Boat & canal hire
They book the boat on your website
Weekly hire still goes through an agent because the fleet site can't take a deposit. Guests who want your boats should book your boats.
- Keep an agent
- 5% when they book with you
- No joining fee
- Your own website
On your own website
The chat, the booking box, your name on the door
A restaurant doesn't send you to a marketplace to book the table. Your room, cottage or pitch shouldn't either. Three things sit on your-boats.co.uk — not on someone else's page.
1 · The chat
Someone answers when you can't
The 8pm email, the question about the dog, the guest writing in another currency. The chat checks what's free and helps them book the boat — on your site. Try it. This is the real one.
Same chat that would sit on your-boats.co.uk
The booking box, on your-boats.co.uk
2 · The booking box
Dates, the boat, the card — on the page
They never leave for a checkout with someone else's name on it. What's free comes from your diary. They pay here. You keep the guest.
- Live boats from your own calendar
- They pay on your site
- We drop it onto the site you have, or WordPress
3 · Your own website
The reservation book has your name on it
Already have a site? We put the chat and the booking box on it. Don't? We host the whole thing from £12.99 a month. Either way the guest books you, not a marketplace.
- Keep an agent for people who don't know you yet
- iCal so the same night isn't sold twice
- 5% only on bookings taken through HolidayFox
