Why charter-specific booking software wins.

Generic schedulers are built for salons, not boats. Charter software needs deposits, trip durations, and boat-level availability.

Generic schedulers miss the mark

  • No deposit logic or cancellation windows
  • Single calendar with no boat separation
  • No passenger limits or trip duration rules
  • Payments handled outside the booking flow

PilotHouse fits how charters run

  • Deposits collected at checkout
  • Availability rules and trip buffers
  • Guest checkout with pay-now confirmation
  • Automated confirmations and reminders

Must-have features captains ask for.

  • Deposits (flat or percentage) with clear cancellation rules
  • Availability rules by boat, duration, and season
  • SMS and email confirmations
  • Customer list with booking history

Upgrade to Pro Charter when you need:

  • Branded-domain website with trip pages and galleries
  • Crew access and staff roles
  • Fleet scaling and advanced controls
