It looks like your website —
because it is.
Your name, your boat, your domain. Book the Captain runs the booking, deposits, waivers, and reminders behind a professional charter site your customers will never know isn't hand-built.
Your customers book you, not a platform
Marketplaces own your customers and take up to 30%. Booking software passes 6–8% fees to your guests. Book the Captain gives you your own storefront — you keep the relationship, the reviews, and the repeat business.
Online booking & deposits
Guests pick a date, pay a deposit to lock it in, and settle the balance at the dock — card, cash, or Venmo. We record it all.
E-sign waivers built in
Book → sign → show up. No extra subscription, no second login, no clipboard at the dock.
SMS & email reminders
48-hour and 24-hour reminders with directions and balance due. Fewer no-shows, no phone tag.
Weather cancel & reschedule
Blow-out day? One click notifies the crew, offers new dates first, and refunds per your policy.
Promo codes & tips
Run specials, issue gift codes, and let happy crews tip the mate right from their phone.
Reports & QuickBooks export
Season totals, payouts, and a bookkeeper-ready CSV. Run it like a business, because it is one.
