One captain, from the first call to the catch report.

Shell Bank Fishing Charters is our test charter in Port Aransas, Texas: a 24-foot bay boat for half days, full days and sunsets, a 31-foot offshore boat, and shared trips by the seat on weekend mornings. Every screen below comes from it, in October.

01

Half day, full day, sunset: one boat, three trips, each at its own time.

A half day at 6 or 12:30, a full day at 6, a sunset at 5:30, and the phone books a half day at 9.

The bay boat has one page with its three trips and their prices: a half day of four hours for $650, a full day of eight for $1,050, a sunset of three for $450. Each trip is sold only at its own start times: pick the half day and Friday the 30th, and the boat offers 6:00 and 12:30, nothing else.

02

Four anglers included, six at most. The fish cleaning and the crew’s tip on the booking.

A party of five shows up for a four-angler trip, and the tip is an awkward moment at the dock.

Four anglers are in the price; the fifth and sixth are $75 each, and there is no seventh. Fish cleaning is $40 for the party, and the crew’s gratuity can go on the booking at 15% or 20% of the trip. A half day for five, cleaned and with 20% for the crew: $895.

03

30% holds the date. The balance at the dock.

A no-show on a Saturday in May costs the whole day, and a full prepayment scares off the families.

At checkout the charter asks for 30% to hold the date and shows what is left to pay at the dock; the angler can pay it all now instead. The half day for five: $268.50 now, $626.50 at the dock.

04

Shared trips by the seat. The weekend boat stays shared.

Two anglers want a seat, not a boat, and the Saturday morning is sold twice: as seats and as a charter.

On Saturday and Sunday at 6:00 the bay boat goes out as a shared half day: six seats at $165, with the seats left on each morning. The shared trip holds the boat for those hours, so the private charter can’t sell them: on Saturday the 31st a half day starts at 12:30.

The 24th: one seat left. The 31st: the afternoon. Click the image to enlarge.

05

The catch report the evening after.*

The best trip of the season ends at the dock, and the party never hears from you again.

The evening after the trip the party gets the catch, the captain’s note and the photos, with a code for the next trip and a link to leave a review. Gary’s half day for five.

06

Both boats, every trip slot, the week at a glance.*

The captain plans the week from the boat’s calendar, the shared trip’s list and a notebook, and the open afternoons only show up when the phone doesn’t ring.

The bay boat’s three slots and the offshore boat’s 5:00 from Thursday the 22nd to Sunday, the private charters with the party and the extras, the weekend’s shared trips with the seats sold of six, a full day that takes the 12:30 too, and every slot still open. The platform has each boat’s calendar and the shared trip’s list.

07

Your charter website, with the trips, the boats and the seats on it. Included.

Most charters have a Facebook page and a phone that rings while the captain is on the water.

We build it in your name: the bay trips with their times and prices, the offshore day, the shared trips and the rules on the boat. Every Book button opens the real page. Hosting is included.

Shell Bank, the test charter. Yours looks like yours.

Shell Bank Fishing Charters is a test charter we built for this page; the anglers’ names are made up, the phone numbers don’t exist and the photos are generated. Every screen not marked * is the system, with the test charter’s October run through it.

Questions charter captains ask us

If yours isn’t here, ask us. A person answers.

Can I set different prices for half-day, full-day, and sunset trips?
Yes. Each trip has its own price and its own start times; the angler picks the trip, then the time.
Can I limit the number of passengers per trip?
Yes. A private trip includes a number of anglers and caps the extras (four and two here); a shared trip sells a set number of seats.
Can I include a weather cancellation policy?
Yes. The policy goes in the terms the angler accepts at checkout; when the captain calls a trip, it moves to another day or the deposit is refunded.
What if my charter business is seasonal?
Trips can be sold only inside their season and closed on the days you don’t fish.
Does every passenger sign the waiver?
Yes. The waiver goes with the booking as a group document: the person who booked signs, and a link lets every other angler sign on their own phone. The booking shows who has, and who hasn’t.
Can I sell a trip as a gift?
Yes: a gift card is a product on your site. It turns into credit for the person it’s for, who books the trip and pays with the code.
I’m not tech-savvy. Can I really do this?
Yes. We set it up for you; on Professional you’re live in 24–48 hours.
