A boat cannot be in two places
The vessel is booked for the whole departure — loading, cruise and turnaround — so a second trip cannot be sold over the top of it. Seats are capped by the licensed capacity of that hull, not a number in a box.
Scheduled departures and private charters on one schedule that blocks the vessel for the whole trip, turnaround included. No booking fees and no commission.
No card needed. Nothing to install.
How it works
Three steps. No onboarding call, no migration project, nothing to install.
Which vessels you run, their licensed capacity, your departure times, and the deposit on a private charter. That is the entire setup.
About 20 minutesPaste it into your Instagram bio, your website, or a reply. It shows live availability, takes the deposit, and confirms the booking without you.
One link, everywhereReminders go out on their own, the register is on your phone, and the money lands in your Stripe account. Nobody messages you to ask what time it starts.
Every week afterEverything you need, nothing you do not

Set a travel area with a radius and distance-based fees. Customers give their address before they pick a time, so nobody chooses a slot you were never going to reach. Travel time counts against your day.
Payments go straight to your Stripe account. No booking fees, no commission, no cut. A flat monthly price and nothing else.
Take a deposit or the full amount. Write your own refund ladder — full refund with two days notice, studio credit inside a day, whatever you actually run. Refunds follow it automatically.
Automatic email and text reminders before every booking. Customers can cancel or move their own booking from the link, without messaging you.
Two-way Google Calendar sync per instructor. A dentist appointment in your own calendar blocks that slot automatically, and classes appear where you already look.
Publish a six-week course and people enrol once, for the whole run. A course is only sold while every week of it has room, so nobody pays for six weeks and finds week four was full.
Mark a whole group present or absent in one tap, from the phone in your pocket. Course rosters show who has missed which week, so you know who is falling behind before they quietly stop coming.
How it runs
Most booking software was built for hair salons, gyms and massage therapists. It treats a business as a list of appointments. A boat cannot be in two places.

Your booking page
A booking page you can put in your Instagram bio, showing live availability. Customers book, pay a deposit and get a confirmation without you touching anything.
They can move or cancel their own booking from the link in that email, under the terms you set.

Meeting point
A meeting point is not an address. Put the real instruction on the confirmation — the pontoon, the gate code, the blue canopy — and it travels with the booking to everyone on it.
Second departure points are locations of their own, each with their own timezone and their own hours, so a cross-water run is not a note in a booking.
Works with your stack
Your payments, your calendar and your inbox stay exactly where they are. BookAIHub plugs into them rather than replacing them.
