Switching from Acuity Scheduling?

Your charter isn't a consulting call.

Acuity is great for coaches and therapists. For fishing charters with weather policies and group bookings? Not so much.

Why operators are switching

Common frustrations with Acuity Scheduling

Designed for one-on-one appointments

Acuity excels at scheduling consultations and therapy sessions. Multi-guest fishing trips with different party sizes? That's awkward.

No weather integration

Acuity doesn't track weather conditions or automate cancellation policies. For outdoor charters, that's a critical gap.

Squarespace ecosystem lock-in

Acuity is owned by Squarespace. Works great if you're in their ecosystem, but limits flexibility otherwise.
