Boat charter booking with availability calendar and online checkout

From a single RIB to a fleet of yachts.

Day-charter & RIB operators
Hourly & half-day trips

Sell sunset cruises and island hops by the hour or half-day, take a deposit online, and stop the back-and-forth on WhatsApp.

Yacht & catamaran charters
Full-day & per-cabin

Bareboat or with skipper, whole-boat or per-cabin, with a calendar that never double-books and a waitlist that fills cancellations.

Six things a charter operator needs. All in one platform.

Each module below replaces a separate vendor most charter businesses pay for today.

Online Charter Booking

A branded booking page per boat: guests pick a date, duration and party size, see live availability, and pay a deposit on the spot. No double-bookings, no phone tag.

Flexible Pricing

Price per hour, half-day, full-day or per-cabin. Layer seasonal rates, skipper fees, fuel and cleaning extras. The checkout totals it all before the guest confirms.

Skippered or Bareboat

Offer the boat with a skipper, bareboat, or both as options on the same listing. Add crew, extras and equipment as selectable add-ons with their own prices.

AI Concierge

A floating chat answers guest questions in their language, suggests the right boat for the date and party size, and pre-fills the booking form — straight from your homepage, no signup.

Automatic Waitlist

When a boat is fully booked, guests join a waitlist instead of bouncing. If a slot frees up — a cancellation or a new departure — they're notified automatically.

Partner Marketplace

Hotels and travel agencies on LinkandBook embed your charters as inline cards on their pages. They earn commission per referred booking; you get pre-filled bookings with zero marketing spend.

From signup to first charter in one afternoon.

vs charter marketplaces, vs a contact form.

Most charter operators today rely on a listing marketplace that takes a cut, plus a spreadsheet and a WhatsApp thread. LinkandBook is your own branded booking engine instead.

Charter operators ask us…

Can I price differently per boat and per season?

Yes. Each boat has its own rates — hourly, half-day, full-day or per-cabin — and you can layer seasonal tiers, weekend surcharges, skipper and fuel fees, and a deposit percentage. The guest sees the full breakdown before confirming.

Do you support both bareboat and skippered charters?

Yes. Offer a boat bareboat, with skipper, or both as options on the same listing. Crew and equipment can be added as selectable add-ons with their own prices and availability.

What happens when a boat is fully booked?

Guests join an automatic waitlist instead of leaving. If a slot opens — a cancellation, or you add a new departure — waitlisted guests are notified so the seat or boat doesn't sail empty.

Can guests book in their own language?

Yes. The AI concierge chat and the booking page auto-detect the guest's language from your tenant settings (English, Greek, Italian, French, German and more). The concierge suggests the right boat for the date and party size and pre-fills the booking form.

How do partner hotels sell my charters?

Hotels and travel agencies on LinkandBook can embed your charters as inline cards on their booking pages. When their guest books, you get the booking and pay the host a commission (configurable per service), settled after the refund window. Your own direct bookings stay at 0%.

Can I issue a proper receipt for a charter?

Yes — one tap emails or SMSs the guest the official tax-authority receipt, or thermal-reprints a copy. Greek AADE Πάροχος is integrated today; other countries' e-invoicing modules are on the roadmap.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — free to start, no credit card required. You only pay when usage exceeds the free tier or when you opt into metered AI concierge / SMS.
