At FishingBooker, you’ve built a business by doing what you love – getting people on the water and showing them an unforgettable time. Now, there’s a new way to put your skills and your boat to work: BoatBooker.

Whether you’re filling slow fishing days or preparing to explore new revenue streams, BoatBooker was made for you. Built by the same team behind FishingBooker, this new platform is designed to connect you with customers looking for more than just fishing – think sunset cruises, snorkeling adventures, wildlife watching, and more.

If you’re already crushing it with charters, here’s how joining BoatBooker can help you make even more – without adding complexity to your business.

Why BoatBooker?

1. More Trips, More Revenue

Let’s face it – there are hours, days, even whole months when fishing slows down. That doesn’t mean your boat should sit idle. With BoatBooker, you can stay busy while the fishing is slow by offering boating tours like sightseeing cruises, island hopping, or even dolphin-watching.

This isn’t just a side hustle – it’s a strategic way to monetize your off-peak hours with trips that require less prep and attract a different type of traveler.

2. You Already Know the Platform

Because BoatBooker was built by the FishingBooker team, everything from the calendar to the app to the booking system will feel familiar. That means zero learning curve and no time wasted figuring out a new system. You can also connect your FishingBooker calendar to your new BoatBooker profile so you can track your whole availability in one place.  

The best part? You’ll have the same dedicated support team who already knows your business. No starting over with explanations or getting passed around to different departments – just the reliable backing you’re used to from people who understand what captains need to succeed.

3. Get Through to More Customers

One of the secrets behind FishingBooker’s success? Elite marketing. That same marketing engine now powers BoatBooker. Our team specializes in advertising water-based experiences, so your boating tours will be promoted to a targeted audience of travelers looking for exactly what you offer.

Just like on FishingBooker, you don’t pay upfront for visibility. You only pay when you run a trip.

Built with Captains in Mind

A man wearing sunglasses and a hat stands at the controls of a boat docked at a marina on a sunny day. The bright sunlight glints off the water as he scans the area, perhaps keeping an eye out for SNAPPER, GROUPER, or even MAHI-MAHI swimming near the docks. He's likely hoping he'll spot some REDFISH or SHEEPSHEAD close to the pilings, knowing they often hang around in search of crabs and shrimp. With his gear ready and rod nearby, he's eager to start his day's fishing adventure.

We know the job is demanding. That’s why BoatBooker was built to solve problems, not create them.

Business Tools That Work

Manage everything from your phone. The BoatBooker for Owners app lets you handle:
