Terms of Service

Last updated: June 17, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to BoatOut (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website at boatout.com and all associated boating tools, calculators, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of these terms, then you may not access the Service.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using BoatOut, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

Informational Use & Verifying Results

BoatOut provides estimates and tools for general guidance and informational purposes only. Calculator results, boating guidance, and technical information on the Service are informational, built on documented indicative constants (typical loan rates, weight factors, and anchor guidelines), and may be incomplete or out of date, and the Service is not a substitute for advice from a qualified marine professional or your manufacturers’ documentation. Costs, weights, and conditions depend on many factors. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to treat results as general informational and educational content rather than a guarantee of results, and to verify safety-critical figures — especially towing weights and anchor sizing — against your boat’s, trailer’s, and tow vehicle’s manufacturer specifications, and do your own research before buying. All content on this site is general informational and educational content only and is NOT professional marine, financial, or safety advice; results vary.

Description of Service

BoatOut provides free, practical boating tools and educational resources, including:

All tools are provided free of charge. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.

User Responsibilities

Appropriate Use

Users of our tools and website agree to:

Check With a Professional When Needed

You are responsible for using your own judgment, and for seeking advice from a qualified marine professional or your manufacturers’ documentation, before making important decisions about a purchase, a tow, or your ground tackle. Our tools are designed to assist and inform, not to replace professional advice or your own judgment.

Tool Accuracy and Disclaimers

Calculation Accuracy

Our calculators and tools are provided for informational and educational purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that all calculations will be error-free or suitable for your specific needs. Results are estimates based on standard industry conventions, documented indicative constants, and the figures you enter; actual outcomes may vary based on your specific boat, equipment, waters, and individual circumstances.

No Guarantee of Results

BoatOut makes no warranties, expressed or implied, and disclaims all other warranties including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of intellectual property or other violation of rights.

Purchase, Safety & Financial Decisions

Boating guidance is general and informational only and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified marine professional or your manufacturers’ documentation. Costs, weights, and conditions depend on many factors. Always treat results as general guidance, not a guarantee of results, use your own judgment, and verify safety-critical figures such as towing weights and anchor sizing against manufacturer specifications before buying, towing, or anchoring.
