Gets in boats to resort (7)

I believe the answer is:

obtains

'gets' is the definition.
(obtaining is a kind of getting)

'in boats to resort' is the wordplay.
'to resort' is an anagram indicator.
'in'+'boats'='inboats'
'inboats' with letters rearranged gives 'OBTAINS'.

(Other definitions for obtains that I've seen before include "Authority" , "Gets" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
