BookSea is for operators who rent the whole boat: excursions, inter-island transfers, day charters, sunset trips — all from the same fleet. Configurable deposits, automated balance reminders, Google Calendar sync. 3% per booking, no monthly fee.
Start Your Free TrialNo passenger manifests, no per-seat pricing, no headcount logic. One booking equals one vessel for a defined window. What customers do on board — fishing, snorkeling, an island transfer, a sunset cruise — is the service you configure. Multiple services off the same fleet, all under one operator.
Set the deposit percentage at the company level — anywhere from 0 to 100% upfront. Choose whether to pass the card-processing fee through to the customer. Automated balance-reminder emails chase the remainder on a schedule you control, in your company timezone.
Every confirmed booking pushes to your company's Google Calendar with guest, party size, and trip notes. BookSea scans the calendar back twice a day and flags any drift on your dashboard, so a moved event doesn't become a paying party arriving to an empty slip.
BookSea is booking software, not a marketplace. You own your Stripe account, your Google Calendar, and your customer relationships. We provide a booking widget that lives on your website — no commission splits with a third party, no vendor lock-in, no platform competing for your customers. Leave any time with all your data.
A single copy-paste snippet on your existing website. Customers see your fleet, available dates, services, and prices, and book in under 60 seconds without leaving your site. No new domain, no marketplace middle-man, no platform competing for your customers.
Pick your deposit percentage (0–100%) at the company level. Set a card-fee pass-through up to 9.9% if you want customers to cover Stripe processing costs, or absorb it into your pricing. Each company is configured independently, so your numbers don't have to match anyone else's.
Daily balance-reminder emails run on the time-of-day you set, in your company's timezone. Each customer gets a Stripe-hosted payment link to settle their balance before sailing day. Send a manual link any time from the booking detail page if a guest needs nudging.
Bookings push to your Google Calendar with full trip details. Twice a day, BookSea reads the calendar back and compares it against the bookings in the system. If a date, time, or guest info has drifted because someone moved an event by hand, the booking gets flagged with a warning icon on your dashboard so you can reconcile before the trip.
Add each vessel with its own capacity and availability calendar. Define services (half-day catamaran charter, full-day motorboat transfer, sunset cruise) and link them to specific boats. The widget surfaces only the boats that can actually run the service on the date the customer picks — no double-bookings across the fleet.
Sell add-ons (snorkel gear, lunch package, fuel surcharge, photographer) attached to specific services. Issue promo codes for return groups or shoulder-season pushes. If a customer abandons checkout, BookSea emails a one-click link 15 minutes later to come back and pay — captures bookings most operators lose silently.
One fleet, many services. BookSea handles whatever you put your boats out for:
Whole-boat hire for half-day, full-day, or sunset trips with captain and crew
Fixed-route transfers between marinas, islands, villas, and airports
Whole-boat trips to private spots, with crew-led service and optional gear add-ons
Reef, inshore, or offshore charters with mate-led packages and Extras for gear
Birthdays, bachelor parties, team outings — promo codes for return clients and groups
Combine destinations or activities in one booking; captain routes the day
Pay-as-you-go: only pay when you take a booking. No monthly subscription, no upfront cost, no cancellation fees.

Start Free TrialBookSea is built for operators who rent the whole vessel. There is no per-seat pricing, no passenger manifest, no headcount logic. One booking equals one boat for a defined window — what your customers do on board is part of the service you configure. Pricing, deposits, and crew are set per service.
Yes — both are configurable per company. The deposit percentage can run anywhere from 0% to 100% upfront, and a card-fee pass-through can be applied up to 9.9% if you want customers to cover Stripe processing. Every company runs its own numbers independently.
Automated balance-reminder emails go out on a daily schedule you control — you pick the time of day, in your company's timezone. Customers click through to a Stripe-hosted payment page. You can also send a manual payment link any time from the booking detail page.
BookSea scans your Google Calendar twice a day and compares it against the bookings in the system. If a booking's date, time, or guest info has drifted, the booking gets flagged on your dashboard with a warning icon so you can review what changed and reconcile before the trip.
Yes. Add each vessel to your fleet with its own capacity and availability, then define services and link them to specific boats. The booking widget shows only the boats that can actually run the service on the date the customer picks — so you never double-book a hull.
Yes. The widget renders in your customer's language (English and French today, more by request) and each company runs its own configured currency — Caribbean operators on USD, Mediterranean operators on EUR, others on their local denomination.
3% per booking on Pay-As-You-Go with no monthly fee. Or 2% per booking plus €150/month on Premium, which adds analytics, promo codes, and custom branding. Stripe processing fees (~2.9% + 30¢) go to Stripe directly, not to BookSea. No setup fees, no cancellation fees.
Yes. Your Stripe account, your Google Calendar, your customer data — you own all of it. Remove the widget snippet from your website and you're done. No cancellation fee, no contract to break.
Private boat charter is a vessel-as-unit business. A 12-guest catamaran or a 10-guest motorboat goes out for half a day; the customer pays for the boat, and what they do on board — fishing, snorkeling, a beach lunch, an island transfer — is part of the service you provide. Most generic booking platforms get this wrong: they sell seats, count passengers, and try to optimize per-seat occupancy. That is a fundamentally different business.
BookSea is built for the operators who rent whole boats: small fleets, captain-led trips, deposit at booking, balance before departure. The widget sits on your existing website — no marketplace listing, no new domain, no platform competing for your customers. You configure the deposit percentage, the card-fee pass-through, the balance-reminder schedule, the currency, and the languages. Bookings push to your company's Google Calendar with all the trip details, and if anything drifts there, BookSea flags it on the dashboard so a paying party doesn't show up to an empty slip.
Pricing is pay-as-you-go: 3% per booking, no monthly fee, no contract. You pay when a customer pays you — never before. Your Stripe account, your Google Calendar, your customer relationships — walk away any time with all your data.
Fixed-route inter-island and marina-to-marina transfers. One price per boat, multi-language widget, precise pickup-time tracking.
