Can I sell seats on shared tours and sunset cruises?

Yes. Set the number of seats for a trip and let each customer book as many as they need. The trip closes when the last seat is sold.

★ Boat rental booking plugin for WordPress

The Best Yacht & Boat Rental Booking Plugin for WordPress

Q: Can customers book boat rentals online?

Yes. Customers book 24/7 from your WordPress site. They pick a boat, a trip length and a start time, add the guest count and skipper details, and pay a deposit or the full price.

Q: Can I charge by the hour, half day and full day?

Yes. Give each boat its own price for every trip length, such as 2 hours, a half day or a full day. The calendar blocks the right hours automatically, plus any buffer you add for refuelling and cleaning.

Q: How do I stop the same boat being double-booked?

Set up each boat as its own bookable resource with its own calendar. Once a boat is booked for a time, that slot closes for everyone else.

Turn your WordPress site into a complete boat reservation booking system. BookingPress lets customers book boat rentals online while you manage boat availability, rental schedules, payments, and reminders, all with no per-booking commissions.

Questions boat rental owners ask

Got Questions About Boat Rental Booking? We’ve GotAnswers

Can customers book boat rentals online?+

Yes, with ease. BookingPress boat rental booking software for WordPress allows your customers to book 24/7 from your WordPress site. They pick a boat, a trip length and a start time, add the guest count and skipper details and pay a deposit or the full price via 22+ payment gateways.

Can I charge by the hour, half day and full day?+

Yes. BookingPress booking system allows you to give each boat its own price for every trip length, such as 2 hours, a half day or a full day. The calendar blocks the right hours automatically, plus any buffer you add for refuelling and cleaning.

How do I stop the same boat being double-booked?+

Just set up each boat as its own bookable resource with its own calendar using BookingPress Resources Addon. Once a boat is booked for a time, that slot closes for everyone else.

Can I limit the number of guests per boat?+

Yes. Set a maximum capacity for each boat, so a 10-person pontoon can never be booked for 12.

Can I collect boating licenses and a signed rental agreement?+

Yes. Add a file upload field for a boating license or ID, custom fields for guest details, and a required checkbox for your rental agreement and damage policy.

What happens when the weather cancels a day?+

You can simply block the day in your BookingPress admin calendar and cancel the affected trips from the dashboard. Customers are notified automatically and can rebook a new date from their account.

Can I run bookings for more than one marina?+

Yes. With the BookingPress Multi-location add-on on the Professional plan, customers choose a marina first and only see the boats and times available there.

Can customers add a captain, fuel or gear?+

Yes. Add them as service extras with their own price, such as a captain, a fuel package, a cooler or a tow tube. Extras that take time are added to the booking automatically.
