Switching from Bókun?

Skip the tourism middleman.

Bókun is built for big tour operators. If you run a charter boat, you're paying for features you'll never use.

Why operators are switching

Common frustrations with Bókun

Designed for Viator and TripAdvisor, not captains

Bókun is owned by TripAdvisor. Their focus is driving bookings to OTAs, not helping independent charter captains build direct relationships.

Complex setup for simple charters

Channel managers, reseller networks, multi-location tools — all overhead when you just need a booking page for your boat.

No charter-specific features

Where's the weather integration? The waiver management? The deposit handling that works for fishing trips?
