for charter operations
You run the boat. We help you run the business behind it.
Bookings, deposits, balances, and captain pay in one place, run from your phone between trips. We never put you in a marketplace, and we never compete with you for your own guests.
what we handle
The dock, the boat, and the books
Leads caught while you are on the water
The phone rings while you're gaffing a fish. The request lands, the guest gets a real answer about what happens next, and it is waiting for you when you tie up. We hold the lead. We do not try to close it for you.
One calendar, every hull
Half day AM, half day PM, three-quarter and full day on the same boat the same day. Tide-set start times, not a 7:00 AM slot. Relief and hired captains on day rate.
When the weather turns
Move the trip and everything moves with it. The guest, the captain, the deposit, and the slot someone else was hoping for. One action, not ten phone calls.
Deposits, balances, and the cash at the dock
Deposit at booking with your terms attached. Balance however you take it, cash included. Captains paid off the completed trip, with 1099s accumulating across the season.
The six questions you answer a thousand times
Which marina, which dock, what time, where to park, the gate code, what to bring, whether he needs a license. Sent with the trip instead of by text at 9:00 PM.
Everyone who touches a trip, stored for you
Guest details, trip history, and the client list in your hands. Not a record you have to ask someone for.
what we never do
We never get between you and your guest.
We are not a marketplace. There is no listing, no grid, and no second front door with our name on it.
- We never list you in a marketplace where guests price shop you against the boat in the next slip
- We never take a commission on your bookings, wherever they come from
- We never bid on your name, your boat's name, or the searches your guests use to find you
- We never send traffic off your website and onto ours
And nothing changes about how you take the money.
- We never force a fee onto your guests
- You keep cash at the dock, and Venmo if you like
- You decide what your guest pays, not us
- Pay as you go. Not booking, not paying
where the bookings come from
Own your front door. Don’t rent one.
Getting found is a real problem, and it is the reason a listing looks like it is worth 20% in the first place. It is also the expensive way to solve it. A marketplace can charge what it charges for one reason: it owns the search result in your town.
So we build the site, on your domain, and we do the work that makes it rank. Charter keywords run a few dollars a click against a trip worth several hundred, so your own demand has excellent economics the moment your site actually works. The name and the reviews you have spent years on show up when someone looks you up in your area, and the guests you have already run stay on your list instead of theirs.
Built to be read by search engines and by the assistants people now use to plan trips.
If you want a website, we build those too.
A custom site with your Brindlechute booking built in. When something needs to change, tell us and we take care of it. Keeping the site you have? We wire your booking and contact forms into it during onboarding, set up the way you want them.
getting started
Setup is on us.
The stall on this is never the software. It is that you do not have a week in March to give it. So we do the migration, we bring your existing clients across, and you look at it when it is already working.
- We move your calendar and the clients you already have
- Live in about two days, in the off-season if you want it quiet
- Your captains get the app, and their own pay in it
