Charter Boat Reservation Software
Charter Boat Bookings is boat reservation software. It is not a general reservation system for tour operators that has been adapted into an online boat booking system. The target users are owner-operator captains with no code writing expertise or agents developing an e-commerce website for captains. The dashboard has as few settings as possible to set up a typical sailing or fishing schedule and take paid reservations, manage availability, and communicate effectively with your customers.
Charter Boat Bookings is not a “one size fits all” solution. We have built different versions of our charter boat software for the different parts of the industry. Our team feel strongly that the best tools are designed fit for purpose rather than fit for building a bigger market size. In line with that goal, we build software fit for purpose for niche markets that we love.
Charter Boat Bookings is a service built on the WordPress framework using WooCommerce as the base e-commerce backbone. We designed the whole system specifically as a boat booking system for Charter Boats. It is built to suit the business needs of Sailing Charters, Fishing Charters, Sportfishing, Fishing Guides, even Duck Hunting Guides. This WordPress charter boat booking system includes industry specific features including weather predictions and sunset dependent products. Book private or per person charters, and set your maximum passenger capacity. Minimize refunds with built-in reservation fee and final balance.
Why WordPress?
WordPress is made great by an active and supportive community. When you get stuck, there are millions of other users out there willing to help out. Meeting a few of them is a great way to get started. Especially if you are building and managing your website yourself.
What is WooCommerce?
Charter Boat Bookings is built using WordPress. WordPress is the most used Content Management System on the internet and more than 35% of all websites across the globe use it. WordPress is Open Source Software, lives on your personal web server, and it is free. You own your content and can export/convert to any other platform at any point in the future. Open Source guarantees you that your website will adhere to these four freedoms of open source
More specifically, Charter Boat Bookings is an extension of WooCommerce. WooCommerce is a free WordPress E-Commerce Platform so setting up a store, processing credit-cards, and sending receipts, etc is part of WordPress for free. Your customer’s never leave your site and you have access to their contact information and can follow up with them as needed.
Need A Fishing Guide Website?
If you need a website, no problem. Someone from MSP-Media can build your website for you. Charter Boat Bookings comes with a pre-built website template, but our team can customize that for your boat and captain. At $69 per month, Charter Boat Bookings is a great value and a nice simple way to sell fishing charters online with a limited a budget.
How easy is the setup?
It’s a breeze.
Our team can usually have a demo for you within 24-48 hrs. The demo will be a mock up that represents your boat, your captain, etc.
Our simple templates make doing it yourself simple, but if you’d prefer our white glove service, $500 is a bargain.
