Boat & canal hire
Let guests book the boat on your own website
Weekly hire still goes through an agent because your website can't take a deposit. Guests who want your boats should be able to book and pay on your own website.
We add a Book now button to your website, or build you one. We set it all up, and you don't need to be technical.
- Keep an agent
- We set it up for you
- No joining fee
- 5% of each booking through us
1 · The chat
Someone answers when you can't
It answers the 9pm email, checks what's free and helps them book the boat on your website. Try it: this is the real one.
This is the real chat. Ask it about next weekend.
This is what guests see on your website
2 · The Book now button
Guests pick the dates and pay on your website
- It only shows boats that are free
- They pay by card, and the money goes to your bank
- We add it to the website you have for you
3 · Your own website
The site has your name on it
Already have a site? We add the chat and the Book now button. Don't? We host one from £12.99 a month.
- Keep an agent for people who don't know you yet
- Never sold twice: one calendar for every listing
