We're on a shared mission with the Andrew Simpson Foundation to make it simpler for young people to have fun afloat, even if you've never boated before.

Boatgen provides all the freedom of boating with none of the uncertainty of going it alone. We'll introduce you to new activities and a community of other young boaters who are just as passionate about the water as you are.
