Switching from Calendly?

Meeting scheduling isn't charter booking.

Calendly is perfect for scheduling calls. For booking fishing trips with deposits, waivers, and weather policies? You need charter software.

Why operators are switching

Common frustrations with Calendly

Built for meetings, not reservations

Calendly schedules Zoom calls and sales meetings. Collecting deposits, managing guest counts, handling cancellations? That's a different job.

No payment collection for services

Calendly can connect to Stripe/PayPal for basic payments, but it's not built for deposits, balances due, or refund policies.

No industry-specific features

No weather policies, no digital waivers, no guest management. It's a calendar tool, not a booking platform.
