Now booking Florida charters for the 2027 season

Booked solid.
Even in the slow season.

We build fishing charters a website that books trips directly — with Stripe payments straight to your bank — then run the Google and Meta ads that keep it full. No more handing 15% of every trip to a booking platform.

The Problem

Your boat is ready.
Your bookings? Not so much.

Most captains are world-class on the water and invisible online. Meanwhile the platforms taking your bookings are taking a cut of every single trip.

15–20% gone

That's what FishingBooker, GetMyBoat and the rest skim off every trip you run. On a $1,200 offshore day, that's up to $240 — for a listing you don't even own.

Page 3 of Google

Anglers search "fishing charter near me" every day in your waters. If your Maps listing and site aren't dialed in, those deposits go to the boat next slip over.

A website from 2014

Slow, not mobile-friendly, no online booking, photos from three phones ago. Customers judge the trip by the site — then book somewhere that looks alive.

Zero rebooking

Last season's clients loved the trip — and never heard from you again. No follow-ups, no reviews requested, no repeat deposits. That's the easiest money you're leaving on the dock.

What You Get

Everything it takes to
keep a calendar full.

One team, one monthly partnership — website, booking, ads, and follow-up working together. Fishing charters, nothing else.

Flagship

Website + Direct Booking

A fast, cinematic site built around your boat and your waters — with the booking engine you just tried built in. You own it. No platform fees, ever.

Stripe Payments, 0% Commission

Deposits and balances processed through your own Stripe account. Standard card rates only — the 15–20% platform cut stays in your pocket.

Google Ads + Local SEO

Own "fishing charter near me" in your waters. Search campaigns, Maps optimization, and review velocity that put you above the fold when anglers are ready to book.

Meta Ads + Content

We shoot on your boat, then turn that footage into Facebook and Instagram campaigns that fill weekdays, shoulder season, and last-minute cancellations.

CRM + Rebooking Engine

Every guest is captured, tagged, and nurtured. Automatic review requests, holiday gift-card pushes, and "book next season" campaigns that fill the calendar before it opens.

Reporting That Reads Like a Fish Finder

One monthly scorecard: bookings, revenue, cost per trip booked, and where every dollar came from. If a number can't be tied to deposits, we don't chase it.

FAQ

Asked on almost every audit call.

Do I have to leave FishingBooker right away?

No. Most captains keep their listings while we build direct bookings up. As your own site takes over, the platforms become optional overflow instead of your lifeline — and you decide when to cut them loose.

Who owns the website and the customer list?

You do. Your domain, your Stripe account, your customer data. If we ever part ways, everything stays with you. That's the whole point of getting off the platforms.

How do payments actually work?

Bookings run through Stripe connected to your own bank account. You set deposit rules (50% is typical), customers pay by card or Apple Pay, and payouts land in your account in about two business days. You pay only standard card processing — no commission to us or anyone else.

What if a trip gets weathered out?

The booking system handles reschedules and refunds in a couple of clicks, and automated texts offer your next open dates first — so a blown day turns into a moved booking instead of a lost one.

How much does it cost?

It depends on whether you need the full build or just ads on an existing site. On the audit call we'll show you the math against what you're currently paying in commissions — for most boats running 10+ trips a month, the switch pays for itself.

Do you work with charters outside Florida?

We're built in St. Pete and know these waters best, but the system works anywhere anglers search Google. If you run a legitimate charter operation, book the call.
