How it works

In your Instagram bio by this afternoon

Three steps. No onboarding call, no migration project, nothing to install.

  1. Describe your business once

    How many boats and boards you own, which tours you run, what deposit you take, and how far you will travel for a pickup. That is the entire setup.

    About 20 minutes

  2. Share one booking link

    Paste 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, everywhere

  3. Turn up and run it

    Reminders 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 after

Everything you need, nothing you do not

Built around what you own — not appointments

The fleet is the capacity

Twelve kayaks is twelve paddlers — not fourteen because two tours overlap at the turnaround. Doubles, singles and boards are counted separately, and a guide can only ever lead one group.

Studio and mobile, in one schedule

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.

You keep what your customers pay

Payments go straight to your Stripe account. No booking fees, no commission, no cut. A flat monthly price and nothing else.

Deposits and cancellation terms you set

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.

Reminders that cut no-shows

Automatic email and text reminders before every booking. Customers can cancel or move their own booking from the link, without messaging you.

Your calendar stays yours

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.

Multi-week courses that sell as one thing

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.

Take the register where the work happens

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

Built for how it actually runs

Most booking software was built for hair salons, gyms and massage therapists. It treats a business as a list of appointments. The fleet is the capacity.

Twelve kayaks is twelve paddlers — not fourteen because two tours overlap at the turnaround. Doubles, singles and boards are counted separately, and a guide can only ever lead one group.

Your booking page

Stop answering the same DM forty times a week

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.

Pickups & launches

Pickups priced by distance, checked before the booking

Set the stretch of coast you cover and what a pickup costs by distance. The address goes in before a time is offered, so a pickup you were never going to make cannot be booked.

Driving time comes out of the same day as your launches, so the schedule will not sell a tour you would still be towing a trailer to.

Works with your stack

Nothing to rip out

Your payments, your calendar and your inbox stay exactly where they are. BookAIHub plugs into them rather than replacing them.

Answers

Common questions

Still unsure? Start the trial — nothing is charged and nothing is installed.

Yes. Boats are a counted resource attached to the tour at one per paddler, so two overlapping tours cannot claim the same hulls. The limit is enforced in the database, not by a warning.

Yes. Each tour carries its own child price, and the booking page works the total out from the group.

No, and we would rather say so plainly than let you find out later. This runs your own direct bookings — your booking page, your customers, your Stripe account. If OTA channel management is what you need, this is not it yet.

One schedule, your vocabulary

Written for what you actually run

The same engine underneath every one of these. What changes is whether it counts wheels, hulls, benches or guides — and which of those the page in front of you talks about.
