Stamp collector setting out in a little ship (11)

I believe the answer is:

philatelist

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stamp collector' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'out in a little ship' is the wordplay.
'a little ship' anagrams to 'PHILATELIST'.
Though, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'setting' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for philatelist that I've seen before include "Person with hobby" , "Stamp collector" .)
