The problem

Where captains lose bookings

Most guides are great on the water and too busy to fight with a website. Here's where customers slip off the hook.

01

Facebook-only

People searching "fishing charter near me" on Google can't find a page that isn't a real website.

02

Missed calls

You can't answer the phone while you're netting a fish. A booking page answers for you.

03

Slow on phones

Most people book from their phone. An old site that's slow or tiny on mobile sends them to the next captain.

04

Marketplace fees

Booking sites take a cut of every trip. Your own site lets customers book you directly.

What we build

Everything a customer checks before they book

Trips & rates

Half-day, full-day, sunset runs. Clear prices, hours, party size and what's included.

Online booking

Customers pick an open date and pay a deposit with Stripe. You get a text and an email.

Catch wall

A photo gallery of happy customers and big fish. The best proof you can show.

Captain & boat

Your story, license and years on the water, plus boat specs, so families know they're in good hands.

Fishing reports

Post a quick report and photo from your phone. Fresh posts help you show up on Google.

Map, reviews & call button

Where to meet the boat, your Google reviews, and one-tap call or text.

Insights

How customers find and book a charter

Most trips are decided on a phone in five moves. Here's each one, and what we build to win it.

1 · Search

"Fishing charter near me"

They search Google or Maps for your town or water, often a few weeks before a trip.

We buildGoogle Business Profile, your town and species in the page titles

2 · Compare

Photos and prices

They open three or four captains side by side and compare trips, prices and fish photos.

We buildClear trip cards with prices and a catch wall

3 · Trust

Who's the captain?

Families and first-timers look for the license, the boat, safety gear and what's included.

We buildA captain & boat page with your license and reviews

4 · Book

Pick a date, pay a deposit

If they have to call and you're on the water, they call the next captain.

We buildOnline booking with Stripe deposits, plus tap-to-text

5 · Return

Next season

Happy customers rebook, buy gift trips and send friends, if they remember where to find you.

We buildFishing reports, gift certificates and a rebook link

Book direct

Booking marketplaces help people discover you. Your own site is where repeat customers book you with no commission on the trip.

Phone first

Customers check you out from the hotel, the dock or the truck. Prices and the book button have to show without pinching and zooming.

Build in winter

Rebuild in the off-season so your site is live and showing up on Google before the spring rush.

Pricing

One price. No surprises.

We rebuild your website once, then keep it running for you every month. That's it.

Step 2 · Every month

Questions

Before you cast off

Do I own my domain and my photos?

Yes. Your domain is registered in your name and your photos and words are always yours. If you leave, we hand everything over.

Can I still use FishingBooker or other booking sites?

Yes. Many captains keep listings for discovery and send repeat customers to their own site, where there's no commission on the booking.

How do deposits work?

Customers pay a deposit through Stripe when they book. The money goes to your own Stripe account, usually within a few business days.

What if I'm not good with computers?

That's the point of being paired with a builder. Text or email us what you want changed and we'll handle it.

Can I cancel?

The $200 upkeep is month to month. Cancel any time and we'll help you move your site.

I already have a website. Can you redo it?

Yes. List your current site on the Start Here form. We'll keep what works and rebuild the rest.

Ready to get your boat online?

Start with the Start Here form. It takes about 15 minutes, and we'll reply within one business day.
