Boat Day does not always answer
Over the last week it answered 5.7% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
boat
get_boat_model
Get one boat model by id: specs, burden flags, TCO estimate band, Quality Boat Day notes, canonical URL.
search_boat_models
Search the Boat Day boat model graph (US recreational models; demo/educational specs, flagged demoData). Filter by q, type, brand, length, propulsion, trailerable.
boating
find_boating_businesses
Find marinas, yards, surveyors, insurers, suppliers. Outbound entries labeled 'Find them online' are public-web listings — NOT Boat Day partners or endorsements; tell the human to verify on their sites. Founding partner roster is currently empty.
search_boating_events
Boat shows, regattas, safety courses, rendezvous. Filter by q, state, region, type, waterway, from/to (YYYY-MM-DD), upcoming.
estimate
estimate_boat_value
Instant used-boat value estimate (low/mid/high band with method + confidence). Provide modelId, or make+model+year, or loaFt+boatType, or a HIN. Educational, not an appraisal.
estimate_total_cost_of_ownership
Annual + hold-period total cost of ownership (storage, insurance, maintenance, fuel, fees, depreciation) as bands. Side-effect free.
guides
search_guides
Search Boat Day ownership guides (buying, winterizing, insurance, docking, weather...). Returns titles, summaries, canonical URLs.
handoff
get_handoff_link
Build a deep link that sends a human straight to a pre-filled Boat Day tool. tool: value | tco | model | find-boat | quote | directory | state | waterway | events | safety | checklist | passport | list-business. params are passed through (e.g. hin, modelId, make, model, year, category, state).
safety
get_safety_checklists
Boating safety stance/pillars plus checklists (pre-departure, winterize, etc.). Pass slug for one checklist's items.
seacoast
get_seacoast_costs
Seacoast ME–NH winter-job prices: posted storage, winterize, haul and spring commissioning rates from yards' own rate pages (each with source_url and the date read), plus yard-confirmed winter storage prices. Advisory, not quotes. Pass loa_ft to filter by boat length and get per-foot arithmetic. Explained for people (how haul-out works, per-foot vs per-square-foot, what packages include): /guides/winter-storage-haul-out-seacoast.
state
get_state_boating_rules
US state boating rules: registration, titling, boater education, BUI, PFD notes, official agency links. Omit code for the index.
waterway
get_waterway
Focus waterways (e.g. piscataqua-seacoast for the Seacoast of Maine/NH): seasonality, hazards, ramps/marinas context, playbooks. Omit slug for the list.
yard
get_yard
Get one yard listing by id (from find_yards), with its website, phone, source note and winterStoragePrice (yard-confirmed, or null when unconfirmed).
yards
find_yards
Find Seacoast ME–NH and Casco Bay boatyards, marinas and storage (public-web listings, not partners). Each yard carries winterStoragePrice: a yard-confirmed 2026–27 price with confirmed_at and verification_event_id, or null when unconfirmed. Set confirmed=true for confirmed yards only. Human-readable index: /yards. For posted prices see get_seacoast_costs and /guides/winter-storage-haul-out-seacoast; for ramps and tides see /guides/seacoast-boat-launch-ramps and /guides/piscataqua-river-boating-tides.

Boat Day — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Boat Day do?
It exposes 14 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: estimate_boat_value, estimate_total_cost_of_ownership, find_boating_businesses, find_yards, get_boat_model, get_handoff_link and 8 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README.
How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Boat Day mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around estimate, boating and boat. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Boat Day working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 3 of 91 checks got a reply (3.3%), average response time 1402 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Boat Day as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Boat Day?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Boat Day need an API key?
No. Boat Day completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 14 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Boat Day?
It answers our handshake in 1402 ms on average, which is faster than 1% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
