Switching from SimplyBook.me?

60+ features you won't use.

SimplyBook has tons of features — but not the ones charter captains actually need. Weather policies, guest waivers, fishing-specific tools.

Why operators are switching

Common frustrations with SimplyBook.me

Booking limits on all plans

50 bookings on free, 100 on Basic, 500 on Standard. Hit your limit mid-season and face overage charges or forced upgrades.

Pay for features individually

SimplyBook uses 'custom features' — you pick 1, 3, 8, or unlimited based on plan. The features you need might require a higher tier.

HIPAA and enterprise focus

Great for healthcare practices and multi-location businesses. For a captain with one boat? Massive overkill.
