See Your Performance, Clear as Day

The new Performance Dashboard gives you a complete picture of your business metrics that actually matter. See how you stack up against similar charters in your area, track your earnings trends, and discover actionable ways to improve your booking success.

  • Analyze your listing views and trends
  • Track your booking conversion rates with year-over-year comparisons
  • Monitor trip realization and cancellation patterns
  • Compare your performance with similar listings in your area

Whether you want to boost your visibility, increase bookings, or maximize your earnings, the Performance Dashboard gives you the insights you need to make smart business decisions.

Every Event, Every Booking. One Calendar.

Add any event to your FishingBooker calendar with a single tap. From personal reminders to external bookings – keep your entire schedule organized in one familiar place.

With Calendar Events, you can:

  • Add trips booked outside FishingBooker
  • Block time for personal commitments or boat maintenance
  • Keep all your scheduling in one place
  • Prevent double bookings by maintaining accurate availability

No more juggling multiple calendars – this is your one-stop shop for scheduling everything related to your charter business.

Never Miss a Booking Moment

Keep your booking requests visible and actionable with real-time countdowns right on your lock screen. Live Activities (for iOS 16.2 or later) ensures you never miss an opportunity to respond to customers.

  • See how many requests you have at a glance
  • Watch real-time countdowns to request expiration
  • Tap once to view details and respond instantly
  • Stay on top of requests whether you have one booking or multiple

With Live Activities, your booking requests are always in sight, making it easy to respond and connect with customers.

Your Badge of Honor

If you’re a United States vet, you can now verify your status, and we’ll proudly present the Veteran’s Badge on your profile to help you attract more customers.

This badge:

  • Highlights your background as a United States veteran
  • Helps your listing stand out to customers
  • Adds another trust indicator to your profile

The verification process is straightforward – just upload your veteran documentation, and our team will review it within 2 business days.
