Switching from Fresha?

Salon software doesn't book fishing trips.

Fresha dominates hair salons and spas. But for charter fishing with weather policies, waivers, and guest counts? Wrong tool.

Why operators are switching

Common frustrations with Fresha

Built for beauty, not boats

Fresha excels at haircuts, facials, and spa treatments. Multi-guest fishing charters with weather-dependent schedules? That's not their world.

Payment processing fees add up

Fresha charges payment processing fees on every transaction. For high-value charter bookings, those percentages matter.

No outdoor activity features

No weather integration, no marine forecasts, no automatic weather cancellation policies. Indoor services don't need those.
